Posted by French Fry Fairy On September - 16 - 20102 COMMENTS

Making French Fry Pizza was so much fun! My friend Craig, from WorstPizza.com came over to teach me a thing or two about making pies. We made pizza and French fries and put them together to make French Fry Pizza. Andy Vitale also made a guest appearance to help with the food. Check out the video.


The Burger Beast presenting at the Burgies!

So last night was the Burgies put on by the Burger Beast. I was lucky enough to present the Burgie to the restaurant with the best fries. The winner of the much coveted award was Taurus in Coconut Grove, Florida. I have never actually been to Taurus, so now I have a new restaurant to look forward to trying! If you would like to see a complete list of all the winners, check out the Burger Beast’s recap.

So, Jason came with me to the Burgies and Read the rest of this entry »

Belgian Fries at Hopjacks

Right after I went to Pensacola, my friend Steven went to Pensacola too! I wish we could have gone on the same day, but alas, I was on my way to somewhere new by the time Steven made it to the Panhandle. Steven went to Hopjacks, which happens to be a pizza joint. However, Hopjacks serves Belgian Fries, so Steven was in luck! Woo hoo! The menu at Hopjacks sets its French fry standards pretty high. Read what they have to say… Read the rest of this entry »

Pensacola, Florida: Dharma Blue with Potato Chips

Dharma Blue Restaurant - Pensacola Florida

Jason and I continued our travels through the deep south. It seems kind of weird that we had to travel 6 hours north to reach the deep south, but whatever… We stopped in Pensacola, Florida to visit my very dear friend, Becka.

Becka and I used to get into a lot of trouble in college. She was actually my big sister in

Becka and her Daughter

 my sorority so in addition to getting into trouble with me, she also kept me out of some trouble. Enough said… It is weird to see her all grown up with a husband and family. The role fits her Read the rest of this entry »

I went to Orlando to visit some of my dearest friends in the entire world… I love my girls! When I first arrived, I was hungry! Hamburger Mary’s in Orlando has some of the best burgers in Florida. They also have a wide range of
fried potato options on their menus! In addition, they have Celebrity Impersonation Shows (or drag shows) that are so much fun…

Fort Lauderdale: Briny Irish Pub and Crinkle Cut French Fries

Posted by French Fry Fairy On August - 22 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

My friends and I went to Briny Irish Pub on the Riverfront in Fort Lauderdale. I was really carving Thai food, but I kept getting denied. I finally just sat back and let them decide where to go. Josh took charge and suggested Briny Irish Pub. I love Irish pubs because they almost always have fresh-cut potatoes. We arrived and the place was pretty cute! It was right on the water and I was surprised at the size of the interior. It was decorated with marine décor and knick knacks. They even had a life-size pirate statue that was pretty close to our table. That made me pretty happy. Pirates are hot Read the rest of this entry »

Mangos on Las Olas and French Fries in Fort Lauderdale

Posted by French Fry Fairy On August - 18 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

Josh and I were up in Fort Lauderdale after seeing a movie in 3-D at the Discover Center IMAX. Now, there is no way that anyone would ever call me a techie, but I am intelligent enough to know that 3-D technology came out before I was born. So, why is there a 3-D invasion happening across the world? Shouldn’t this have happened years and years ago? I mean, I am not complaining because I love when things look larger than life and come flying towards me. However, I just don’t get what all the fuss is about. Next thing I know, Jersey Shore will be in 3-D and we can all feel like
Snookie and the Situation are partying right beside us.

So… after the movie Josh and I just found somewhere on Las Olas to grab a bite to eat. We went to Mangos. I felt like the décor at Mangos was out of the 1970s. Read the rest of this entry »

Fried Yucca at Don Arturo in Fort Lauderdale

Posted by French Fry Fairy On August - 14 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

Recently I came upon a little gem of a restaurant in Fort Lauderdale – Don Arturo. Jason and I have been there so many times that we know the servers by name.  It is our little home away from home. Well, okay, maybe that is being a little dramatic, but we go to the place often.

Our friend Jay was in town visiting. Jason, Jay and I all worked together once upon a time, so it was good to catch up and shoot the shit. Jay is probably one of the funniest people on the planet, so needless to Read the rest of this entry »

I visited La Locanda, which is an Italian restaurant in South Beach, to have dinner with my friends Josh and Tania. We were actually surprised
when they said they had French fries! The food at La Locanda is amazing and the service is impeccable. That is pretty hard to come by in South Beach, so this is a real diamond in the rough.

Although the French fries were only ok, the rest of the food was delicious. I can keep writing, but you should probably just watch the video…
