New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival 2008

For too long the Rodney Dangerfield of New Orleans cuisine, the poor boy (po-boy) sandwich now boasts its own festival. After almost eight decades of being taken for granted and having its history misrepresented, the poor boy sandwich takes center stage on November 23rd, 2008, on Oak Street at South Carrollton in Uptown New Orleans.  In addition to great food music, they will have Kid's World with carnival games, face painting, tattoos, hair color, Build-a-Bear and various crafts. Free activities will be in the back of the Kids' section and will include a duck pond and sidewalk chalk.
