Everywhere across the country, small groups of people get together in restaurants and coffee shops across the country to do business networking. We’ve been to some of these meetings, assuming that you’re most likely to purchase restaurant equipment from someone you trust. Usually, the places that we meet are local so we can have a face-to-face meeting with the owner.
One of the places which had this meeting around us was a burger place. These burgers were crafted by hand, and they understood what rare meant (many chefs have the *theory* of rare, but their execution might need a little work). Their flavorful rare burgers were something to behold, but the real star of the show, what kept people coming back, were the fries.
We can always admire a restaurant that cuts their own fries using a heavy duty potato fry cutter. Honestly, these guys go through a LOT of potatoes every day, too. For an individual restaurant, they must have gone through at least 50 pounds of potatoes a day, each one of those put through new fry oil and put into one of those American Metalcraft conical baskets. Seriously, a lot of fries.
When we were there, you’d have the choice between sweet potatoes and regular potatoes. It didn’t make a difference in which one you went for, either – they were both astoundingly good. Good food is the key to a good restaurant. Where were you served the best fries?
