Mother's Restaurant, New Orleans

by Tara

Have you ever had the World's Best Ham? You're missing out. I had some the other day.*

At The Blathering I went on a "ham date" with some lovely ladies to Mother's Restaurant, a delightfully hole-in-the-wall restaurant on Restaurant Row in New Orleans, LA.

I ordered the Famous Ferdi Special because it is famous. And also because I wasn't sure what debris was and I was feeling adventurous (it's the stuff that falls off the meat while it's roasting). So I had a Po' Boy sandwich of the World's Best Ham, plus roast beef, debris, and gravy. The bread had creole and yellow mustard, and I added tabasco. So good. SO good. (I got the 2/3 size and couldn't finish it.)

Then I also ordered some fries and it was a huge order and I barely ate any because my sandwich was so good. They were also good, though!

I didn't try the World's Best Bloody Mary, but Maura said that it was, indeed, very good.

Photos by me. Of delicious food. Right before I inhaled it.
