A Little Jazz With That Baked Potato, Please

Nothing gets us so riled up for eating between meals than running across ultra-focused comfort food restaurants that only serve one item. Our disappointment comes as no surprise then, when Totally Baked, Manhattan's only baked potato restaurant, closed its doors after just a few months last year. But we think we know where they went wrong — they overlooked the successful formula of potatoes + sour cream + jazz = success.

This time-honored formula works perfectly at the simply-named The Baked Potato, a spud-hawker cum jazz club in Los Angeles' Studio City. The restaurant features live music seven nights a week and serves up a full 20 varieties of baked potato, from teriyaki chicken to hot dog and sauerkraut. Less adventurous potatoheads can get a basic melted cheese version, but it will still come with a side of hot jazz.

It's even date-friendly! With the inclusion of two salads on the menu, The Baked Potato caters to all diets, but we suspect no one has ever made the mistake of ordering these.
