      <content>Oh come on now Soccerdad, Islands?  The ersatz Hawaiian burger joint, with non-descript burgers.  Obviously you had a deprived childhood, poor boy.  I will say a prayer for you the next time I eat some fries at The Hat.</content>

      <content>I like the chili cheese fries at Mo' Better Meaty Meat Burgers on Fairfax and Pico.  Fresh cut fries, bathed in greasy chili and cheese.</content>

      <content>HI-Life Burger on S. Fair Oaks Ave. in South Pasadena.  Known throughout the area as raising c-fries to an artform, the portion is oversized,  pitched into a cardboard contained guaranteed to leak fluids, irridescent in color, and an "aroma" (odor is more like it) that brings back memories of high school ditch-days...i can still feel the pain!</content>

      <content>Haven't had the chili cheese fries, just the regular at The Hat.  Damn good fries, very generous, a small order is as large as or larger than any other places large.  Big, thick full bodied, potato tasting fries, definetly the right base for a load of chili and cheese.</content>

      <content>Not sure if they're the same or even if it's still open, but Lucky Boys in Pasadena on Arroyo. Now those were some late night chili cheese fries.
 
Of course, these are high school memories so...</content>
