“I’m a steak and potatoes, burger and fries kind of guy. Over the years, I have researched extensively into the art of making a great fry. I have traveled all over the United States and ate fries in some of the most legendary eateries this great country has to offer. Through trial, error and observing others, I came up with this recipe. My friends and family love it. Try it and I think you will agree, this is the art of the french fry down to a science.”
