The richest sandwich in America
Magazine Bon Appetit has chosen it best restaurant in america . However, what is your secret?
To understand this recognition, we must go back to December 23, 2013. That day, Mason Hereford shared on Instagram a photo of a turkey sandwich with mayonnaise, cheddar cheese and lettuce . A replica of the hundreds Hereford devoured on his way out of class at a deli in his Charlottesville native.
In 2016 the chef from Virginia opened Turkey and the Wolf , a tiny place with a rogue air and a clientele that loves it alike tattoos, skateboards and fast food.
The menu is short and without frills: six types of sandwich starting at $8, salads with ingredients like pork ear rinds, some cocktails and five desserts. Mason claims that this unique tribute to the snack of his childhood It requires a lot of love and respect for his humble inspiration.
Although Turkey and Wolf does not aspire to become a star restaurant, its owner plays with a key factor: the nostalgic. He turns the traditional sandwich into a cult object served on vintage Disney plastic plates, on tables here and there and spiced up with 80's rock and roll. Bravo.
