Show Some Skin!

[Frites] I gotta give props to the folks at Carl's Jr. for showing a little skin. Nah ... get yer mind outta the gutter. I'm talking about potato skin. It's the tastiest and most nutritional part of the entire spud, and now Carl's Jr. serves their Natural Cut French fries with skin intact. Now, if we could only get them to do some double dipping in the fryer, we'd really have something! (Ted Scheffler) 

The Taste of Freedom

I stopped by The Paris Bistro recently for an after dinner drink and was told to "keep it legal" we'd need to order food with our wine. Our server suggested a side order of pommes frites ($5.95), otherwise known as French fries or, to jingoists and the Bush administration, Freedom fries. Well, whether Freedom or French, these fries were the bomb! The large plate of thin (about McDonald's thickness) fries were wonderfully crispy, right down to the last pomme. Not a soggy one in the bunch! They're not skin-on frites (boo hoo) but nonetheless the best restaurant fries I've tasted in eons.  (Ted Scheffler)
