When it comes to the chives/green onions debate, Jason's Deli's online ordering system really isn't helping any.



I suppose they don't want to take sides. ;)

P.S. The fully-loaded large potato is on the order of 2400 calories. Just in case you were tempted. And it comes with the green parts of green onions.

I'm not going to take anybody as a chive authority who serves "Buttery Blend".

That's a lot of large (baked?) potato! It sounds delicious, though.

What, you don't want more butter-flavored soy oil product in your life?

[telophase]

It is a guilty pleasure of mine. At least I got all the toppings on the side and didn't eat the whole thing!

I am just about to rise and make a Paul Prudhomme-based meal for my husband's birthday. Pray for all our arteries.

Food for the soul!

How big are these potatoes? (How do you even get 2400 calories into a potato? Fry it first?)

[mme_hardy]

Absolutely. In the event, this recipe is positively abstemious: 2 T of butter for about a quart of sauce. Stock's ready, sauce is ready, tomorrow all I have to do is make the rice with the remaining stock, reheat the sauce, heat the shelled shrimp in it, and serve. Although I'm contemplating making hushpuppies...

They are LARGER THAN YOUR HEAD. Or at least seem that way. One-half of the potato plus some toppings is an entire comfort-food meal for me.

They do fill up the plastic container they come in when you order them to go, and I think the container is over 8" long.

You get the 2400 calories by adding a scoop that is 3-4 Tb of Buttery Topping, 3-4 Tb of sour cream, 3/4-1 cup shredded cheese, 3-4 Tb bacon bits and then nodding to health by sprinkling green onions chives on top.

This would be why you ask for the toppings on the side, so you can eat a much more reasonable amount of each and use your own butter.

Toby would recommend hushpuppies, but he loves them and ends up eating mine because I don't care that much about them, and usually use that space in my stomach for other things. :)
