…during Chef Ange’s university days in Edinburgh, Scotland. Though she made ends meet working at a Chinese take away, her favorite fast food joints were the loaded jacket potato bars in town that offered fun, stomach-filling meals at prices a university student could afford. Decades later, after establishing herself with the Malaysian bar/restaurant/kopitiam Kampar, Ange brings her favorite UK comfort food to Philly with Mod Spuds. Mod in that these are updated takes on the traditional jacket potato with toppings inspired by global tastes, including both of her home towns of Kuala Lumpur and Philadelphia. Referencing the positivity and forward-looking ethos of Mod culture as a guiding aesthetic, Mod Spuds offers the same high-quality jacket Ange discovered in the UK for the contemporary diner here in Philly.
