Justin Kennedy, General Manager and Head Chef of Parkway Bakery & Tavern is delighted to renew this partnership and welcome Crystal Hot Sauce to the Parkway Thanksgiving team. Kennedy said, “Supporting one another is a hallmark of New Orleans, and we extend a warm invitation to all to enjoy this special time of the year. The #IDidItForTheTurkey campaign champions a truly vital cause and is now bigger and better thanks to support from our friends at Crystal Hot Sauce."

Established in 2008, The Al Copeland Foundation's mission has been dedicated to saving lives and ending cancer. Their goal, through education and screening, is to offer prevention as the first line of defense. When a cancer diagnosis is made, we are providing greater access to groundbreaking and lifesaving clinical trials.

Al Copeland Jr., president of the Al Copeland Foundation said, “I am deeply grateful for Justin making the Al Copeland Foundation a part of this one-of-a-kind Thanksgiving Poor Boy tradition. When it comes to crafting exceptional poor boys no one does it quite like Parkway Bakery and Tavern."

Parkway is also offering a “Skip the Line” ticket which allows you to not only indulge in their Thanksgiving Poor Boy, but also includes a commemorative t-shirt, sweet potato fries, fresh-made lemonade and a pumpkin spice ice cream sandwich by New Orleans Ice Cream. Tickets can be purchased AlCopelandFoundation.org or in person at Parkway Bakery & Tavern every Wednesday.
