From their website,’ Born in Belgium. Sauced locally. Don’t call them French Fries. Call them Bel-Fries. American soldiers stationed in Belgium were introduced to French Fries during World War I. Since the language of the Belgian army was French, American soldiers nicknamed the delicious fried potatoes “French Fries.” The name stuck, and decades later, Americans are still giving credit to the wrong country. It is time to give Belgium credit and reinvent the name to Bel-Fries. We’re the opposite of places like McDonald’s, where the fries are always the same. Like all real foods, Bel-Fries change with the seasons. Depending on the time of year, we might be using Norwis, Kennebec, Gold, or premium Idaho potatoes. We buy our fresh ingredients—yuzu juice, black truffle, Indian mango—from the same farms and suppliers that serve chefs like David Chang and Jean-Georges, so our customers can experience fine-dining flavors at street-food prices.’ Here Be Barr recommends the Truffle fries and the animal-style fries.
Need to add Bel-Fries t the NYC and NY JSON giles.
