If you’re not on Twitter or Facebook and don’t instant message, you may read that subject line and think “what does less than three mean?” In tweet-speak and the IM world, that means “heart”, as in “We heart tater tots”. And boy, do we ever.
(Warning: this post is filled with @ symbols and therefore will be a bit annoying to read for non-Tweeters. But, since you don’t have to be on Twitter to like tater tots there’s a summary of the recommended spots at the end.)I had lunch today at Sweetwater with Natalie from the Comfort Suites on Michigan Avenue (amazing property, by the way). I posted on Twitter “Two words: tater tots”. Steph Lewis replied that they have the best, and that “life in general is better when tots are involved! if you need an outside opinion, i’m your girl!” So, of course I had to put it out there. Here’s what the Social Media world had to say about these bite-sized pieces of crispy on the outside tender on the inside potato-y goodness:
- Method606: I’ve had #favtots at The Boundary in Wicker Park.http://boundarychicago.com/
- CatherineEllen: Sports Corner’s old tots! I miss those bad boys.
- zero1: I don’t have current place in mind but I have fond memories of tater tots from elementary school.
- rachelbaker: The Brownstone on Lincoln has some good tater tots
- stephdem: @catherineellen Bar Louie has good tots! #ripsportscorner
- leahchristine: My favorite tots are in Baltimore, but I bet you could make them here. Made w brie and bacon!! Mmmm.
- interactiveAmy: I love the tater tots at @TheoryChicago!
- gordondym: I love the Tatchos (nachos w/tots rather than chips) at Holiday Club, 4000 N Sheridan. They totally rock! #favtots

- Bar Louie
- The Boundary
- Bowman’s
- The Brownstone
- The Full Shilling
- Garrett Ripley’s
- Holiday Club
- Lion’s Head
