Dance of the Deep-Fried
April 26th, 2010
I am not typically a big fried-foods person, and that’s by choice. I ate less and less of them over time, and now when I do indulge it can have some interesting GI effects, so I typically will avoid the crunchy deliciousness of a proper fry.
However, I do have some nominations for best specimens of the fryolater arts. Send me yours!
1. Buttermilk donut at Enchantment Chocolates. Holy crap. Crunchy, deep brown, tangy.
2. Onion “loaf” at Owl Cafe. This was my most recent little fried bender and it was worth every crunchy batter bite. Their fries are good, too, but these onion tangles are darn tasty.
3. (R.I.P.) Fried pickles at Independence Grill.
Two Fools fish and chips! I don’t eat fish and chips generally – I think I’ve only had the dish in Ireland and bites of people’s here. Nothing I’ve had in the US ever made me want to order a full plate until Two Fool’s. Now it’s the reason I go and my order 90% of the time.
Come to think of it, their fish & chips comes with one of the only coleslaws I enjoy too.

Try the chicken wings at Tickles and Snooks Wings n Things on the corner of San Pedro and Montgomery. 30 some flavors to choose from. They have a heck of a menu, the wings are fantastic. They also have fried pickles (called Tickles Pickles! )
