Super Taters and More Puts a Spotlight on Potatoes

When you walk into Super Taters and More, the pictures of dishes prepared in the eatery are displayed on the right side wall.

The custom-stuffed potato selection is on the far-left side, and hot sandwiches are featured in the middle. Salads and wraps are located on the right near the entrance door.

Chef-owner Jerry Bobb, 44, wants customers — regulars or new — to get that visual. He believes the old adage that a “picture is worth a thousand words.”

In 2014, Bobb opened Super Taters and More in Scott. Prior to becoming a restaurant owner, he worked in various restaurants in the area.

Starting a restaurant featuring the potato and other goodies was not his immediate plan.

“I had a goal of opening a business. I am an experienced fella. I worked around a lot of different levels of people and have been able to accommodate a wide range of clientele. I wanted to be a businessman, not a restaurant person,” he said.

But, he had a skill that was hard to ignore.

“I can cook. I am a creator. What I figured out is that I can be a restaurant person and have the same level of creativity as an artist or singer. I create delicious food.”

The name of the restaurant lets you know Bobb has an affinity for the tater.

“Hey, a potato is versatile. A lot of people don’t know how versatile it is. I work with it like a canvas,” he said.

Bobb’s grandmother and mother influenced his cooking from the time he was a child living in Charenton, Louisiana.

Everything is made to order at Super Taters and More.

The selection includes a choice that pays homage to one of the region’s most famous creations … gumbo.

Bobb’s Gumbeaux Tater is butter, “roux” with sausage, chicken, shrimp or crawfish that is topped with bacon bits and chives.

Another delicious tater creation is the Philly, consisting of butter, roast beef, brown gravy, onions, bell peppers, mozzarella, chives and bacon.

One sandwich that is sure to get a foodie’s attention is the crawfish melt. Robb describes it as a grown-up grilled cheese with seasoned crawfish, cheddar and mozzarella on wheatberry bread.

“My menu is as unique as the people who buy food from me. For me, it is about being consistent with the flavors and service,” Bobb said. “Being consistent is the most important thing. We have a consistent process, kitchen team and ingredients. We can’t skimp on anything.”
