Pomme Frites
Evan has been in New York since Monday for a conference. He flew in earlier than he needed to because he wanted to do a bit of exploring. By exploring I mean eating at one of the places we have both been dreaming of, Pomme Frites. There are a few things Evan and I truly love (besides each other :))pizza, beer, ribs, and french fries. We are really picky about these things and we always try to find the best we can. Pomme Frites is almost the mecca of the french fry for those of us living in the US. I still think you can’t beat a fritz special in a market in Holland, fries smothered in their mayonnaise, curry sauce and chopped onion- delish- but I digress.
So while Evan was sending me text message with pictures of his cone of warm fries I was craving the salty crunchy fries myself, so I did the next best thing…got some Wendy’s fries and smothered them in fritessaus. Ok it probably was not the next best thing but it was as good as it got at that point. I managed to find the fry sauce that I fell in love with in Holland here at A Southern Season and am waiting for the curry sauce to come back in stock. The fritessaus is kinda like mayo but has a bit more flavor and it not as obnoxious. Give it a try if you ever see it in a store. Nonetheless I guarantee that I will be stopping by Pomme Frites to try their fries and one of their many sauces when I make it back up to NYC.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Pomme Frites and have fond memories of my sauce sampling there. I usually get Mango Mayonaise or Curry Ketchup. Yumm!! Once on my walk home, a street was blocked off and I saw Nicole Kidman making a “The Intruder.” I ate the entire cone watching and made myself sick. Only in NYC!
