      <content>I'd have to say the best, most amazing fries are at Crow Bar in Corona Del Mar:   

Duck Fat Fries with a truffle aioli sauce on the side - it just can't get any better than that...</content>

      <content>Marche Moderne in South Coast Plaza mall has some damn good frites.

I have had the duck fat fries at Stripsteak and these totally blow them away.

Wasn't to impressed with the duck fat fries, maybe because it covered up too much of the potato taste that I love.</content>

      <content>I've tried all the places mentioned.. and I was not really impressed.  If I had to pick 1 of the above places it'd be crowbar, but Brussel's were very average fries.. and Marche's just weren't that good.

Lola Gaspar were better than all of them.. I guess I need to go to LA if I want good fries.. eh?</content>

      <content>I'd like to mention I visited crowbar more recently, and the fries WERE really good.  I'd put them on the list of best fries in OC.  They offer a few different kinds, and I always forget which ones are the good ones </content>

      <content>Any place that uses double fry method (low and potatoes look limp to cook through first and then higher temp to crisp right before you get them) in PEANUT oil. That's the best! Anyone knows who does that in OC, cause I'll be there in a heartbeat!</content>
