French fries. Who has the best.

~KitchenManager Sat, Oct 11, 1997 (20:38) #1

Shady Grove's cheese fries, and/or their green chili cheese fries. WER

Where is Shady Grove?

~KitchenManager Sat, Oct 11, 1997 (23:29) #3

Down on Barton Springs between Lamar and Mopac. WER

OK, down in restaurant row. I've been to a few places along there like Baby Acapulco and there's a silvery diner like place that keeps changing, I wonder what's there now? What are your favorite places along this little corrodor? Is there still a little juice bar there? I was in the coffee shop there and had a good time in there. And I ate at a nice Italian restaurant called Romeos, very decent.

~KitchenManager Mon, Oct 13, 1997 (01:00) #5

Currently, with what's open, it would have to be Shady Grove. Never tried Romeos, it being the competitor and all. What's your favorite dish of theirs? WER

I was only there a couple of times for a lunch special. Believe me, I'll choose yours over theirs next time I have time to go to an Italian place. (that's your cue to put in a plug for your place). I had some kind of Primavera dish as I remember.

I was wondering when someone was actually going to ask! My home away from home is... Little Italy, on Mesa. Call to see if I'm there before you come in. 345-5761 WER

I used to live on Far West and frequent Little Italy once or twice a month. !Groovy! French fry answer.... the ultimate fries, batter dipped at Hyde Park Grill! Paul, if you've never been to Shady Grove (a sin!) try the Hippie Sandwich! AND a Shady Thang! Oh... I'm so jealous again! Trying to remember what I tried at Little Italy -- eggplant parmesean, linguini with clam sauce, pasta primevera and some bowtie dish with mushrooms, I believe I love the bread, but anytime I get to slather butter over anything, I love it!

I hear Hut's has good fries to go with their (veggie) burgers, but it's been very crowded every time I've tried to go there.

~stacey Thu, Oct 16, 1997 (10:14) #10

They used to have a 2 for one veggie burger nite -- Monday?

~terry Thu, Oct 16, 1997 (10:34) #11

My friend Garrett mentioned that to me, it raves about their veggie burgers. Garrett told me about a great Tex Mex place at the foot of S Congress, but the name escapes me at the moment.

Dos Hermanos?

Shady Grove's fries are pretty marvey when paired with a Shady Thang. But Hyde Park is in a realm all it's own with the batter dipped sensations!

~terry Thu, Nov 13, 1997 (16:13) #16

This I must experience first hand.

~stacey Fri, Nov 14, 1997 (10:57) #17

Still never been?!?! Paul, I've been telling you about this place for a LONG time.

~terry Sun, Nov 16, 1997 (23:33) #18

I know, keep after me. You can spank me if I don't make it there by New Years.

~KitchenManager Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (01:44) #19

And you can spank me whenever, just to make sure your technique(s?) doesn't(don't) get rusty.

~stacey Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (11:00) #20

Careful, I might wash your mouths out with soap, before that happens! *smile*

~KitchenManager Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (11:23) #21

Yes, Ms. Vura.

~stacey Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (11:26) #22

Uh Oh.

~terry Mon, Nov 17, 1997 (14:48) #23

He's trying to get one.

~KitchenManager Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (11:06) #24

Bare-handed or with implements?

~stacey Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (11:50) #25

Whoa, I missed the relavent thought tether on that one ... what was the original statement?

~KitchenManager Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (11:54) #26

Spanking.

~stacey Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (12:09) #27

Ah, yes!

~KitchenManager Fri, Nov 21, 1997 (17:58) #28

Well???

~sprin5 Sat, May 20, 2000 (06:52) #29

French Fries. Fados.

~stacey Mon, Oct 28, 2002 (14:41) #30

Years ago, I must have disagreed and mentioned something about Hyde Park's batter coated fries... if I didn't, I am now...

~terry Mon, Oct 28, 2002 (20:17) #31

Reallly, best fries in town right? I think they consistently win the Chronicle award for fries.

~stacey Wed, Oct 30, 2002 (15:12) #32

And they consistently receive a visit from me whenever I make it that far north (from SA, that is!)
