Mother's Description:
Fifty years after opening, the daily queue at Mother's sandwich counter is as long as ever. If it occasionally includes a cardiologist conventioneer or two, we're not about to tattle. For many tourists and convention-goers, Mother's is the quintessential source of po' boy sandwiches, jambalaya, gumbo and hefty breakfasts with a side of home-style biscuits. Locals are more likely to loudly debate its merit, especially those who remember Mother's in its true glory days several decades ago. Back then, the eggs and grits were never cold, as they sometimes are these days. Still, few would challenge the goodness of today's po' boys made with beef and ham cooked on the premises and laden with shredded cabbage and, in the case of the roast beef, the meat shreds and pan drippings known as debris. The chicken gumbo is a winner, as well. As for the methodology of getting served, order somehow triumphs over chaos, and everyone finds a seat, even if it's just a stool at the shallow counter along the wall.
