A local merchant and regular Mother’s patron, Mr Ferdi, probably had nothing more than a meaty sandwich in mind when he asked that some ham be added to his roast beef po’boy. But the word went around, and the combo was soon a major hit.

Slice the French bread or po'boy rolls in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through.

Prepare the Bread

Spread mayonnaise on one side of the bread and Dijon mustard on the other side.

Add Condiments

Place the sliced roast beef on one side and the sliced ham on the other side.

Layer the Meats

Layer the shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and pickles on top of the meats.

Add Vegetables

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Season

Carefully close the sandwich and press down gently to hold all ingredients together.

Close the Sandwich

Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately.
