After moving to New Orleans and working in fine dining he opened Turkey and the Wolf, which featured his larger-than-life interpretations of down-home dishes and created a nationwide sensation. In Turkey and the Wolf, Hereford shares lively twists on beloved Southern dishes, like potato chip-loaded fried bologna sandwiches, deviled-egg tostadas with salsa macha, and his mom's burnt tomato casserole.

Welcome to the Turkey and the Wolf universethe family, friends, food, and fun that make Mason Herefords restaurants so special. Im as delighted by the photography and stories as I am to see all the recipes for the food Ive enjoyed eating over the years.Nina Compton

Southern food gets a kick in the pants in this exuberant and irreverent debut, a collection of high/low recipes from Hereford, whose buzzy New Orleans restaurant gives the book its title. . . . The recipes are blazing and the tone delightfully profane, making this perfect for anyone ready to check their pretensions and get a little messy.Publishers Weekly (starred review)
