Home hibernation is now in high season, giving us a major excuse to load up on carbs to keep warm.
Instead of nibbling on bread and pastry, we’re turning to Mr. Kumpir, the wildly popular franchise from Turkey known for its loaded baked potatoes.
Each hot russet potato ($4) comes with butter, cheese and a choice of three toppings. And no, don’t think chives, sour cream and bacon bits - think mushrooms, peppers, sausages, hummus, corn, beans, eggplant and a host of tasty sauces. Plus, additional toppings only cost an extra fifty cents.
We’ll just deal with our extra layer of insulation come spring.
