Today’s the day. ❤️

It’s our last day at Booku Po’Boys!

🗓️ Today • August 1
🕐 Party starts at 1 PM
🕗 Until 8 PM (or until sold out!)

Come celebrate with us one last time. 💜 GoFundMe link in bio. by @its_ray_baby

This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share.

Booku Po’Boys has been more than a restaurant—it has been my dream. After years of construction delays, unexpected setbacks, and mounting debt before we even had the chance to truly get started, we’ve made the heartbreaking decision to close our doors.

I’m not asking for a handout. I’m asking for a chance to recover, honor the commitments I’ve made, and rebuild after giving this dream everything I had.

If Booku Po’Boys has ever served you, supported your family, catered your event, or simply brought a smile to your face, I would be incredibly grateful if you could donate or even just share this with others.

Every share, every donation, and every word of encouragement means more than you know.

Thank you for believing in us. ❤️

😂 I know some of y’all think I invented the Po’Boy…

But let me give credit where it’s due. ⚜️

The Po’Boy was born in New Orleans in 1929, when two brothers fed striking streetcar workers for free. Every time another worker came in, they’d say, “Here comes another poor boy.”

And just like that, a legend was born.

We’re just proud to keep that New Orleans tradition alive every day at Booku Po’Boys. 🥖❤️ by @its_ray_baby

Due to a power outage in our area caused by an Edison transformer issue, we are currently unable to operate.

They are working on restoring power, and we expect to be back up later today.

We’ll keep you posted as soon as we’re back open. Thank you for your patience and support — we appreciate you! by @its_ray_baby

Snow crabs don’t belong in gumbo. Only blue crabs.

Last night was something special.

Thank you to everyone who came out and showed up the way you did. The love, the energy, the support — it meant everything to me and the team. Y’all didn’t just come through… you showed OUT.

We’ve been building. We’ve been scaling. And we’re just getting started.
