TrendSpark: I’m Loving It

Amy Winehouse is once again setting trends, this time it’s all about the grub. That’s right indies, McDonald’s is officially in. Alright that’s a whole lot of bull shit. McD’s french fries taste like soggy, salted cardboard when compared to the fine frites we get here in New York, but in honor of Amy’s greasy potato addiction, we figured we’d leave you with a few spots in NYC to get some wicked fries that won’t have you walking into the loving arms of Ronald.

Pommes Frites. 123 2nd Ave. New York- One of the original prevaricators of crisp taters, Pommes Frites are a Belgium creation that gives you cones filled with delicious fries. Best of all each batch comes with your choice of dipping sauce, which includes wild creations like mango chutney, Vietnamese pineapple mayo, and pomegranate teriyaki.

Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries. 138 Montague St, between Henry & Clinton, Brooklyn - Shoestring fry lovers will have to hit up this spot where the classic burger has been revitalized and the fries are always freshly made. The secret is that the fries are made in peanut oil, which makes them feel less weighed down and lighter.

Big Daddy’s Diner. 239 Park Ave, South, New York - Since watching Napoleon Dynamite I’ve had this strange lust for tater tots that have driven me to the brink of heading into a middle school and waiting in line with a bunch of prepubescents a-holes (I don’t like kids when they reach that I’m better than you age.) Which is why I love Big Daddy’s restaurant. They have the best tater tots in the city and if you ask Rebecca nice enough she’ll let you know how that spot holds a special spot in our hearts.
