My favorite thing about a poboy if im being honest is the bread. The outside being crusty and the inside being soft and fluffy and the fact it can hold so many ingredients and sauces I just love it. Now anything can be put on a poboy chicken, shrimp, porkchops really anything. At home I like to make a blackened chicken poboy with remoulade sauce very often because when I see good crusty bread I just have to make a sandwich.
