Potato Week: Where We’re At


So here we are–three days into Foobooz Potato Week, and what do we have to show for it?

Plenty. Who has the best poutine in town? We’ve told you. Same with the best places to score the best sweet potato fries. Speaking of sweet potatoes, we’ve discussed whether or not they even qualify as potatoes (culinarily, not taxonomically) and the vote came out overwhelmingly (80-20) in favor of allowing the sweet potato into the pantheon of potato-y greatness, and then told you all the best places to eat sweet potatoes (with a special mention for the sweet potato pâté with grain mustard, jerk cashews and brown bread at Vedge which, seriously, might be one of the single best vegetable dishes I have ever eaten).

Want to know where to get crab fries with actual crab on them? We let you know. What about somewhere to get potato pizza? Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. We’ve talked about the crab, corn and potato hash at Devil’s Alley, the Disco Fries at Pub & Kitchen, the guinnea hen leg bolognese over fries at Alla Spina and, really, we’re just getting started. There’s two days left in Potato Week, all counting down to Friday’s list of the Best French Fries in Philadelphia, so we’ve only just begun.

Stay hungry, my friends.
