Part 6/7:
As lunchtime approaches, the kitchen transforms into a bustling environment, with employees hustling to fill orders. Every sandwich crafted is an homage to the cultural significance of the po-boy—delicate shrimp, fried to perfection, sprinkled with seasonings, or piled high with savoury roast beef. The way ingredients are assembled at Parkway echoes a sense of pride and personal touch. Each po-boy embodies years of tradition, effort, and care.
Reflecting on Culinary Heritage
The kitchen process extends beyond po-boys; dishes like jambalaya highlight the versatility and communal aspect of New Orleans cuisine. With roots tied to inexpensive and hearty ingredients, Parkway embraces these traditions in a way that resonates emotionally with patrons and staff alike.
