Meet the Ferdi! It’s named after Ferdinand Stern, a local patron who inspired the sandwich when he asked for something custom, this po’boy is packed with good eats.

Mother’s has a special way to dress these savory sandwiches, including pickles, mayo, mustard, and fresh shredded cabbage for a great crunch.
