On the second Friday in July, the powers that be (nationalcalendarday.com, natch) celebrate national French fry day. We polled City Paper staffers — and culled through past coverage of the crispy delicacy — to see where folks like to get their fry fix. Read on for our recommendations.
Does your bar or restaurant have noteworthy fries? Send us the deets to food@charlestoncitypaper.com.
Coleman Public House’s Aloha Fries are like a poke bowl, but you know, with fries as a base. The house cut fries are topped with spicy aioli, sweet soy glaze, furikake and scallions.
Tattooed Moose’s duck fat fries are some of the most decadent fries in town; the hand cut fries are fried in duck fat and served with housemade garlic aioli. (You can also get the fries topped with blue cheese fondue sauce and a bulb of slow-roasted garlic, which really takes things up a notch.)
Head to Heavy’s Barburger for classic crinkle cut fries. Pair ‘em with one of the restaurant’s smashburgers.
The Edison on James Island serves up damn good herb shoestring fries.
Platia’s feta fries are a Greek delicacy, served with sea salt, oregano and feta cheese.
Bohemian Bull’s crispy fries can be ordered straight up or tossed with black truffle oil and parmesan cheese. (Pro tip: if you’re downtown, you can snag truffle parm fries from Cru Cafe, too).
Nosh on thin, crispy fries at The Rarebit.
Get your steak fry fix at Sesame Burgers and Beer. You can load them up, too, with shredded cheddar, bacon, house ranch and scallions.
Little Jack’s Tavern’s French fried potatoes pair perfectly with the joint’s Tavern burger (and a martini, if you’re really feeling it).
