FRENCHING!
We celebrate Bastille Day with a round-up of great French Fry joints. C'est chic!
Today marks Bastille Day, the celebration of all things French. And while we love Chanel, Serge Gainsbourg, and the Plasticines, we’ve picked something else for homage:
The French Fry.
They may not be great for diets, but tossed in salt or slathered with chili, French fries are the perfect companion to any main dish. Here’s a list of some of our favorite French fry joints from coast to coast. But be warned: This article may cause hunger
New York
Pommes Frites
Because: This home cut Belgian fry stand is slowly becoming a New York favorite. Open late with a variety of over 30 sauces to choose from, the only trouble is choosing which flavor.

Ha, I think this is a rather amazing little article. 1. Because I could LIVE off of french fries, and 2. Now I am just dying to go to Jar, since I've never been there.
Love this.

My friend brought me to Rehoboth Beach, DE - there are so many Thrashers places on the boardwalk. Salt n Vinegar only - no ketchup! Best fries ever.

I love the fries at this burger joint in Phoenix called Freddy's. Also the best fries and ranch dressing come from a little dive called Moody's in nowhere-ville: Bisbee, Arizona.
As a side note, Bisbee is actually a really amazing place to go. Best photo-op place in the middle of nowhere ever!
