For instance, the day has typically marked the opening of the season at the Fair Grounds Race Course. Ostensibly, the main event at the horse track is the Thanksgiving Classic, which has been run since 1924, seventeen years before Thanksgiving was even declared an official federal holiday. In reality, it\u2019s an excuse for New Orleanians\u2014who at that point have suffered something like three whole weeks since Halloween without an occasion to put on a costume\u2014to don suits and fantastical headwear of all varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- Promo shortcode start --><div id=\"nlf-1c\" class=\"gg-promo topic-distilled\"><div class=\"grid\"><div class=\"left\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardenandgun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/promos\/bourbon-tall.jpg\" class=\"tall\" alt=\"glass of bourbon with ice\"><\/div><div class=\"right\"><form id=\"nlf-1\" method=\"post\" class=\"form\" action=\"https:\/\/gardenandgun.com\/newsletters\/\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"gg_form_submit\" value=\"nlf-1\"><div class=\"hed\">Get Our Bourbon Newsletter!<\/div><div class=\"dek\">Distilled is our newsletter about the South\u2019s favorite spirit.<\/div><div class=\"action two-items\"><div class=\"input-left\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"email\" class=\"email-input\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"you@example.com\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"group_id\" value=\"151240180\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"shortcode_form\" value=\"nlf-1\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"subscription_99416\" value=\"on\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"prev_page_id\" value=\"221822\"><\/div><div class=\"gform_footer\"><div style=\"display:none;\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"nl-nov-st\" id=\"nl-nov-st1\" value=\"\" autocomplete=\"off\" tabindex=\"-1\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"nl-nov-b\" value=\"\" autocomplete=\"off\" tabindex=\"-1\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"nl-nov-r\" id=\"nl-nov-r1\" value=\"2025-11-14\" autocomplete=\"off\" tabindex=\"-1\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"nl-nov-et\" id=\"nl-nov-et1\" value=\"\" autocomplete=\"off\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/div><button data-sitekey=\"6Lc-hRkaAAAAAI84hbB81Jl48pGievR_C_UgHdnY\" data-callback=\"on_submit_nlf_1\" data-action=\"submit\" class=\"g-recaptcha button button-primary after-email\">Sign Up<\/button><\/div><\/div><div class=\"captcha-terms\"><p>This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Privacy Policy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/terms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Terms of Service<\/a> apply.<\/p><\/div><\/form><script>document.getElementById('nl-nov-st1').value=Date.now();document.getElementById('nl-nov-r1').value='';function on_submit_nlf_1(token) {document.getElementById('nl-nov-et1').value = Date.now();document.getElementById('nlf-1').submit();}<\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- Promo shortcode end -->\n\n\n\n<p>Not far away, you\u2019ll find counterprogramming in the form of the annual Human Horse Races, in which contestants ride on each other\u2019s backs toward the finish line. Citizens of a healthier persuasion may wake early for the New Orleans Athletic Club\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeydayrace.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Turkey Day Race<\/a>, which turns 118 years old this November, while thousands line up the following night for the Bayou Classic Battle of the Bands, the epic duel of marching bands that, in most years, is a more exciting draw than the actual football game between Grambling State and Southern Universities. There aren\u2019t many American ills that one can come to New Orleans to escape, but the plague of adult loneliness is one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear in mind, the weather in late November is most often outright glorious\u2014a second spring that fairly demands you get out into the sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this is to say that there are multiple reasons one would not want to spend a New Orleans Thanksgiving trapped in front of a stove. One solution is the tradition of deep-frying turkeys, which offers the dual benefits of being done outside (seriously, don\u2019t do it indoors) and cooking the bird in an hour or less. The best plan, though, may be to get your seasonal cravings out of the way ahead of time, by eating one or more Thanksgiving po\u2019boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New Orleans hardly has a monopoly on Thanksgiving sandwiches. It is a ritual in all fifty states to follow up the traditional feast with a mini one, composed of leftovers stuffed between two pieces of bread. At some point, the sandwich began coming before the meal itself\u2014especially in New England, where such versions as the Gobbler, the Pilgrim, and the Puritan have long been cult items. (What\u2019s more appetizing than a Puritan?) But here, where the tradition runs headlong into <a href=\"https:\/\/gardenandgun.com\/feature\/making-the-case-for-new-orleans-as-americas-sandwich-capital\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Orleans\u2019 sandwich culture<\/a>, Thanksgiving po\u2019boys have recently become a citywide phenomenon.<\/p><div id=\"div-gpt-ad-7653554\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad mobile inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-4950682\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad tablet inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-9557305\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad desktop inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>The mania dates to 2007, when Justin Kennedy started serving his Thanksgiving po\u2019boy at <a href=\"https:\/\/parkwaypoorboys.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Parkway Bakery &amp; Tavern<\/a>. That was only two years after Hurricane Katrina, and Kennedy, who\u2019s now forty, had dropped out of college to help his uncle reopen the venerable sandwich shop. One day, one of their line cooks mused, \u201cIf you did a Thanksgiving po\u2019boy, they\u2019d be lined up down the block.\u201d This was prophetic: Kennedy gave it a try, and within a few years the sandwich, now available only on Wednesdays in November, had become a sensation. In recent years, Parkway has sold as many as a thousand Thanksgiving po\u2019boys per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DB_wPRJxQ0m\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Last fall, I finally headed over, nearly panicking when I couldn\u2019t find a parking spot. I speed walked up Hagan Avenue, past giant inflatable containers of Crystal hot sauce and Blue Plate mayonnaise, and up to Parkway\u2019s front door. In prime New Orleans fashion, it felt like a fest. There was music playing and a wheel you could spin to win prizes. This isn\u2019t so bad, I thought, looking around at the relatively modest crowd. Then I remembered it was 10:00 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only a few years ago, the madness was enough to make Kennedy think of pulling the plug\u2014exhausted by the toll one sandwich was taking on his staff and infrastructure. Then he had the idea of turning what had grown into a full-fledged event into a fundraiser for the Al Copeland Foundation, which supports cancer research in the name of the Louisiana restaurateur who founded Popeyes. Last November, Parkway\u2019s Thanksgiving po\u2019boys raised $50,000 for the foundation in four days.<\/p><div id=\"div-gpt-ad-4109780\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad mobile inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-8778675\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad tablet inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-9983291\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad desktop inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Beloved as the Thanksgiving sandwich is, it offers certain obstacles from the standpoint of Sandwich Theory. Unlike most of the world\u2019s great sandwiches, it does not have a built-in source of acid\u2014the sharp pop that sauerkraut lends the Reuben, say, or pickled carrots give the banh mi.

The base is a layer of dressing made with dark meat, turkey stock, cornbread, and French bread, which is crisped in the oven before service. Next come slices of white meat, then a slathering of cranberry sauce and a few ounces of rich turkey gravy. The sandwich mostly holds together, though I wouldn\u2019t go so far as to recommend eating it while wearing anything irreplaceable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other New Orleans sandwich shops have rolled out their own wrinkles on the formula. <a href=\"https:\/\/sammysfood.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sammy\u2019s Food Service<\/a>, on Elysian Fields Avenue, offers something closest to what you might make at midnight before Black Friday: soft and satisfying. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bywaterbakery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bywater Bakery<\/a> layers its turkey, dressing, gravy, cranberry sauce, and mayo on nicely salty loaves of focaccia. In the French Quarter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.killerpoboys.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Killer Poboys<\/a>, a pioneer of neo-po\u2019boys, serves what it calls the Gobbler, which comes stuffed with turkey, ham, sweet potato mash, and green bean and mushroom casserole, and topped with crispy fried onions and cranberry satsuma mayo. This reads like a monstrosity but is remarkably sound, with the ham providing salty ballast and the onions a welcome crunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DCrf97MRg6A\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

My partner instructs me to mention that none of the sandwiches contain enough cranberry sauce. I did not even give her a taste of the version at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.francolinis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Francolini\u2019s<\/a>, which contains none at all. Tara Francolini, who has become the city\u2019s foremost sandwich contrarian, hates the stuff and substitutes cranberry mustard instead. Her sandwich, named the Chandler, after a<em> Friends<\/em> Thanksgiving episode, comprises house-roasted turkey slices dunked in garlic butter just before serving, dressing, and a top layer of crushed salt-and-pepper potato chips.<\/p><div id=\"div-gpt-ad-9099870\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad mobile inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-5249601\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad tablet inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-2296239\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad desktop inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>With such bounty, no New Orleanian should ever want for Thanksgiving flavors.
