Mason Hereford Biography – Mason Hereford Wiki
Mason Hereford is an American chef and restauranteur. He debuted the best Duke’s tattoo we’ve ever seen: Winnie the Pooh guzzling a jar of Duke’s Mayonnaise in place of his usual jar of honey. Bon Appétit Magazine named his sandwich shop, Turkey and the Wolf, America’s Best New Restaurant of 2017. Menu highlights include Mason’s fried bologna sandwich and collard green melt. His love of food–specifically sandwiches_continued to grow. At a young age, he proclaimed he would, in fact, open his own sandwich shop one day. He worked at bars through college and got a taste of the service industry. It was then that he developed a passion for cooking professionally. He is a challenger chef in Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend which premieres on Netflix on June 15, 2022.
He worked in restaurants around the country, including San Francisco and Charleston, before moving back to New Orleans in 2008. He became the chef de cuisine at Coquette and at Sweet Olive, which has since closed. He opened a sandwich shop, Turkey and the Wolf in the Irish Channel in 2016, which Bon Appétit Magazine named America’s Best New Restaurant a year later. The most famous dish on the menu is a fried bologna sandwich.
The chef opened his second restaurant, Molly’s Rise and Shine, in 2019. This restaurant is a playful breakfast spot that serves American classics with a twist, such as the Grand Slam McMuffin and Sweet Potato Burrito. Both of his restaurants are casual with a retro flare. It is clear that Hereford believes cooking and dining should be fun and creative.
