Chef Marvin Matherne has made over a million shrimp po-boys at Guy’s Po-Boys in New Orleans, and today he joins Bon Appétit to show you how to make this iconic sandwich. From Gulf shrimp and corn flour batter to one-day French bread and the traditional “dress” of lettuce, tomato, pickle, and Blue Plate mayo, this is how an authentic New Orleans po-boy sandwich is really made.

Chef Marvin just got a new fan! Just a wonderful attitude
He seems very passionate about his job
We should ban fast food chains in the US
On my way!
I’ll take Guy’s poboy over Domilises any day.
Best thing i saw on the internet in a while
Mad respect for his quality control
When he said come pick up your sandwich its ready , got me looking at flights!
I could watch this guy for hours, he's so entertaining!
I can't wait to get down there and get after one of those po-boy sandwiches
I went to a c-school in Biloxi Mississippi for ten days. First day there I had my first ever shrimp po boy…and ate them breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the rest of my time there.
MSG is the little secret 😛
They get their shrimp frozen in NOLA? Yikes
I have not had a po-boy in years. Thank you!
If we could only swap out those tomatoes for something more American, like bacon.
will be visiting on my next trip down to New orleans!
🍽️I know your blocking God’s word.
That Guy’s surf and turf is a must! Nola poor boys ain’t nothing without the German bakers 💯
My favorite poboy in NO
never wanted a sandwich more in my life.
I trust em.
This is great. I love to cook and I do some Cajun things now like gumbo but not tried these yet. One of my favorite trips ever was to NOLA. I was dating a native, so I got to see the real city, not just the touristy stuff. Thank you Chef.
So, dumb question, why call it a po-boy when it's just a sandwich?
