PO-BOY TRAIL
Like the history of almost any sandwich eaten worldwide, the po-boy is a working-class meal: traditionally cheap, portable, and filling.
The historical origins of this sandwich, however, are decidedly unresolved. Though it’s hard to say who brought the po-boy from New
Orleans to Lafayette, we do know that Hulo Landry opened a restaurant called Poor Boy’s in 1939. Today, the po-boy is a staple of
Lafayette lunch counters and dining rooms. With over a dozen local places serving this iconic sandwich, it won’t be hard to find your
favorite by visiting LafayetteTravel.com/Poboy.
