PO'BOY ROUNDUP

There aren’t many culinary items that I’ve encountered
that have sparked so much passion, enthusiasm, and outright strong emotion than that of the po'boy. Or is it po boy? Or maybe po-boy? Honestly, I’m not quite sure. The decision
of which grammatically correct way to write the word is a distant second to the significance of a po'boy’s contents, the overall presentation, and most importantly, the bread. The bread is crucial. A warm loaf of crispy, yet chewy French bread is the heart of the po'boy. Otherwise, you would just have a boring sandwich. And while the po'boy’s origins are rooted deep in New Orleans history, the Mississippi Gulf Coast has its fair share of wonderfully remarkable landmarks.

Bozo’s Seafood Market and Deli in Pascagoula is a staple of the coastal seafood scene. People wait in line for what may seem like an eternity to get a plate of steamed seafood or boiled crawfish. But Bozo’s is known for more than being a seafood market. Oversized po'boys have been a draw to
Bozo’s since its inception, and for good reason. They are so incredibly delicious. Bozo’s, both the Seafood Market and the restaurant-style, Bozo’s Too, is home to the Shrimp Overload Po-boy,
a mammoth sized portion of Bozo’s traditional shrimp po'boy. Seasoned and battered in Bozo’s house, secret blend of spices, fried shrimp aren’t just piled high, they are piled everywhere. Warm buttered French bread is basically swimming
in its own sea of over a pound and a half of fried shrimp goodness. Bozo’s po'boys are served dressed with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and to the delight of many, pickles. Come hungry for this monumental undertaking.
