Do not let this guys easy demeanor fool you. Running an operation this size with their care & quality is incredibly difficult. Awesome seeing this passion, truly inspiring. Hope to have one of these sandwiches one day.
His easy demeanor isn't fooling me. He's at the top of his game and is confident enough to make it easy. Would love to taste his Jambalaya vs. Stalecracker's.
@@GregoryLevas this is humbly my opinion but i can feel like he genuinely love what he do. For example, he didn't use the weight system for his food, he just wrapped em all out. He cares about his customers well fed more than losing a bit of money in doing that. The way he talked, introducing his worker ,even bringing one of them to the shop himself because he has a sickness. Sorry English is not my first language. And it's okay if you didn't like him. Purely my opinion, after all.
@@GregoryLevasidk I didn’t feel him either. He def has a passion for his company but I felt like he was putting on a facade for the cameras. I could be way off base but I want know how he really acts around people. Something just seems fake about him.
@@yankeesforlife24agreed. You could tell when he’d put on an accent especially for the delivery guy at the start and that dude was wondering wtf was going on lol.
We stopped by here on our last trip to NOLA, and this guy is truly a genius, gentleman and is exactly what you see in this video. And the food and crew are all amazing.
It's quite literally the difference between staying, loving what you do and leaving because restaurants can be toxic without proper leadership and teamwork 👌
@mattw4496 he is one of those dudes who if he worked at a mcdonalds you wouldn't give him a second look but his charisma gives him that BDE for the ladies.
Now THIS was time well spent. I am a little envious of your employees that look to be part of a valued team doing a fast paced, delicious job. For me, this is a dream job.
There are so many places to get great po-boys in New Orleans, but I must say, Parkway's Surf & Turf (fried shrimp with roast beef debris and gravy) is in the upper echelon. 15 napkins minimum.
WOW! They have a whole state of the art process behind preparing some Roast Beef. Like down to a science. I respect his love and commitment to his business, his family and employees and his city.
Worst thing could have happened to a kid who already had weight issues getting drafted to a foodie city. If he was in Utah or something he would be 180lb 😂😂😂😂😂
This is the very best video I’ve ever watched on you tube. Talk about a dedicated shop owner looking out for his suppliers and his employees. The very best!
This guy is the real deal. When I lived in New Orleans I would go here or Domelise's - my two favorite po boy places. Every time I went to parkway I would always see him behind the bar or running around the restaurant. He is clearly super involved in making sure this place stays successful. Their surf and turf po boy is hands down the best sandwich iv ever had.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
I always get the roast beef po-boy. I understand people that get the fried oyster or shrimp, but the roast beef is just the most sublime mess ever created.
Just want you all too know... I've been cooking in restaurants for 20+ years. ....this dude Justin is the real deal. He gets it. He cares,...I can sense it. I will 100000% find where he's cooking if I go to L.A orleans.
So living in New Orleans, this is my favorite po'boy place to go to! Especially for the streetcar poboy!!!! Thank you Bon Appetit for making this video and highlighting the behind the scenes of my favorite place!!
This guy and his team are awesome! You can tell he's passionate about the food. That's what it takes to be around that town for as long as that place has been around. There's a lot of competition for restaurants in that town. Lots of great food, and lots of just ok food. This place gets that it's the people and the relationships that make it stand out.
Love seeing the behind the scenes for my favorite poboy spot in Nola! Olde Tyme Grocery is considered one of the best poboys in Laffayette and Parkway is deff considered one of the best in New Orleans. Such an interesting story for those two to get together.
We just went here to eat for the first time today. We are in New Orleans for a conference. This place is the real deal. I had a small shrimp poboy. I've never had a shrimp dinner with so much shrimp. Amazing.
Watching this RUclips channel has reignited my love for cooking! The creative recipe ideas and helpful cooking tips have inspired me to get back in the kitchen and try new things.
When I travel to New Orleans, I always have a poor boy, no such thing as a bad poor boy, doesn’t matter, catfish, shrimp, oysters, no wrong here. The bread is truly key in the delicious poor boy .
What a fantastic video! Who knew that so much went into a po-boy sandwich? There's nothing simple about it - that roast beef po-boy actually started TWO DAYS ago! After seeing this behind-the-scenes video, I'm going to appreciate my next Parkway sandwich all the more!
Very rare to find someone with this kind of professionalism and mastery of their craft. Without question going to have to make a pilgrimage to this establishment next time I get a chance.
Wow. This is unquestionably the best setup and management of a very complex food service operation I’ve ever seen. That the food is incredible to boot is all the more impressive. Bravo. Definitely on my visit list.
I ate at your establishment back in 2018 it was one of the best sandwiches I ever put in my mouth. The roast beef is hands-down second to none and the jambalaya I took with me back to the hotel and ate it after a night of drinking on Bourbon Street. Lol it was amazing too.
Been here plenty of times even ate one and got one to go for the plane never considered how much goes into getting the food in your hands truly a blessing when your there it’s fast and looks effortless ❤
Respect for this guy! Not only for how hard he works, but he doesn’t knock the competition! He talked about how the Vietnamese influence with their banh minh sandwiches have grown in NOLA!
65 years ago(I am 77 now)my family went to New Orleans. I loved the Po'boy and I think it was the oyster loaf not sure. The place was a few blocks behind canal street called George's I think. A little place but recommended by locals. My dream is to come to New Orleans, see the French Quarters again, and have Po' Boys. I will definitely come to eat at your place. I live in Southern Virginia now.
New Orleans inhabitants are so chilled I admire them. The two Martin brothers, Ben and Clovis, streetcar/tram employees, invented the poor boy sandwich in the 1920s.
12:20 is my favourite part of this video. A rustic hand made sandwich is how it should be done. Deep filled and who cares if there’s 5 shrimp more or less than the last sandwich.
"You got to take care of your people, because without them you got nothing." .... True leadership.

Very entertaining to watch & listen to his day biss tour guys.... 🎉🎉 Tumbs up for this vdo

Nah. Dude's slightly hamming it up, but that's him.
Employee carpool by the bossman himself is wild respect
Same thing I was thinking
the passion this guy has... is incredible

I need to make a trip to New Orleans, the passion this guy has for his sandwiches and his business is heartwarming
Put that on a cracker, DUDE!
Absolutely worth it. I was in NOLA 8 years ago and I still sometimes think about the Po Boys I ate there.
Ya dude, some excellent food down there.
i just said the same thing.
gotta love an owner talking enthusiastically about his business for 20 minutes with basically zero stupid corporate buzzwords
“She come in looking for me, I knew she was looking for more than roast beef.” my dude had me dying 😂
That cracked me up too 😂
When was that said? I didn't hear that. What was he referencing?
@@sabrinashelton1997 at the very end. theres a segment where he talks about his wife after the BA logo is shown.
Oh! Cute. I guess I didn't watch till the end. Thank you!@@batman113100
He wanted her roast beef
This is the type of person we should all strive to be. He's got such a great, infectious demeanor
Well Justin is a complete legend, he was wonderful to watch. A hard working, caring and charismatic manager.

Loved how Justin weighed the sandwich and never skimped on anything. He just wants to make people happy... can't wait to go here one day!
This guy seems like one of the most down to earth, nicest and genuine people and it definitely resonates.Nothing but respect.
" I donated a kidney to my brother" you have my respect sir
This Guy is the definition of a Leader, He gave his own brother his Kidney that says it all, I hope he gets more successful
Give this guy his own tv show, I could watch him all day long
I know, he's just so hot! 😍

I’ve seen this guy on other food shows and he never disappoints with his passion. He truly loves what he does and his love for NOLA. He loves his job.
Real southern hospitality. I love New Orleans.
The lad is the living embodiment of a positive manager. Could listen and learn all day!
The owner is a champion shop owner and operator ,takes pride in his food ,staff ,customers . No wonder his business shines.
I worked for the Red Cross in New Orleans during Katrina Rita and the Po-Boy spots stayed open. True soul of the city. ❤
His passion for what he does is so evident.... I love watching people like him.

I'm diggin this managers leadership style you can tell he knows wtf he doing and that he's super passionate about it.
Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. The third is to be kind.
This is the most articulate and passionate owner I have ever seen! He is so knowledgeable and involved

When I go to New Orleans I'll get a small of each
Personally didnt care for the roast beef. The shrimp was better imo.
And a RB, dressed, isn’t worth it unless it drips down your arm!!! YUM!

Justin’s passion and heart are evident and infectious! My friends and I are definitely going to his restaurants when we go to New Orleans! Thank you!
Chicago has the Italian beef, Philly has the cheese steak, New York the chopped cheese, and New Orleans the po'boy. Gotta love America 🤘🏼
And the Cuban down in Tampa. All the best sandwiches are East of the Mississippi!
@@somyung1991where’s the best Cuban in Tampa?
this place is brilliant, the guys is awesome. you can tell he aint BS, his staff must love him. Great episode!
We just went here to eat for the first time today. We are in New Orleans for a conference. This place is the real deal. I had a small shrimp poboy. I've never had a shrimp dinner with so much shrimp. Amazing.
Lived and worked in NOLA in kitchens. So much great food and Parkway has #1 poboys . Like the drive-up. Thats is a brilliant move.
The kinda boss/manager most places need but never get. Respect.
This dude needs his own show for real! How engaging, love the roast beef line 🤣🤣
What a guy - a proper manager who knows the business inside out and has worked his way up. I bet his employees love him.
Watching this RUclips channel has reignited my love for cooking! The creative recipe ideas and helpful cooking tips have inspired me to get back in the kitchen and try new things.
Seems like a great boss who really understands servant leadship.
you would never find a place like this in Germany, sad! makes me wanna fly over to the US just to have a taste.
Rarely does one ever see such a flame of passion, energy and love. Keep at it, Justin and Parkway Team! 💪
Hats off for this guy donating his Kidney and not bragging about it ❤

This guy is so enthusiastic about his job which everything it takes to be a leader. Great video
If I ever go to New Orleans, this made the list of must-stop. Genuine, well-organized, and looks super tasty!
I visited NOLA a few years ago and ate here. I STILL dream about their poboys. Absolutely delicious
This is strength through empathy.
What an amazing business and a true example of people caring for other people....I wish them the best!!!
Very caring dude; also a great manager and passionate cook.
I swear this dude made me want to try there food great attitude and love how he takes care of his folks

I ate my first po'boy here this year-- shrimp and oyster. It very well could be the best sandwich I've ever had.
I tried this last time I was in NOLA. Hands down the best.
Well this guy’s awesome. What a great atmosphere and establishment to be a part of. Starving now
I grew up eating roast beef po' boys in southern Louisiana. Now I make them for my family and it's always a hit.
This is somebody who deserves to be highlighted. He is passions about everything that happens in his kitchen not to mention he is hilarious!!😂
Mr. Kennedy's Heart has always been devoted & steadfast to His business, Poor Boys Sandwiches, quite impressive and inspiring...😎
Gotta respect a boss that has done every job in the kitchen and still remembers what it was like being a line cook or expo.
