po boys are similar. The bread has a similar texture but a slightly different flavor. The toppings are usually quite different. Popular fillings for po' boys include fried oysters, shrimp, ham, beef, or boudin. They often use Creole mustard, hot sauce, sometimes Louisiana remoulade.

While there is a big Vietnamese presence in New Orleans, the po' boy didn't stem from the bahn mi. I would bet that the common French influence on both regions had something to do with their evolution, though.

The poor boy sandwich was created in New Orleans in 1929 when the Electric Street Railway employees went on strike, and the Martin brothers gave away sandwiches to the strikers. The original Martin poor boy sandwiches were typically fried potatoes, gravy, and spare bits of roast beef on French bread.

This exact image was posted a few days ago. I remember thinking how awful onions would be on seafood.
