Bon Fromage! <\/strong>It\u2019s Bastille Day later this week\u2014you know, the holiday that is kind of like the Fourth of July but they celebrate it in France, and most Americans don\u2019t even know about it? So, what better way is there to celebrate the execution of Louis and Marie than delving into some of the best French cuisine in the Hamptons!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I\u2019m not talking about Croque Madames or even macaroons. I\u2019m talking about FRENCH FRIES! And don\u2019t you dare call them chips or, even worse, FREEDOM FRIES!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here in no particular order are my favorite places to super-size that side on the East End! Bon appetit, y\u2019all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crispy, Crunchy and Crazy good! Cove Hollow Tavern<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Cove Hollow Tavern<\/strong> (East Hampton) \u2013 Cripsy, crinkle-cut with a hint of bbq seasoning, these fries put the bomb in bon jour! Served with a side of extra caloric aioli, there\u2019s no way to eat just one. Best served with a cool glass of Sancerre, but what isn\u2019t? At $10 for a side, these are a steal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Almond <\/strong>(Bridgehampton) \u2013 Yes, they have more generic plain<\/em> fries (for the purist), but how dare you when you can have Cheese Fries Americaine with smoked cheddar and chilis! If you\u2019re not in the mood for fromage, you can always go with Bernaise Fries, Gravy Fries or Korean Fries with sesame seeds, kimchi and sriracha mayo. Prices start and $10 and go to $13. No, you may not order these as an entr\u00e9e\u2026 or can you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOLDEN NUGGETS ! DOCKSIDE’S BEST SIDE!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3. Dockside<\/strong> (Sag Harbor) \u2013 Crunchy is the first word that comes to mind whenever I sink my teeth into these special spuds. Delicately batter dipped (I think, or twice fried) and topped with bay seasoning, these are a perfect side with more than just burgers! Personally, I find these are a perfect balance to the healthy nature of the Seared Tuna Wrap. $7 per side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.<\/strong> <\/strong>Fresno<\/strong> (East Hampton) \u2013 Delicately fried, fresh-cut potatoes with a hint of salt and a big side of Heinz 57. We\u2019re not talking about anything too complex or fancy\u2014just golden, salty, traditional fries done right. At $8 for a side, it\u2019s a must-share at any dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
BIT OF BRUSSELLS IN SAG HARBOR…. LULU KITCHEN’S FRIES! GO AHEAD YOU ANTWERP!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

5. Lulu<\/strong> (Sag Harbor) \u2013 These are no dud spuds! Lulu\u2019s crispy and delicate treats are a greater potater! They are authentic Belgian fries that are crisp without being crunchy and without feeling like mushy steak fries! $14 per order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I started this blog, I had no idea that today is National #frenchfriesday! In fact, The New York Post<\/em> j<\/a>ust wrote about Serendipity\u2019s $300-a-serving fries. I don\u2019t know how it happened, but for once the Hamptons isn\u2019t the most expensive game in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BTW, DID I MISS SOME GOOD FRIES ? LEAVE ME A NOTE AND LET ME KNOW YOUR FAVORITES!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
