An internet viral sensation responsible for loaded jacket potatoes has joined forces with Bingo chain Mecca Bingo to create a luxury potato covered in premium toppings.
Ben Newman, otherwise known as Spudman, has made a name for himself, with more than 5.3 million social media followers and regular long lines at his Tamworth stall for his loaded jacket potatoes.
He has now created a lavish meal called "The Jackpot Jack Pot", which turns a meal seen as a winter comfort food into a decadent meal which would normally cost more than £50.
It features a saffron butter infused lobster tail, topped with premium caviar, fresh truffle shavings and shredded Gruyère cheese, all crowned with edible gold leaf for that extra touch of glamour.
Each bite uncovers another layer of decadence, as silky black truffle butter and a blend of fresh herbs, including chives, chervil and tarragon, elevate the creamy potato to a level of complete indulgence.
The potato is being taken on tour by Spudman as he travels to Mecca Bingo clubs in Blackpool, Hull and Stevenage, with the possibility of more clubs along the way, and a limited number of ‘Jackpot Jack Pots’ will be given away completely free while spuds last.
Tom Sharpe, manager of culinary innovation at Mecca Bingo said: “As the OG of amazing jackpots, at Mecca Bingo, all our players are always in with the chance of hitting the jackpot, and the ‘Jackpot Jack Pot', takes that excitement one step further.
"We’re thrilled to partner with Spudman on this luxurious new recipe that combines the ultimate comfort food with the excitement of a jackpot win.’
Ben Newman said: “It’s been amazing to see so many people share in the love of a great jackpot, and now, thanks to Mecca Bingo, it’s a chance for everyone to enjoy a taste of something decadent and jackpot worthy on the house.”
Mecca Bingo members can also score an extra free treat from Spudman’s menu, just by flashing their membership card at his Mecca Bingo pop ups, while stocks last.
The Mecca Bingo and Spudman tour will take place between November 20 and December 4 at Mecca Bingo Hull, Mecca Bingo Stevenage and Mecca Bingo Blackpool.
