“Vola’s Dockside Grill” (The Review)

Uncategorized 1 Minute
This was either the best Chesapeake/Maryland crab dip I ever had in my entire life, or I was super hungry. But I believe it was the best I’ve ever had in my entire life.
So the ‘Po’ Boy’ originated in New Orleans in 1929, which was also the year the ‘Great Depression’ began. Legend or myth has it that due to the dire economic and social conditions at that time, workers in New Orleans who were either unemployed or were on strike would scrap together whatever they could find and make it into a sandwich, and that is how the ‘Po’ Boy’ came into being. It then became a mainstay or feature of not just Southern food, but American food as a whole. Combine the shrimp with oyster, and you get a “Peacemaker Po’ Boy.” But of course, more than anything else, the ‘Po’ Boy’ is a testament to the creativity and the grit of the workman or worker and of course the working class people of the world as a whole. It’s more about the working class than the rich in my view. Culture itself, and it’s all about culture, comes from the poor and working classes, not the rich and wealthy.
