Chugrad McAndrews Photography – San Francisco Food, Advertising and Catalog Photography

I was hired by the owners of a great new restaurant called Hot Spud, to make some photos of their food and restaurant.

Their concept, while popular in Europe, is not very common in the U.S. It’s a baked potato “Gourmet Fast Food” place where they start with a HUGE baked potato, cut it open and add butter and cheese to the insides, then offer specialized menu selections with special sauces over things like steak, shrimp, crab, chicken and bacon, coupled with a variety of veggies. Or, the customer can select whatever they want from the fresh and extensive salad bar and have that put on the potato… for that matter, a customer could leave out the potato altogether and just eat from the salad bar. The result is a very filling, and quite delicious full meal.

One of the things that makes Hot Spud unique is the spectacular architecture. I made a few extra shots specifically for the architects, Martinkovic Milford Architecture.
