"James Beard Award nominee Mason Hereford’s sandwich-focused spot, crowned America’s Best New Restaurant in 2017, known for an offbeat roster that includes double-decker collard green sandwiches and chicken pot pie–stuffed empanadas with tarragon buttermilk." - Janna Karel
"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 most delicious 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
"The buzz generated by Mason Hereford’s inventive twists on childhood favorites at Turkey and the Wolf has yet to wear off, and 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." - Beth D’Addono
"A restaurant led by Mason Hereford, a semifinalist in the Outstanding Restaurateur category." - Clair Lorell
"Thanks to the kooky and creative minds behind this nationally renowned sandwich shop, Turkey and the Wolf is well-known for its merch, including its signature corduroy hats, Mardi Gras socks, and some extremely fly basketball shorts. Gift the 4/20-lover in your life this high-quality grinder with classic Turkey and the Wolf branding; it’s the gift that keeps on giving." - Clair Lorell
