During his time running The Luxury — the River Walk bar and grill whose space was later taken over by Elsewhere Garden Bar & Kitchen — honcho Andrew Weissman labeled the french fries on his menu “Crack Fries.” And for good reason: the twice-fried suckers were simply that addictive. That same double-blanched approach has carried over to the esteemed chef’s burger stand, Mr. Juicy, and the result is that the sliced spuds are rendered crisp on the exterior and meltingly tender inside. Kissed with just the right amount of salt, these fries are perfection, no matter what they’re called.
