they no longer have baked potatoes at TGI Friday's? (for some of you who don't know, TGI Friday's is a restraunt).
So it's my DH's birthday on Friday and he picked where he would like to go for dinner. He picks Friday's. Meanwhile I'm having a terrible IBS D day (ovulation cause it for me every month BIG TIME!) I'm thinking Ok, TGI Friday's is a ok place for me to go to, they have baked potatoes. The waiter comes up takes our order and I ask for a plain one and he informs me they don't have them anymore!!!   I looked at him and he must have thought I was nuts when I said Okayyyyy, then I'll have nothing. Yes, I guess I could have gotten some kind of plain grilled chicken but the way I felt I just wanted to pick at a bake potatoe. Uggggghhhh, the horrors we must put up with 
Just thought I'd share this with everyone who eats there.

Lisa, sorry to hear that you were not feeling well. I hope you're doing better today. I had no idea that TGI Friday's got rid of baked potatoes. What is up with that? I wonder of the ones in NY have done the same.
In any event, have a Happy Easter!

I know!!!!!!!!! The nerve of them! Don't they know IBS people depend on them????
Thank you, I am feeling somewhat better. Seems to be lasting a couple days though. Maybe some Easter Ham will cure it?!!
You have a nice Easter too Tommy!

if this doesn't have something to do with all the people on low-carb diets.
What's next? Removing bread? Not everyone wants to eat meat, cheese and bacon!!!!
It still cracks me up to be in a restaurant and hear someone say, "Oh, no, I can't have a potato or bread" ---and then they eat a huge steak, sitting in a pool of butter, and a big salad, topped with thick, fattening dressing!
Who are these people kidding?

I hope they don't do it here- TGIF is one of the places I consider safe... they have potatoes and a pasta in tomato/balsamic sauce wiht chicken breast that is yummy.. and a plain chicken breast if ordered!

Have you checked to see if there is anywhere on their website to leave a comment??? Maybe if enough people complain, they would bring them back. Potatoes are so cheap, it wouldn't kill them to keep them on their menu.

Well I believe they replaced the baked potatoe with some kind of mashed potatoes with funky stuff in them. Scalions and stuff so I wouldn't be able to eat them either!
BL you are so right though about the carbs and then people eating a huge steak and having a pina colada or margarietta>
defeats the whole purpose!
I'm still in shock about it. Hello? Don't you use potatoes to make mashed potatoes? What's the big deal with just putting a whole potatoe in the microwave????? Or maybe, just maybe they are using "instant mashed potatoes for that item on their menu??? hmmmmmmm  I'm actually going there again on Friday with my girlfriends.(glutten for punishment I guess) I'm just gonna have to speak my mind won't I?  Hopefully though that night I'll be able to eat a Turkey Club which is usally a safe item for me (minus the lettuce) 
I'll fill ya all in!
