If you're throwing a watch party for the Super Bowl, you couldn't ask for a better backdrop and inspiration than host city New Orleans. It's known for enticing food, and one that's fun to make and enjoy is the po'boy sandwich. Experts say that what makes the po'boy different from other sandwiches is the bread. It's got a crisp, thin crust and an airy, malty interior. You use two big pieces of it. If you're not in New Orleans, you might have to use a baguette or Italian loaf instead of the traditional New Orleans French bread. A fully dressed po'boy means shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced pickles and mayonnaise. But any combination is fine. Popular fillings include roast beef, fried oysters and fried shrimp.
