"You got to take care of your people, because without them you got nothing." .... True leadership.

the passion this guy has... is incredible

[antilleangrackle]

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.

Guy has that southern charm and is passionate, a real experienced GM out there hosting a show while actually helping the back of house.

Employee carpool by the bossman himself is wild respect

“She come in looking for me, I knew she was looking for more than roast beef.” my dude had me dying 😂

[alhassant]

The dude is a legend. The fact he picks up the OG everyday is just beautiful.

[oo_oo_oo]

Give this guy his own tv show, I could watch him all day long

[nickbezmaterny]

As a restaurant person for over 20 years now working for somebody like this makes a huge difference. Great stuff!

[Fireflyepic]

This is the type of person we should all strive to be. He's got such a great, infectious demeanor

[Drek]

When he said they measure the shrimp by hand when they add the shrimp to the sandwich, I totally understand why Zion can not lose weight lol

[OnThaMove]

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.

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!

[michellemeyer]

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.

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.
