fries for 200

  • Wednesday, July 28, 2021

Las Vegas - America's Line odds ran in the New York Daily News every day for almost 40 years. So, I'm thinking that I still have some friends in NYC. And if anyone out there would be so kind, a quick stop at Serendipity 3 on 60th Street between 2nd and 3rd avenues would be greatly appreciated. And just ask for the French fries. If you buy me the fries, I'll pay for FedEx same day shipping. What's so special about these fries? Well, Guinness World Records has certified, that as of July 13, the fries are officially the MOST expensive on earth. How much Eck? Just a couple of Benjamins ($200)! And what do you get for a FREAKIN' $200 plate of fries? Well, first off, they're NOT just fries, they're the Crème de la Crème Pomme Frites, which are made from Chipperbec potatoes. Chipperbec??? Rather then explain why they are the world's BEST potatoes, just check out their website if you need to know (https://chipperbec.com).
The Chipperbec's are blanched - or scalded - in vinegar and champagne. Then they fry in pure goose fat, NOT oil, and not once but twice, so they are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Then, these bad boys get sprinkled with edible gold. WHAT? And seasoned with truffle salt and truffle oil. They are served on a crystal plate with an orchid, thin-sliced truffles, and a Mornay cheese dip. For $200 bucks, I'm expecting to see a used iPhone on the plate as well. Sadly, there is an eight to ten week wait list for the fries. Someone PLZ put my name on the list!!!

Oh yea, a winning pick to pay for the shipping. It's baseball tonight and we're using the Mets with Tylor Megill over the Braves. Not sure if the New Yorkers have found another pitching gem, but this kid Megill has NOT allowed an earned run in his last two starts (12 innings, all bagels). Gimme the Mets for the money!
