re: Avery's Po-boys on Tulane

Availed myself of Avery's parking lot yesterday...sampled the seafood gumbo, chicken/andouille gumbo, onion rings, and fried potato salad. Both gumbos were tasty, with good depth of flavor (and my seafood bowl included shrimp, a couple of little oysters, and a crab claw). Tempura battered onion rings were a disappointment--soggy, with a "steamed" texture rather than any deeper flavor or crisping. They went soggy within seconds of landing on our table.

Sleeper hit was the fried potato salad. It reminded me of a Cuban style ham croqueta, and my cajun self has a marked preference for warm potato salad. My dining companion thought it was gross, though...

Will go back and try some poboys next time.
