I’ve been living in Vancouver for almost 5 months now and every time I see someone from Wellington update their facebook status/tweet about Sweet Mothers I get homesick. All I want is a pulled pork po’ boy, some gumbo and a chocolate shake. Is that too much to ask?
Surely being so close to the States it’s much easier for you to find than us?
A lot of the food from sweet mothers is from the south so is really hard to find up north (unless its at a fast food chain…which then isn’t truly authentic and delicious). Luckily being from Texas, whenever I visit back home we get a good ol’ Texan BBQ more than once!
