Quest for the Best Fries: Roots Steakhouse

Roots Steakhouse is one of the restaurants we've frequented ever since we first moved to Jersey.  It's a dependable fixture in the area when you're in the mood for a classic steakhouse meal.  So we figured it'd be a great next stop in our Quest for the Best Fries!

We went on a particularly hot day, so Mel decided to splurge on her favorite summer treat meal: the lobster roll.  Delicious as always!

DJ went for a simple steak salad, we shared an order of the Applewood Smoked Slab Bacon (joy!), and of course - the fries!  They were definitely the perfect thin stick shape and fried to perfection.  However, after the first bite we remembered that they toss them generously with Old Bay seasoning.  For those who love that flavor, it would certainly be a treat.  But, it quickly became apparent that our Fry Guy does not fall in that category.  He definitely gave them a fair chance, but wound up drinking half a glass of water after every bite.

Between sips of water, we asked him to rank the restaurant fries we've tried so far.  The results:

1.  Committed Pig

2.  Echo Tap and Grille

3.  Roots Steakhouse

And the quest continues...
