Dropped Potato


That ouch isn’t from the hot potatoes but rather from the scathing review in Philadelphia Weekly. Hot Potato Cafe is called “atrocious” and told they need to try harder. Ouch indeed.

Dinner is such a disaster that the thought of lunch a few days later is unsettling. I bring a co-worker for comfort, and together we share a crab dip served in the same style as the odd buffalo chicken. Co-worker describes it as “crab snot,” but it’s passable nonetheless, and my fears begin to ease.

Still, ordering anything that requires much know-how is something I’m unable to bring myself to.
