Happy Valentine's Day from New York Fries

National French Fries Day 2016

So how are you celebrating National French Fries Day today?

Besides just eating some fries, or even better, making your own fries (here's one cool way) and eating them, there are a number of ways you could celebrate today.

If you go to Chickie's & Pete's today, their amazing Crabfries are only one dollar, what a bargain! Also if you enter the Crabfries Eating Contest at their South Philly location, you can not only help out a great charity, but you could also win Crabfries for life!

If you are headed to the Collingswood location of The Pop Shop, kids eat free (one free kid entree with one paid adult entree) and grownups get a dollar off any full order of their fabulous Pop Fries. 

As I mentioned last week, members of Fry Society get free fries at New York Fries. However you celebrate, enjoy.

And don't forget to share your fries with your friends. That's the best way to celebrate. If you want to post pics to social media about your fries and your fry adventures today, please do, and use the hashtags #NationalFrenchFryDay and #FrenchFryDiary. Mmmm… fries…

Join the Fry Society!

Just in time for French Fry Day, if you join The Fry Society before July 12th, 2016, you'll get free fries at New York Fries. Details can be found here. Mmmm… fries are always better when they're free...

Eat Fries and Support Kids with Cancer

NOTABLE TV AND NEW YORK FRIES COMBINE TO ORGANIZE THE BIGGEST FRY MEET-UP TORONTO HAS EVER SEEN

For the second year running, New York Fries is a Platinum Level Sponsor of the National Kids Cancer Ride (www.nationalkidscancerride.com) – a charity event to raise money for kids living with cancer. The Canadian fast food restaurant chain will be donating $1 from every regular fries and meal sold on June 18th to the National Kids Cancer Ride and has spent the last two months raising awareness of the event. The money raised will be used to support Oncology centres across Canada. To help out, Toronto-based Notable TV (www.notabletv.com) is teaming up with New York Fries to organize a unique charity event in the heart of downtown Toronto.

Notable TV Founder and CEO Julian Brass wants to take over the city’s busiest intersection – Yonge and Dundas – with hundreds of fry-wielding supporters of this great cause. The plan is to encourage people to purchase a regular fries or meal at either of the two New York Fries locations in the Eaton Centre on June 18th, and then meet at Dundas Square for a massive gathering and opportunity to mingle with other altruistic young professionals.

“We want to create the biggest fry meet-up the city has ever seen,” said Brass. “This fun networking event will lead to hundreds of dollars going to support kids living with cancer, thanks to New York Fries’ donation day.”

In addition, Brass has created a Facebook group about the Ride on behalf of New York Fries and Notable TV where members can leave supportive messages to kids living with cancer. The messages from the group’s wall will be copied onto a large billboard and delivered to children who are fighting cancer in hospitals across Canada.

It Started with the Super Bowl...

It started here, with an innocent Super Bowl tie-in.

Then thinking that "New York fries" was the style of those on the plate, the deep-fried scalloped variation, Google led me here, a wonderful street-side franchise out of Canada.

Gotta love the car horns!

Mmmm... fries...
