A Photo Gallery of the Things I am Grateful for This Year
Are we all over our New Year's resolutions to cut out fatty fried foods yet? Because if you're in the mood to Cherchez Les Frites in Los Angeles, it's time to spill the beans potatoes on where you like to go.
Talking French Fries is old hat to some foodies, but still worth talking about nonetheless. In fact, it's an ever-evolving topic when new places hop in the deep fry. The January 2009 issue of Los Angeles names their picks for their five new fry-faves (Church & State, 8 Oz., Marty D's, STK, and The Waffle). Sometimes, though, the hunt is for a fry variant, i.e. Sweet Potato fries, or Poutine (a French-Canadian dish of fries smothered in cheese and gravy).
These fries are from Langer's Deli--definitely not a new choice, but a tempting one nonetheless--as captured recently by noobphotog and submitted to our LAist Featured Photos pool on Flickr. Look good? If yes, proceed to Langer's and order 'em up. If no, tell us where you think the best fries in LA are found (then go, take a picture, and drop it in our pool tagged with "eye nosh").

The best fries in this city are at The Hungry Cat ($5 for a giant bowl) and/or at The Kitchen (in Silverlake). Fresh, herb-tossed, crispy fries - incredibly hard to beat.
I looooveee fries. They're like my destiny, or part of it. I think it really depends on what kind of french fries you're looking for. Like Lindsey mentioned, we've got some options: regular, steak fries, shoestring, waffle, curly, cajun, sweet-potato etc etc. And of course, location is key.
Here's some of my favorites-
Regular: Upstairs 2
Shoestring: Mastro's BH
Waffle: The Waffle (maybe unfair since they sort of dominate the waffle fry market, unless you want to go Carls Jr. on them)
I know this is a blatant blog drop, but since it's related, check out the French Fryar blog (www.thefrenchfryar.blogspot.com) to see the pursuit of the perfect french fry in LA. Ahhhh fried goodness.

The curly fries from Library Alehouse absolutely dominate
