Sandwich lovers, this one’s for you. Sure, New Orleans is known for po’boys, but let’s take a moment to appreciate where it all began: the sandwich. For some reason, sandwiches just taste better when someone else makes them. There’s one place in New Orleans that’s serving up some of the best sandwiches in town, and that’s the Turkey and the Wolf. Come hungry, these aren’t your average sandwiches!

Tucked away on Jackson Avenue in the Irish Channel, Turkey and the Wolf has been a local hotspot since it opened in 2016.
