Scene: Excellent potatoes at Spudz

Now that Nashville Scene restaurant critic Carrington Fox has written a mostly positive review of Spudz, Inc., at 5908 B Charlotte Ave., describing in great detail its menu and atmosphere, I will have to stop making jokes about Spudz for billing itself your "one-stop potato shop."

While driving on Charlotte Avenue past the store, I would marvel that such a business could stay afloat selling almost exclusively one product: potatoes. And the hilarious part (only to me, I'm sure) was the idea that anyone would need a one-stop potato shop.

Here's one of my brilliant jokes: "Thank goodness for Spudz! Finally, I don't have to go shopping all over town for my various potato needs. I'm so tired of going to one store for for red potatoes, another for sweet potatoes and yet another for Yukon Gold."

My jokes clearly stemmed from ignorance. But thanks to Fox's review, I have a better picture of what Spudz is all about, and I can't wait to check it out. I think I'll start with the Philly cheese steak spudz. Thankfully, if I decide I also want to try the Buffalo chicken spudz, I can get it in one stop.
