Fries of awesomeness +1

My counter part said all that really needs to be said about the orgasmic nature of duck fat fries. I love me some french fries from waffle to steak, McDonalds (r) to Wendy’s (r) I have eaten the best fries out there. These are like Usain Bolt turning around and waving at the other 100m sprinters better than any I have ever had. No more words to say about it. This Friday get off your butt, put away that lovely leftover dish you brought from home and get over to Hot Doug’s The Sausage Superstore and Encased Meat Emporium

Let’s Talk Fries

There are fries and there are FRIES.  Some people like the style of french fries from McDonald’s which are good in their own right.  Some people prefer thick heavy steak fries and there are some who prefer tater tots (I myself prefer crispy crowns to tater tots).  There are some fries that are so good that they deserve their own post and category on Ask Me About My Wiener.

On Fridays and Saturdays Hot Doug’s Sausage Superstore and Encased Meat Emporium serve a twist on the conventional french fries.  That’s right in addition to the normal fries offered on the menu for $3.50 you can experience the heavenly bliss of Duck Fat Fries.  These delectable morsels of goodness are cut a bit thinner than the regular fries but they are then deep fried to perfection using rendered Duck Fat.  I believe that they are even fried twice at two different temperatures but I do not have confirmation of that fact.

You’ll find that these fries are a bit richer than regular fries but they are really quite addicting.  Even though it is a very large order (I recommend one order to split amongst two people) you may find yourself scraping the bottom of the paper boat for the little burned end pieces at the bottom which we call “little crispys.”  You may even take it one step further by licking the bottom just to make sure that you have it all.  This compulsive behavior may be enhanced by the opium sea salt that is sprinkled over each order.  These fries are awesome.

If you have an opportunity to go pick up an order on Friday or Saturday you should take it.  Be warned that if you are planning a trip out to California and Roscoe you should start early as very long lines form on “Duck Fry-Day” and Saturday.  If you try to go between noon and 1:00 be prepared to wait.  I also recommend getting an order of the regular fries to go along with it as a taste test.  Some people really can’t appreciate how good these fries really are unless they can try several side by side.

Make the trip.  I’m sure that you will be glad that you did.  Also for the dozen of you that may actually read this blog please post some of your favorite fries in the comment section below.
