Poboy of the Month @Jed’s Local

I had to have this because to me it is an unsung homage to the Magnolia Special at the Magnolia Cafe in St. Francisville. That one is also turkey and Swiss, but with actual guacamole to go with the alfalfa sprouts. Guac and sprouts and cheese is a powerful topping for damn near anything. Sharp cheddar, guac, and sprouts was the hamburger setup for the Austin Special at Mad Dog and Beans in Austin. That was quite some time ago. I do the Austin Special as a slider every now and then. Good eats. The big advantage to having this one at Jed’s is the opportunity to get a side of their incredible wings to go with. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to walk in the door at Jed’s again and resist the wings, so I just have to resign myself to getting a go box if I want to have anything else there along with the wings. Not whining, not complaining, we all fall prey to a favorite here or there that blocks access to the rest of the menu. Jed’s does good poboys though, so maybe it’s not a bad idea to bring a friend who wouldn’t mind splitting an order of wings instead of adding fries.
