Baked Potato Time

Whatever happened to the baked potato? Do people eat these anymore? When I was a kid, anytime you had a meal outside of the house you'd automatically get a baked potato thrown in. Steak, chicken, whatever - if somebody else took your order, you were getting a baked potato.

"What'll it be?"
"I'll have...the baked potato."
"Great. And would you like butter or sour cream?"
"Butter."
"And your baked potato that comes with?"
"Hmm...sour cream."
"Great. I'll be back in a few with your baked potato appetizer."

It's not like I'm hitting fancy restaurants in Manhattan anymore, but I rarely see or hear about the baked potato. Whats up with that?
