    Hugh Stiel Made in New Orleans

    I'm a Sandwich maker turned Hotel Manager/Housekeeper. On Friday I passed my company of 30 years on to two young bucks , Trevis and Jeffery and an old friend in Dallas, Roger.Dalton and his son. (I need a solid introduction to Dallas). Roger is solid , the real thing.
    So at 30 yrs Old I happened to meet Fred Deluca who had been building a sandwich chain for 20 years and I think they had 400 to 500 open. A deal was made for me to open stores in S.Mississippi, Louisiana and SETexas. Net worth -100,000 and every relative, friend and stranger called me nuts.
    People eat P0boys down here. Not Subway Sandwiches.
    About 15 years later the New York Times wrote, " I had killed the poboy South Of I 10.

    My late mother was a sharp investor in the stock market. One thing she always said "invest in food stocks. No matter what, people will always eat."

    Didn't get her a job at Goldman Sachs, but she sure made a lot off that philosophy.
