I read your article on a Filipino famly in Jefferson and Placamine parishes. Do you have more information about them?
Can you be more specific? I’ve written articles about dozens families…
hello mr. Ho,i saw you on fox 8 recently talking about chinatown in new orleans.i have a couple of stories of old chinatown that came to me from my grandfather that you may find interesting.history holds that the martin brothers created the first po-boy during the streetcar conductors strike of 1929;however,my grandfather,born in 1899 near tulane at poydras and galvez insisted that the chinese were making poor boys in chinatown preceding world war1 and indeed were calling it a poor-boy, the first in neworleans.
i know it,s just anecdotal now and here say, but he had an amazing memory so
perhaps it could be researched.my uncle remembered as a child buying a certain candy in chinatown and when you poped it in your mouth it simultaneously tasted sweet,sour,and salty.after his death my dad told me it was called chinese fruitcake;and one more concerning culinary chinatown was a dish of lima beans cooked new orleans style and served over macaroni,it was called “short and mac”and he cooked it for us many times.i hope this helps you in your research of chinatown.
