A place for everyone to share their homecooked meals. Jarred spaghetti sauce and boxed noodles absolutely. Ground your own mix of chuck and wagyu for your steakhouse burger with garlic aioli and seasonal greens perfect. Frozen pizza, TV dinners nah.
Rules: Don't be a dick. Keep it food related. No advertising.

You probably didn’t get the memo, but “Po Boy” is now considered a term with somewhat racist overtones. It makes light of an accent historically used in the deep south by marginized people. These days the sandwich should be referred to as a poor boy or a french bread hoagie.
Actually the name finds its origins in union organizing and worker solidarity.

Unless you can show me a source, I'm going to conclude that the only place its considered a racist term is between your ears, cus when I go to LA, its still a po'boy.
If you want to continue using the racist term go ahead, but please don’t use it around black people (like me).
Just show me one source saying that its considered a racist term. Cus I've been to the French Market and gotten po'boys and you not knowing they got their name during a workers strike to feed "the poor boys on the line" might just be you being ahistorical. I'm open to any sources or articles. Any time now.
