    The above-mentioned info is incorrect, I worked for Virgil Whitmore the original founder of Whitmore's BBQ in the year of 1980. At that time when he first came back from Hawaii I was so fascinated by the polishboys how filling and tasty it was, So I asked him where did the idea for this sandwich come from, he said the concept came from the basic ingredients he had in his restaurant which were beef Polish sausage, French fries, claw slaw, bbq sauce and hot dog buns. And the reason he came up with this sandwich was because the area in which he opened up his business was a poor area and couldn't afford to pay top dollar for carried out food so his daily special was four polishboys for a dollar for which you can feed your whole family.
