What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Avery's on Tulane in the "Eating Up New Orleans" episode, which aired March 1, 2019, featuring the restaurant's specialty po-boys, including an Oysters Rockefeller po-boy made with creamed spinach and Parmesan baked into garlic bread. Avery's on Tulane was a seafood restaurant at 2510 Tulane Ave in New Orleans, run by husband-and-wife owners Justin and Christy Pitard since it opened in 2012. According to River Beats New Orleans, on March 22, 2021 the owners announced the restaurant would not reopen, citing pandemic-related declines in patronage following a March 2020 closure and a brief May 2020 reopening that could not sustain the business. A Yelp listing for the restaurant was still marked permanently closed as of an August 2026 update.
