Miami Dolphins and Steelers Game

The Steelers defeat over Miami Dolphins yesterday was a little disheartening to the fans in South Florida. The game was a nail biter and I even found myself paying attention,

which is pretty rare for me. I went to LIV at Sun Life Stadium with some friends to enjoy the game. The creators of LIV on South Beach brought the concept of a nightclub atmosphere to a football game. This was perfect for Tania and I because we are not Read the rest of this entry »

French Fries at Joe Allen

Oddly enough, I have never been to Joe Allen in South Beach. I have always heard great things about this restaurant, but for some reason I always forget about it when making dinner plans. My BFF Tania told me that I had to go once she tried the French fries on an excursion to Joe Allen without me. I said ok and we booked a table.

We arrived and Tania announced that the Read the rest of this entry »

Albert Hannemann (Al-B) playing Volleyball

Sometimes I wish I had the drive to work out as hard as professional athletes, but unfortunately my passion is French fries. I caught up with Albert Hannemann, who is a professional beach volleyball player and entrepreneur.

Known to his friends as Al-B, Hannemann has a impressive professional record. Here are some of the highlights.

• Won the 2009 US Open Championship in Manhattan Beach, CA.
• Won the AVP Hermosa Beach Open
• US Olympic Festival Gold Medalist
• NCAA National Champion as freshman at UCLA
• NCAA Academic All-American at University of Hawaii
• Student-Athlete of the Year at University of Hawaii

I caught up with Al-B to learn a little bit more about what he is up to and his feelings on French fries!

FFF: What is your favorite type of French Fries?

Al-B: I just ate them at the Dallas airport! Sweet potato fries all the way! Read the rest of this entry »

Alexia Oven Crinkles... or French Fries

When I was at Whole Foods, I picked up some French fries I could make at home. I bought Alexia French Fries in the Onion & Garlic flavor. Actually, Alexia wants you to leave out the fry part, so they are called oven crinkle fries. I was a little skeptical. French fries should really be fried.

I read the directions thoroughly and popped them in the oven at the right temperature. When the French fries were finished, they were ok, but not fantastic. French fries are meant to be fried, not baked. When they are baked, they never get that perfect golden brown outside and hot inside that make French fries so yummy in my tummy. I understand that people watching their figure might want to bake rather than fry. I also understand that parents should probably bake the French fries for kids so they don’t get chunky. If that is the case, they are ok. For the rest of us who just want to enjoy a hot, delicious fried snack from time to time, I think that French fries need to be fried.

So, I pulled out my handy dandy fryer.  (Every good French Fry Fairy must own one!) I put in Read the rest of this entry »

Nina and Josh G. enjoying French fries at Clarke's

It may come as no surprise that Clarke’s is one of my favorite restaurants on South Beach. I have done about a gazillion posts from this restaurant. Well, maybe just a few short of a gazillion.

French Fries at Lucky Strike Lanes

I met a group of friends at Lucky Strike Lanes in South Beach for some football, beer and French fries. As we waited for the rest of our friends, Jason, Josh and I ordered a bucket of beer and a little bit of food. The boys ate wings, while I settled for French fries.

Lucky Strike Lanes isn’t your normal hole-in-the-wall bowling alley. If you were just sitting in the bar area, you would Read the rest of this entry »

So I was sitting around contemplating life when I decided I wanted to get out of the house. I talked Jason and

Porn Star Kangaroo

Steven into going to the Miami Zoo. I have a love hate relationships with zoos because I love seeing the animals, but sometimes it breaks my heart to see animals in cages that are much too small.

My favorite part of the day was the porn star kangaroo. We came to the kangaroo exhibit to see a very happy marsupial displaying all of his goods. His come hither pose was just too much. I kept waiting for the porn star music to start up… bom chicka Read the rest of this entry »
