7 Questions with Emmy and the Big Idaho Potato
Published at
Every week I’m interviewing fascinating people in our community, nation and around the world!
The idea came from a Facebook commenter who saw a video of me and my family floating down the river in Island Park. The person said I should turn the tables and interview my dad (Nate Eaton) – so I did and the rest is history!
I’m a big fan of potatoes and have wanted to interview the people behind the Famous Idaho Potato tour for a while. The big spud recently came to Idaho Falls and my parents surprised me with a visit. I sat down with Ghazal Yahyavaveh and Melissa Bradford and asked them the following questions:
- How long has the big potato truck been around and where are some of the places its gone?
- How big is the potato and how much does it weigh?
- What is the potato made of?
- How many pounds of potatoes are grown in Idaho each year?
- What do you like best about driving this big spud around the country?
- Has the potato truck, Oscar Mayer Wienermobile and Planters Nutmobile ever been togehter for a picnic?
- My favorite kind of potato is mashed potatoes. What is yours?
You can follow the Idaho Potato Tour on Facebook and Instagram.
