I am so disappointed in the fries I have had lately.

They are either to cold, to soggy, to greasy or to salty (if there could be a such a thing) :angry:

Anyway where have the fries of yesterday gone the ones that were nice and hot and crispy on the outside and soft an yummy on the inside.

Has anyone had some good fries lately , and if so please do tell.

Thanks!

Best fries I've had lately in NJ are at Amazing Hot Dog in Verona. Hand cut from fresh potatoes and twice fried. Yummm!

The fries went away with the LARD or was that TALLOW.....sigh

a dive with week old (at least) oil helps too, have you ever noticed when even someplace with good fries sends out pale limp creatures? Its new oil day for sure.

The great thing about barbeque is that when you get hungry 3 hours later....you can lick your fingers

Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

Dave's Fries at the Englishtown Flea Market, every Saturday, since 1949.

Or Amazing Hot Dog if you're closer to Verona.

Curly's in Wildwood were always good as a kid. Haven't had them in several years so I don't know if they maintained or not.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the kind words about our fries, we put alot of labor into them and we think it is worth it. Since the topic of great fries was brought up, I would like to put out there that NJ Monthly is asking readers to submit their nominations for the best fries in NJ. If you think we qualify, please email to fries@njmonthly.com they worded their request like this in the Cheap Eats issue:

"Where do you go for the best fries in New Jersey? And what makes them the best?"

Thank, as always, for your support.

I don't know about you all, but I certainly don't want to eat fries in week-old oil...all burnt and smelly. If their doing a good fry business, then the oil is going to be shot in a few days.

BUT.....

There is a long-standing practice in alot of burger-and-fry joints to "seed"the new oil with a little of the old oil to help the flavor. So I understand your sentiment....

Nothing says I love you like a homemade salami
