Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
We were raised on potatoes pancakes from a Jewish delicatessen they would come automatically with your breakfast order old man would freak if we put ketchup on them he always served with sour cream never really a fan of it that way
My mother made them about once a week but we never put anything on them. I haven't had one in a very, very long time but we were in Chompies a week or so ago to pick up a couple of Pastrami on Ryes and I noticed they had potato pancakes (duh, it is a Jewish deli after all). I'm actually trying to rearrange my schedule this afternoon to try to free up tomorrow morning? The mission, Chompies for breakfast and then MAYBE an LFS, yea right. I always had them with sour cream at delis. a fan.
 
You also do realize that if your sponsors are that you grouped McDonald's fries and Arby's fries in the same category they're likely to cancel Cooking with Kev, right? It's a highly inappropriate comment.
I’ll just go get a Checkers sponsorship!
 
For you 80’s rockers, one of our employees workin the front desk told me that Benjamin Orr ( RIP), one of the lead singers for the Cars is her uncle! “ Substitution mass confusion clouds inside my head.”
 
I do enjoy a nice truffle fry or even Greek fries with some feta cheese over the top as well.
Tim is our very own fry connoisseur!
He does know his fries, and I do agree with him on his choices and preferences.
Now, Kevin has a valid argument though. It is very tough to beat french fries from a county fair, slathered in salt, ketchup and malt vinegar.

You don’t have a Checkers up there in the mitten? Actually my home town, Canfield has the 3rd largest county fair in country.
 
@Rocks reef almost caught up, you can do it Keith!
Brother, I am trying. It's been busy today and haven't been able to 'catch up'. Plus, this family adds about 100 pages per day! LOL!

I'd ask for a picture to prove it! But, that's awesome!!

We do!
Interesting, might have to make a road trip down there when the fair is in town.
 
It all depends... I like Waffle Fries at Chic Fil A, Shoestring at In N Out, steak fries at Red Robin, seasoned or battered almost anywhere, curly at Arby's... Tots are the best all time ever. Except if you can get hash brown patties or potato pancakes or whatever you want to call them. Crispy outside but slightly soggy middle!
I second the curly at Arby's
 
I love malt vinegar on fries

In south jersey they consider that to be “boardwalk style” but they have to be crinkle cut
Chili Cheese fries with extra jalapenos is great
 
Stopped by The Food locker here in Columbus today, we go there for certain items, the cashire let me know they just got frog legs in, I picked up 2 lbs of them, will cook them up next week and share a pic
 
guess this is a appropriate time to start a war what’s everyone fry preference lots of options here shoestring,hand cut,steak fries,wedges,curly,seasoned,battered,curly,crispy/well done,soggy/flimsy…… do tots count? Can go on and on lol For bonus points include toppings or parings. Go!
Hand cut steak fries with a creamy shrimp sauce, topped with green onions! Family favorite
 
We do!
Interesting, might have to make a road trip down there when the fair is in town.
Or you could make a road trip down HERE right now, because trout and flounder season are in town!
