 BY ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana business editor Few Acadiana restaurants are as steeped in local lore as Poor Boy's Riverside Inn, located in Broussard just off of U.S. 90. It's thought to be the oldest restaurant in Lafayette Parish, opened by Hulo "Poor Boy" Landry in 1932 in downtown Lafayette. He started the eatery as a sno-ball stand, selling icy treats to local businessmen — and quickly began doing a brisk business proffering the po-boys that he packed every day as his own lunch.
