Best unique french fries

[docjlo]

I'm looking for suggestions for the best place to find unique and tasty french fries. Ideas?

I like the fries at Gyroville. They are cooked twice. Someone here mentioned they were not impressed, but I've had them three times now and I keep loving them.

On a related note sure to stir things up, Burger King has announced they are rolling out new fries to keep up with what I'll call the "Craft Fries" trend (Five Guys, Smashburger, Etc),

Check out the skinny (NPI) here...

I came across a blog this week that might be appropriate... http://www.frenchfriesforall.com/

Hmm...for some reason I'm suddenly in the mood for a burger & fries.

Primanti Brothers' (Sunrise and A1A, and Oakland Park and Andrews - both in Fort Lauderdale) fries are worth a mention - hand cut with lots of long ones. You just have to make sure that they don't take them out too soon. They're the best when they're fried nice and crispy.

[mattstolz]

the times that Ive been to primantis on A1A the fries have NOT been good. i ended up having to take them off my sandwich both times because they were super flimsy and soggy. and this was immediately after being put on the sandwich, not after they had time to soak in dressing or anything. pretty disappointing.

[Mauslein]

Yes, the Wilton Manors store is better usually. I've had that also on A1A that they were limp and soggy, that's why you have to extra make it clear that you want them cooked until they are crispy.

Sustain's wet fries with bone marrow gravy. They are a love-it-or-hate-it item. I really liked them, although the gravy was a bit oversalted.

Rok Burger's Poutine Canadian fries, although I have never had them. You did say unique, right?

Hand cut, cheese curds, smothered in gravy

all of RokBrgr's fries are actually really good. the poutine was actually my least favorite out of the regular, truffle, and sweet potato, but even the poutine is delicious

I don't see anything called a "trio" on their menu.

[mikek]

They bring them out before your meal as a complimentary appetizer.

I second the trio of duck fat at Bourbon Steak. Probably the best fries ever.

It's a trio of what?

[mikek]

Seriously? It is a french fry thread and the post above yours says probably the best fries ever in it.

[mattstolz]

lol im glad someone said something.

[aynrandgirl]

Yes, seriously. "Trio" implies three kinds of fries. What are those kinds? Neither this thread nor the restaurant's website says.

[southocean]

Seriously! Waffle cut, curley fries, straight, shoestring, tots? Inquiring minds want to know! Truffle oil, poutine, crinkle cut, blanched/fried, steak fries, sweet potato, home fries, cottage fries.

[mikek]

Well a trio of what vs. what kind of fries are two very different questions... amazing what google can uncover...

"Three silver cups filled with crispy spuds – one speckled with garlic and herbs, another glazed with truffle oil and a third dusted with spicy smoked paprika. The accompanying sauces – oniony ketchup, creamy truffle aioli, and smoky barbecue sauce – are just icing on the cake."

They are also fried in duck fat. And awesome.

[Blind Mind]

Thanks mikek. Those fries are f'n awesome. The truffle fries w/ truffle aioli are my fav of the bunch.

[mikek]

Yea, they are worth the price of admission alone. I am also a big fan of the paprika/bbq combo.

[VaughnRmnE]

Seriously, I am on my way to try these....
