WJ, someone mentioned the "Chesapeake Style" fries on another thread; it may have been you. I LOVE malt vinegar on fries (I always use that instead of catsup on my homemade fries), but I’ve never tried Old Bay on them. I keep Old Bay in my cabinet for shrimp/crawfish boils, so I’m going to season my next batch of fries with it.

I’ll add my "thanks" for posting your trip details. You always come up with some of the best places…

Bushie,

I believe cider vinegar is traditionally used, however many restaurants in Maryland only have malt vinegar available, both are good, however malt vinegar is a little stronger and may take away some of the flavor of the old bay seasoning.
