SEATTLE – Jim Stewart Allen is acquiring a lot of nicknames these days.

He started as the potato guy. Then he became the broccoli guy. And, for the fashion-forward crowd, he’s the guy who wears a paper-cup inspired track suit.

Before the 30-year-old substitute teacher and comedian started going viral for his delicious dance moves at football games -- confused, don’t worry, we’ll explain -- he was just a guy who enjoyed making the yearly trek to Boise, Idaho, for the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Since he was going every year, he decided he should try and find a clever way to get recognized during the game.

“I tried to get on TV by doing signs for a few years,” he said.

That wasn’t working.

The right dance moves, though -- now that would be something people would notice.

“I realized about two years ago that, if I was going to get on TV, probably the best chance to get on ESPN was with dance moves,” he said.

He started practicing. A lot.

When he refined his moves to point where he was ready to unleash them on the world, he decided to debut his skills during his yearly trip to the bowl game.

Then something fortuitous happened. On his way to the game, he stopped at the store to buy an energy drink. While he was there, he noticed the potatoes. He was going to a game named after the spuds he was looking at, so what better way to capture the attention of those in the stands than to incorporate potatoes into his routine.

“What if I danced with raw potatoes?” he thought to himself. “That might be kind of funny at the Famous Potato Bowl.”
