Fries by Mail

Friend and frequent French Fry Diary contributor Cindy hipped me to this one. Pittsburgh based Primanti Bros. will soon be sending their food all over the country by mail.

Their specialty sandwiches that are stuffed with fries and cole slaw make eating one-handed, while you drive, or do whatever, much easier. They are also famous for their Smallman Street Fries. You can learn more here.

French Fry Diary 194: Tonic

Today's Somebody Else's Fries is another one from The Bride. She travels quite a bit for her work, so she gets to try a lot of new and different restaurants all along the east coast. On this day, she stopped by Tonic, a restaurant/bar in Pittsburgh, where she got something called 'Cowgirl Fries.'

These Cowgirl Fries were big natural cuts that had bacon, scallions, and a homemade cheese sauce on them. The Bride said, "they were good, but they weren't super-terrific." The panini of the day was much better. Hmmm... I'm not sure if that's an endorsement or not. I guess if I ever get out to Pittsburgh, they might be worth a try.
