What makes a food distinctly American? This week, Louisiana Eats explores

that topic by serving a heaping helping of Americana – in decidedly

Southern-sized portions. We sit down with native son, Burke Bischoff, whose

paperback Po'Boy, tells the story of the classic New Orleans poor boy

sandwich. We also speak with anthropologist Ty Matejowsky, author of

Smothered and Covered: Waffle House and the Southern Imaginary.
