575390 Tue Nov 25 20:53:25 -0800 2008 26 2 Los Angeles Area 0 4202580 I was reading the Apple Pan post about their fries and it got me thinking. I'm obsessed with french fries and they are usually the only things I will not give up even when I feel the pants getting tight. I love the fries at the Farm in the Grove the most and I hate the fries at In-and-Out Burgers the most. Let me know where you can get the best fries in and around Hollywood and also the worst. Thanks! Tue Nov 25 20:53:25 -0800 2008 155500 ExtraCheesePlease 1 4202610 The Oinkster has really good Belgium Fries. They are located in Eagle Rock on Colorado near Eagle Rock Blvd. Tue Nov 25 21:17:04 -0800 2008 4202580 77316 420 Reasons to eat 1 4202672 I finally happened by Skooby's one night last week and they were open. Amongst the items I ordered were the fries and they were pretty good. It was regular fries with the potato skin and some potato chip cut fries. Fresh made and quite nice with the aioli that comes with it. I'd been by Skooby's before at night and they were closed, but the guy there told me I probably came on a night when they had nobody to work the place. They are open fairly late daily and up until 3am on Fridays/Saturday according to the sign.

Carney's does it best! Get a large order but leave room for the best chili dog in LA. (best dog, best chili and best fresh bun). I eat this meal twice a month just to stay healthy. Don't want my pants falling down -- No? Oh, that chocolate covered banana is double dipped and is probably the best priced desert Hollywood. http://www.carneytrain.com/ Wed Nov 26 09:31:57 -0800 2008 4202580 90917 JeetJet 1 4203643 Big fan of the fries at both Hungry Cat and 25 Degrees.

Was there a month or two ago - snapped a picture of the fantastic $5 plate of fries.

There's one on Broadway in Glendale and another at Beverly and Olympic, also Burbank and Pasadena Linking ... Wed Nov 26 10:58:17 -0800 2008 4202580 85884 maxzook 2 4209593 Had the pug burger and fries for lunch yesterday. Yup, excellent fries. Excellent burger as well. Now I need to hit Carney's with my nephew. Sun Nov 30 08:15:10 -0800 2008 4203763 155500 ExtraCheesePlease 1 4204289 The crinkle cut fries made extra crispy at Langer's are my favorite. Bouchon will be opening up in the Fall of 2009 in Beverly Hills. Although it won't satisfy your immediate fix for fries, you'll find some of the best frites (if not THE best) there. You can also fly out to the Bouchon in Vegas to try but that may be a costly venture just for fries. Wed Nov 26 14:56:45 -0800 2008 4202580 118060 mrshankly 2 4217540 Langer's. I just returned from NJ where I ate in a diner every day. None of the fries were as good as Langer's. 'Course I didn't have any disco fries. I often think about Langer's fries. They must just be frozen or do they make them? Wed Dec 03 10:20:13 -0800 2008 4204289 12909 Hershey Bomar 3 4342199 They are Crinkle Cut, I'm sure they are frozen and processed... but Langers just KNOWS how to fry them... perfectly crisp on the outside, perfectly fluffy on the inside... --Dommy! Tue Jan 20 13:29:50 -0800 2009 4217540 10659 Dommy 1 4205119 Hot Wings Cafe on Brand Blvd. greatest curly fries with ranch sauce! and totally agree with you on the fries at the Farm! Wed Nov 26 23:06:56 -0800 2008 4202580 228058 whatanappetite 2 4205882 Never had the fries at Hot Wings, but I'll vouch for their homemade potato chips. They are great. Thu Nov 27 15:16:33 -0800 2008 4205119 240509 SmokeyDoke 1 4205144 The best I've had in and around Hollywood were at Skooby's. Wed Nov 26 23:49:59 -0800 2008 4202580 12509 Hackenbush 1 4205189 I had an outstanding poutine at Animal tonight. Poutine traditionally consists of fries topped with beef gravy and cheese curds. In Animal's version, the gravy is a rich and buttery demiglace reduction spiked with braised short rib, and the cheese is a sharp white cheddar. The fries underneath would undoubtedly be delicious if you ordered them sans the poutine accoutrements, but I have to admit, I was a fan of the total package.

Fantastic, and the homemade mayo with which they are served is also top notch. Hungry Cat's are great, too. Thu Nov 27 07:44:46 -0800 2008 4202580 190493 millions 1 4208833 The Kitchen in Siverlake on Fountain at Sunset has great fries. perfectly cooked and salted with flecks of herbs. Sat Nov 29 16:55:44 -0800 2008 4202580 60617 rednyellow 2 4211635 Yes! I forget how good these are, even if they are shoestrings (and normally I HATE shoestrings). Another place where the fries are much better than anyone would have reason to expect is Papoo's Hot Dog Show in Toluca Lake. Mon Dec 01 09:10:47 -0800 2008 4208833 85884 maxzook 1 4212939 Another one here for Skooby's and Oinksters. I am also partial to sweet potato fries and, if that floats your boat, the Bowery does a good version of that. ~H.C. http://la-oc-foodie.blogspot.com Mon Dec 01 16:46:56 -0800 2008 4202580 11949 AquaW 1 4213612 Citrus at Social Hollywood. Bouchon has great fries? Beg to differ. And Carney's? If you're starving and you've blown enough pot to smoke a sow. Or have they changed? Don't make me try them! Someone else confirm I'm right or wrong. If they've changed from my memory, I'd be happy to return. But I just this Apple Pan experience with lousy fries, yah see... And The Oinkster is not in Hollywood. But, I'd rather make that drive (from Santa Monica) than eat Apple Pan's once frozen reconstituted spud links.

Wed Dec 03 01:19:35 -0800 2008 4202580 212582 schrutefarms 1 4268146 I haven't had too many in the area, but the ones at Lucky Devil's are quite good :) Tue Dec 23 01:32:54 -0800 2008 4202580 87322 1newyorkguy 2 4342694 Best kept secret - the fries are truly fabulous at JRs Barbecue on La Cienega between Washington and Adams -right where Fairfax meets La Cienega. Their BBQ is all very good, but their fries, made fresh, are the best I've had since Dive closed down in Century City. Tue Jan 20 16:23:38 -0800 2009 4268146 87865 Jeryy
