EP 634: Ode to Olde Thyme Po'boys
We're roadtripping through Acadiana--exploring Louisiana's Cajun heartland, where French-Acadian roots, gumbo and bayou rhythms simmer together into one of America's most distinctive cultures. And as we learn today, Po'boys aren't just lunch. They're like love letters to Louisiana itself. At the Olde Tyme Grocery in Lafayette--where we enjoyed the hands-down very best oyster po'boy I've ever had--Ross Murphree shares his family's story. From purchasing the beloved corner grocery in 1982 to today's over-a-thousand-sandwiches daily rushes during Lent, we explore how a humble sandwich captures the flavors, faith and rhythms of Acadian life. From roast beef drippings to fried crawfish best-sellers, Ross reflects on feeding generations and preserving a culture--one perfect po'boy sandwich at a time.
