As Creole Cuisine Restaurant Concepts begins reopening many of its restaurants after the COVID-19 closures, the company’s Ammari brothers are introducing a specially priced six-inch, $6 po-boy to feed and support the local community. Nodding to the efforts of the Martin brothers during the economic decline of the 1920s, the Ammari brothers want to offer discounted sandwiches to feed those who have been out of work and have faced economic hardship recently. 

In remembrance of the way the po-boy fed city workers nearly a century ago, Creole Cuisine will donate $1 from each sandwich to Second Harvest Food Bank, where every dollar feeds four people. Additionally, TABASCO brand will match the donations offered by dining guests, and Leidenheimer Baking Co. is partnering with Creole Cuisine by providing bread for the po-boys. One-hundred percent of all donations go to the benefit of Second Harvest Food Bank and their initiative to let no one go hungry across South Louisiana. 

Marv Ammari, CEO of Creole Cuisine, notes his gratitude to be able to open their restaurants and serve the city once again: “Our restaurants are more than just a place to eat; they serve as a gathering place for celebrations, anniversaries, milestones. We are honored to be able to share those experiences with you and can’t wait to be a part of them long into the future.”

Participating Creole Cuisine restaurants that will offer $6 po-boys include: Broussard’s Shrimp Remoulade po-boy, Café Maspero’s Southern Fried Fish po-boy, Ernst Café’s Roast Beef po-boy, Royal House’s “Peacemaker” Shrimp and Oyster po-boy, and Tommy’s Classic Meatball po-boy. The sandwiches are available to dine-in and take-out only. Patrons can pick up a “Poor Boy Passport” and get a stamp for each $6 po-boy purchased. Restaurant-goers with a stamp for all five of the po-boys will receive a $100 gift card to use at any Creole Cuisine establishment.
