Word on the street is Eddie V’s got themselves an $80 double-baked potato… with caviar, no less. Now, I don’t know about you, but 80 bucks for a spud sounds like someone’s pullin’ a fast one. But hey, we’re curious enough to roll in there tonight and see if this fancy potato’s worth the dough.
So we finally made it to Eddie V’s tonight, and yeah, they still got that notorious $80 spud sittin’ on the menu under “accompaniments.” We ordered a spread fit for any made man, but let’s be real—we was all waitin’ for that potato to show up. Plates start floodin’ the table, one after anothah, till there’s no room left. I’m lookin’ around, askin’, “Where’s the freakin’ potato?” And there it is… sittin’ on the edge of the table like it’s ashamed to show its face.
Let me tell ya, I’ve nevah felt more let down in my life. Three potato ends—yeah, just the ends—all scooped out, mashed up, plopped back in, then topped with a bit of caviar and a single waffle chip for “presentation.” Eighty bucks for this? I felt like I got fleeced, like they saw me comin’ from a mile away. Outta three, only one even got touched; the rest, we told ‘em to haul away. We ordered it so you don’t have to.
Matter of fact, you won’t even see a picture of this thing on Yelp, ‘cause no one’s that nuts to try it… except us. So here’s the scoop—the $80 spud? Total fugazi.
