The now-famous New Orleans po-boy sandwich is not only delicious, but also a part of the city’s history. In July 1929, streetcar motormen and transit employees went on strike to protest their wages and contract negotiations. To show their support, the Martin Brothers' Coffee Stand and Restaurant in the French Market promised to the local union, "Our meal is free to any members of Division 194,” and to keep that promise, they provided large sandwiches to the strikers.
