Lindy’s Po Boys brings New Orleans-style sandwiches to Brisbane
Steve Lind, owner of Lindy’s Po Boys in Brisbane, shares the history and appeal of the New Orleans-style po’ boy sandwich. Lind, a former touring DJ, discovered the sandwich in 2016 while filming a music video in New Orleans at the Parkway Tavern and Bakery.
Originating in 1929, the po’ boy was traditionally served as an affordable meal for striking streetcar workers. The sandwich is characterized by a light, fluffy, French-style roll and typically features fillings such as prawns, roast beef, or Louisiana hot sausage, often dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayonnaise.
Lind emphasizes that the sandwich’s success relies on the simplicity and balance of high-quality ingredients.
