BigStan,
My name is Nadia Bennett and I am a chef at the Lobster Pound. Just to let you know your one of the many who brought to our attention the wish for a baked potato on the menu. To answer your question of "Does it take that much to keep them baked?" the answer is surprisingly a yes. Myself and the kitchen manager had great concerns regarding baked potatoes due to the increased risk of food borne illness when potatoes are wrapped in tin foil and stored that way. Even for a short period of time (1-2 hours) the risk of food borne illness increases dramatically. That was one of the biggest reasons why we did not offer baked potatoes initially. Most people are not aware of this, but it is something to keep in mind when eating out or even preparing baked potatoes at home. However, we have since designed a method for serving baked potatoes that does not require us to store them wrapped in tin foil, and are now able to offer them without any fear or concern for the safety of our patrons. So you can now plan your next visit knowing that you can enjoy your meal with a good ole baked potato!
Grilled potato is still available as well.
