French Fry Diary Suggestion Box

Okay folks, here's your chance to tell me about your favorite French fries!

We're planning a trip to Walt Disney World in a couple weeks, and although this is far from our first trip, and I've done many entries on places down there to have the favorite fried food, I am looking for your suggestions.

Where is the best place in the parks for fries? Who has the best, or the worst? Is there some place I have missed in the past, or somewhere you all think I have mis-reviewed? Help me find the best fries in Walt Disney World!

And also, the same goes for my home territory in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area... who has the best, who has the worst, what is the next place you'd like to see me review? Tell me what's on your mind.

Please contact me here. Let's see what we can find!

French Fry Diary 115: Home Fries, The Movie

Home Fries ~ Nope, not what the title implies at all. Despite what might have been hoped for, this flick has little to do with the favorite fried food.

This quirky dark comedy has all the writing and the intentions of a Coen brothers film yet none of the performances. The eclectic cast, headlined by Drew Barrymore and Luke Wilson, and filled out by Catherine O’Hara, Jake Busey and Shelley Duvall, among others, is adequate but little else.

Dysfunctional family plus infidelity plus pregnancy equals attempted hilarity, it seems. Add in some high tech helicopters, some rednecks, cheap headsets and a burger joint, and you have Home Fries.

These are actually one or two shots of home fries, so it wasn’t quite false advertising, I guess. And I wonder what kind of fries the fictional Burger-Matic actually has... we never see them...
