As far as waffle fries go, I've never experienced them in any way shape or form except the frozen variety at places like Big Nick's. It would be pretty killer if someone whipped up some fresh ones, huh? I like your selection of fries, they're quite diverse. Les Halles' were delicious. I had them a few weeks back and I have to agree, being packed in like sardines takes away from the experience a bit, but the food was great. My top 5 fries 1) Houston's - potatoey shoestrings, well spiced and delicious 2) Ziggiz - you know the deal hear, thin, double-fried, amazing 3) Burger Joint - as close to satisfying that McDonald's desire without eating McDonalds 4) Kensington Kosher Deli - well done steak fries (great neck, ny) 5) Shake Shack crinkle cut - well salted and delicious Roze-

Two Places immediately come to mind. Beppe- Tuscan fries. These are amazing. They are totally different than Ziggiz in that they are almost like steak fries (and I hate steak fries btw) but they are somehow crispy all around and pretty uniformly topped with herbs and spices. For $9, which is a little pricey, you get a huge plate- enough to serve about 3-4 people. The other one that came to mind is Les Halles. These are long, thin and crispy. Quite possibly perfect. I would get them more if the place itself wasn't so tightly packed. Those are my faves, some other include Pomme Frites, Houstons, the Spotted Pig & Pearls (the last 2 are shoestring). Oops that might be 6 :) I'd love to find some great waffle fries but everywhere I've tried has been pretty weak. Thoughts? Top 5- that’s tough. Two Places immediately come to mind.

I read an article about Seymour Burton the other day from Frank Bruni who said this burger approaches "greatness." Here's the link: http://events.nytimes.com/2008/01/09/dining/reviews/09unde.html?ref=dining Those fries look great, don't know how they stack up compared to Ziggiz, but only one way to find out. What are your top 5 fries in the city? Roze-

I just tried the burger at Seymour Burton and it was awesome and they have fries like Ziggiz. It's not a huge burger per se but pretty awesome. Maybe worth checking out. http://nyctastes.blogspot.com/2008/02/seymour-burton-does-it-get-better-than.html BTW I loved the Lure burger but agree it's slightly overpriced.
