Spud Buds is a french fry company that started from an idea by three Georgetown students one night around a kitchen table. We seek to deliver the perfect french fry: hot, crispy, and tasty.
Beyond that, we want to bring new experience through our menu of diverse flavors, which we have built by taking inspiration from different parts of the world and adapting them to complement the natural flavor of the fry. Though we look for inspiration from around the world, we also seek to collaborate with our local community to deliver fresh and high quality ingredients.
About the Spuds
A lot of prep & care goes into the fries before they even hit the fryer:
-
Securing the healthiest high oleic soybean oil from local providers
-
Purchasing fresh potatoes and ingredients from local farmers
-
Washing, prepping, and hand-cutting all ingredients to make fries and toppings
-
Soaking off the starch and dunking potatoes in the fryer
Once the fries are extra crispy and salted, we toss them to ensure the flavor is evenly spread and top it off with hand-prepped seasoning to make the final result like the one you see in this photo.

Chas is the people person. With his background in sales and politics, he focuses on best engaging and delivering value to our customers and creating a consistent brand. A political junkie who's always reading news, he can be counted on to deliver fashion advice (whether solicited or not) along with a healthy dose of sarcasm.
Matt is our food industry guru–a veteran of some of the most exciting food brands in the market today. He's our resident go-to for restaurant best practices, and we can always count on him to crack us up when work gets too serious.
Joe is the resident marketing genius with a rare combination of creative expertise and a passion for data analytics. Perhaps the biggest foodie of us all, he's always ready with a restaurant recommendation or to take your breath away with a guitar solo.
