"Ending the day with a savory memory that still has us drooling! 😋🥪 OTB's Catfish Po' Boy, a tribute to the unforgettable flavors of New Orleans from that epic girls' trip. Who knew a sandwich could be so divine? 🐟🥖 It was love at first bite, and I just had to share that culinary magic with you all. This was one of the first items I added to Outside The Box Catering and Events Inc. catering menu."
