This hamburger po boy is one of my favorite things to eat. It’s a little on the messy side, which is always a good thing. I think sandwiches are meant to be messy. And they have to drip down yummy drippings that you can sop up with your bread, or better, fries.
Crank It Up!
You can make this hamburger po boy a little more like a real po’boy by slathering the buns with some Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce from Chez John. That stuff is like gold. It has a nice kick and it makes any sandwich amazing!
I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.
