I don't know if this is a Midwestern thing or not, but the potato bar was always a time-honored tradition when I was coming up out there

Just bake up a whole mess of baked potatoes and then serve them with a lot of different fixin's

Always good eating

Yeah, that does sound awesome. I wanna go to a supper club with one.

I know isn't it?

Especially when taco stuff was an option

Taco stuff being beans, salsa and generic taco meat (which I never touched, since it smelled like sloppy joes)

don't have to hand it to em but wendy's got the right idea with a chili baked potato

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

True

Homemade chili is still the way to go though

Wendy's chili is too thin

the potato bar

I totally forgot about that. I haven't had that in decades. I did some googling. At reddit I found this potato bar mystery...

Potato bars are so rare here (also Midwest). They happen, but super uncommon.

Probably less uncommon than the rest of the US, tho.. since the food all comes from here 😅
