Sweet Potato Tots: Tasty Trend or Menu Mistake?

SONIC put the tots on its menu.

  The quick-serve restaurant SONIC has added Sweet Potato Tots on its menu for a limited time. Does this sound like a good idea? Or are you a purist only wanting your tots made from white potatoes. According to data from the USDA Economic Research Service, U.S. per capita consumption of sweet potatoes has been on the rise, even as white potato consumption has slowed. “Everyone is talking about sweet potatoes as a trend but few are putting unique offerings on their menus,” said Clas Petersson, SONIC's vice president of product & packaging. So cast your vote in this little survey. And when you've tasted those tots, come back and tell us what you think of them.

Restaurant staff say they are offering silky smooth “traditional” Japanese Sakes, not the newer, fruit-flavored styles. RA Sushi is in the 1000 block…
