you don't want to stand too close to me right now.......

I really don't know who started it all, I think it might have been gordon biersch a few years ago, but garlic fries are everywhere now. The first time I had it was like five years ago, when I visited the then pac bell park in san fransisco for the first time. I thought it was awesome. It is not often to get fries that actually tasted like anything other than just starch. Also, I really hate ketchup (not as much as warm soda, however), and a lot of places don't season their fries that well, probably because they assume all the stupid fucks are going to drawn them in ketchup anyway. Anyhow, ever since then, I have noticed garlic fries being sold everywhere, at least the bay area.

I was in santa cruz the last couple days for a small conference. On sunday night, a few of us went to a couple local dives for some beers after some really really cheap wine at dinner. After my judgement became impaired, I saw a restaurant across the street advertise that they have the best fries on their window. This place is pretty weird, it looks like a dinner, in a hippie but also star trek-ish sort of way, just can't really describe it or remember it that well. I got an order of garlic fries to go, paying 50 cent extra for some jalapenos. The fries came in a paper box probably made with recycle paper. They were a little soggy, but they were also really fucking good. I said there were at least 20 cloves of chopped up garlic in there, plus a shit load of jalapeno. We finished the whole box of it on the side walk in like 35 seconds.

I am sorry this is becoming a long and boring blog. But the next day, oh my god, I and anybody who come closer than three feet of me paid the price of me eating those fries. I was a walking exhaust, it was fucking disgusting, just a complete disaster. I want to apologize to the people that were unfortunate enough to be around me on that day. Next time when I am drunk, no more jalapeno garlic fries, maybe just thai food, like usual.

haven't seen garlic fries in new york but still sounds like it was worth the loneliness the next day. Maybe I'll try to make some.
