Would You Like Fries with That?
[Sarah Hall] 01 27 2012Anyone who’s ever stepped foot into a McDonald’s knows that the fries under the Golden Arches are quite tasty. However, Washington has a few places which will make you wish they offered a super-size serving of these fried-to-perfection potatoes.

First, an ode to the inventors of the French fry–the Belgians. Brasserie Beck serves Belgian frites ($7-9), thinly cut potatoes fried golden brown with three mayonnaise-based dipping sauces: aioli, curry, and tomato. 1101 K Street NW, Washington, DC. 202.408.1717.
If you’re looking for grab-and-go french fries, Good Stuff Eatery has you covered. My personal favorite is Spike’s Village Fries ($2.49-$3.79) sprinkled in fresh thyme, rosemary and sea salt. The aroma from these fries is amazing.
Not big on spices? No worries–try an order of Sunny’s hand-cut fries ($2.39-$3.69) in traditional sea salt. No trip to Good Stuff Eatery would be complete without a visit to the dipping bar, for unique sauces like Old Bay Mayo or Mango Mayo to pair with those golden potatoes. 303 Pennsylvania Avenue SE, Washington, DC; 2100 Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA. 202.543.8222. continue reading… »
