    Nathan’s French Fries crinkle cut. The best.

    Try the fries at Avalon’s in Houston. All varieties.

    Problrm solved. Somehow the "subscribe t this page" button was turned on on my computer. Shut it off "unsubscribed" and all is back to its normal semi chaos.

    I agree with some others who think that "Nathans"
    french fries are tops to an extent, that being
    that the best are at Nathans in Coney Island &
    the other Nathans french fries are secondary, IMHO.

    Whoops, I don’t think we should call them french
    fries but freedom fries to be politically correct. [}:)]

    I must say that I ususally stay away from this place in order to preserve what’s left of my digestive tract…
    But Tastee Freez has great fries…
    My main weakness is the Summer House in Southwick, MA where they serve some excellent fries in cups just like at the beach.

    in Tampa, ‘Mel’s hotdogs’ has super waffle fries, as does ‘Chic’file’
    McDonalds used to have a great fry when they cooked with lard, but alas, so-called health nut pressures took their toll…..why the hell would anyone even think about eating ‘healthy’ in a joint like that?

    Far too many french fries are not worth eating. Bland, dry, mealy – what’s the point? I don’t have any particular favorite style, just that they be done well. There’s an old Italian restaurant in town that everyone loves,Angelo’s Civita Farnese, that has a little quirk I’ve not encountered elsewhere. Side orders of (excellent) meatballs or sausage are served with a small pile of french fries as well. The fries are very good, dark in color, tender, a good mix of crisp and moist. It’s fun to use them to wipe up the tomato sauce left on the plate.

    I love all fries…and love them even more with vinegar, which freaked out almost everyone I knew while growing up but, I’m glad to see, is more commonplace elsewhere.

    Strange things are happening: Today when I opened my E-Mail there were seven messages from "Do Not EMailWebmaster @roadfood.com". The messages were in reference to my purported request to be notified about "French fries", and purportedly "Argent" and "Flowercat" had responded to my enquiry.
    As french fries are pretty low on my priority list of foods I do not think I ever made such a request and my search of the site does not turn up such a request. In any case there seems to be no message from either Argent or Flowercat that in any way refers to an inquiry from me or anyone else. What the Hell is going on? Is someone
    hacking our site? Did someone press a wrong button? Or is this just another electronic glitch that we will file away with other mysteries like the treasure of Oak Island, or Rosewell, or the disappearance of Judge Carter?

    Years ago I cooked at a place on the Canadian border in the middle of the woods. In Winter, the snowmobilers came to this place for gas and a beer. The owner decided to start making fries to go with the burgers.
    He used fresh potatos and cut them with a hand powered contraption. We sprinkled them with ascorbic acid so they wouldn’t turn black in ten minutes.
    These Canadians, though, wanted brown gravy on them. I started making a packaged restaurant gravy and they were happy.
    Is this familiar to any Canadians as a Canadian thing, eh?

    I love Nathan’s fries! After that it’s the french fries at All American Burger in Massapequa.

    Do Tater Tots count as fries?

    I got hooked on the Quebec concoction called "poutine". Fries with cheese curd and brown gravy on top. Haven’t had poutine in quite a while, still have fond memories of it.

    Here’s a link to help describe what poutine is…..

    Dearfolk,
    We have a place here that has Belgian-style twice-fried fries served with a variety of mayonnaise-based dipping sauces. It’s Achim’s K-Bob. Achim (guiseundheit!) is a horn player who came from Germany to Georgia for a music degree and ended up opening first one and now two restaurants specializing in Belgian fries and K-Bob sandwiches. When I lose some more of my extra-Ort.ness, I will go for an order of fries, but no combos for me until I shrink some more!
    Now I’m off to see the wizard… the Abbey Ale at Copper Creek Brewing is about to run out tonight, and I want another pint or two before it’s goney-goney.
    Salutorially As Well As Gustatorially, Ort. Carlton in Athens, Georgia, Which Is Not A Bad Place To Be Stuck If You Have To Be Stuck Someplace.
