Jo Jo potatoes

[Sam Clements]

I tried a search but didn't find anything.

I was born in Danville, VA. and raised in Arlington VA.  Lived in NC for 6
years.  And then I moved to Akron, OH. in 1972.  Never heard the term until
I moved to Ohio.

They have broasted chicken and "Jo Jo's" here.  They're potato wedges,
lightly breaded(sometimes) and deep fried.  MUCH larger than "steak fries."
Sometimes as big as taking a whole potato and quartering it lengthwise.
Always still in the skin.

Why the name "Jo Jo?"  (or "jojo")
