Turkey and the Wolf

"The buzz generated by Mason Hereford’s inventive twists on childhood favorites at Turkey and the Wolf has yet to wear off, but for good reason — the sandwiches and specials that won so much acclaim upon the restaurant’s Lower Garden District debut continue to surprise, satisfy, and delight. While it was the bologna sandwich that first caught on nationwide, the collard green melt and smoked ham sandwiches are just as notable. Don’t miss the frozen margarita." - Clair Lorell

"This nationally acclaimed sandwich spot in the LGD might be New Orleans’s best lunch destination to open in the past decade. Distinctive eats like hogshead cheese tacos, a fried bologna sandwich, specials, and perhaps best of all, the collard green melt — slow-cooked collards, Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and cherry pepper dressing served hot on rye — make this an essential lunch visit for locals and tourists alike. Just be prepared for a line, and try the Mountain Dew-tinged frozen margarita if it’s that kind of day." - Eater Staff

"Turkey & The Wolf has received more national attention than any other restaurant in New Orleans over the last couple of years. Which makes sense, since their wild sandwiches are all truly excellent. But while it’s no longer the newest kid on the block (they’ve since opened a breakfast spot called Molly’s Rise And Shine, a gastropub called Hungry Eyes, and a meat-and-three called Hot Stuff), this is still one of the best casual, comfort food spots around. Everything is nostalgic in the best way possible, but their collard green melt might just be the best thing on the menu. It’s served as a double-decker on rye with enough melted swiss cheese and pickled cherry pepper dressing to keep you thinking about it long after you’ve left." - chelsea brasted, zella palmer, carlo mantuano, megan braden perry

"Mason Hereford created national buzz when he opened his sly sandwich shop Turkey and the Wolf a few years back, and with good reason. While the fried bologna is probably its best known — it’s layered with potato chips and hot mustard on toast — the vegetarian (but not vegan) collard green melt with pickled cherry pepper dressing, Swiss cheese, and coleslaw is phenomenal. For something more classic, the smoked ham with cranberry sauce, herb mayo, and aged cheddar is incredible every time." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
