Many of the greatest thinkers of our day have spoken of these fries.

I believe it was Sisqo who said it best:

“This thing right here.
Is lettin’ all the ladies know.
What guys talk about.
You know.
The finer things in life,
Hahaha.
Check it out.”


So true, Sisqo, so true.

Or perhaps it was the underground group of philosophers known as the “N’Sync,” who put it so eloquently in one of their most popular texts:

“You’re all I ever wanted,
You’re all I ever needed (yeAhhh),
So tell me what to do now ‘cause, iiii IIIIII IIIIII IIIIIIII, I want you back.”


Lastly, a good friend of mine once wrote:

“A na na na na na na nana,
Na na na na nana,
Gettin’ jiggy wit it
Repeat 3x.”


I won’t post fries from other cities unless they’re exquisitely delightful. These were just that. Pure amazing in a bowl. Their detectability ranking were off the f’n heezy. The picture says it all- look at that color, that fry placement, the shape of the bowl…it’s just, beautiful. Sorry, I’ve got, uh…something in my eye… Not only were these fresh cut and well cooked, but they give you a good portion too and it’s only $6 (which for the fifth most expensive restaurant in the US, isn’t bad). They sprinkled them with a perfect amount of parsley and a very simple but lightly salty seasoning. But here’s why they were so good- THEY FRIED THESE FRIES IN TRUFFLE OIL. Yes, the stuff that costs about $22 dollars for a couple ounces of it (yes, I checked). A lot of fancier restaurants say they have truffle fries- but most of them just spray them with truffle oil. These are FRIED in it. That’s like, hundreds of dollars of oil, devoted to french fries. What more could you ask for? It gave it such an interestingly addictive taste that’s almost impossible to forget. Maybe one day they’ll base a video game on them. You know you’d play.
