YYYyeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. French fries, made from real potatoes.
It’s like In N’ Out, but doesn’t taste like potato chips/shit. These were a little limpy, even after asking for them well done, but I can see the potential. Super simple, but the oil they used gave it a great semi-unique flavor. I think that’s when you know a fry is good, when having them limp still tastes great. On Sunday and Monday nights they also have great jazz after 9. French fries + jazz is a commendable combo. Hal’s also offers, for like $2 extra, to add truffle oil to your fries. This in theory is very exciting (to me, and like 3-4 other people tops), but in reality is way too overbearing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about adding fungi from the Langhe area of the Piedmont region in northern Italy that costs $1300-2700/pound (wikipedia ftw) to my fries, but it just doesn’t taste that amazing after 2-3 fries. It’s sort of like Gilbert Godfried, a person who is entertaining for 2 minutes tops.
