How to Skip the Line For Parkway’s Cult Classic Thanksgiving Poboy

NEWS — Parkway Poboys, which serves a limited time and much coveted Thanksgiving poboy on Wednesdays in November, has released a brilliant plan to allow some diners to skip the line. A $100 contribution to the Al Copeland Foundation scores you the Thanksgiving po-boy, fries, a soft drink or a pint of Abita 30 by 90 beer, a T-shirt that says #IDidItForTheTurkey, and the privilege to skip the line (which stretches down the block).
