Most interesting fries you've had?

[josiekat]

We've all had cheese fries...what delicious and strange fries have you had in Philly or on the road?

[JCap]

Is anyone in Philly doing poutine yet? One of our gastropubs has to, right? I saw a place in San Fran that was doing them with short rib gravy and cheese curds. Mmmm...

Most interesting would be sweet potato fries with maple syrup & pecans (or maybe walnuts, can't remember) at Cavanaugh's - I don't like the restaurant/bar enough to go for just this, but it's a good order if someone else is picking the place.

My favourite, though, are the fries at La Terasse in University City. They're usually fried with onions - I've always gotten the onions but have been told that this is sometimes not true - and always served with a duo/trio of yummy aioli, which changes on a regular basis but I wish they'd bring back the saffron one as a staple.

We had very good zucchini fries at Agave Grille & Cantina in Ambler. They came with the crabcakes.

Sorry to interrupt, but we ask you to confine your recommendations to delicious and strange fries in the region covered by this board; start new threads on other regional boards if you want to make recommendations outside of PA. Thanks!

Yum. I have to go try all of these. The curry fries sound amazing in particular. Anyone ever had disco or wet fries? Someone recently told me about them and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the gravy part.

Yes, I have had "gravy" fries in many a diner....my father told me he had them when he was a little kid........they are reg. fries in brown gravy....delish !

Fries at Bluezette included wasabi mayo. They were good. The place has been closed for a while though.

Probably not the most interesting, but I am absolutely addicted to the huge plates of shoestring fries at the Continental, especially the wasabi mustard dipping sauce on the side.

I haven't decided whether I like the fries or the wasabi dipping sauce better - they are really yummy. I like the fries at Vintage, too. They are addictive - I eat them faster and faster....

The fries at Snackbar are excellent. They are lightly coated with herbes de provence, and come with a garlic dip and a spicy homemade ketchup dip. Thank you.

I loved the sauces that come with the fries at Monk's (bourbon mayo) and the Bards (curry)--they're more memorable to me than the fries at either place.

Without a doubt the most satisfying fries I have ever had anywhere are called String fries which look like the rubber inside of a baseball and taste absolutely divine.
Where? Moro restaurant in Wilmington.
