Now this sort of thing doesn't happen very often, but believe it or not, it does happen. Stuffed French fries, and no, I don't mean being stuffed with fries, I mean stuffed animal-ish things in the style of potato-ey products. One such occurrence included the tater tot superheroes at Sonic some years back.

I love Florida, and I'm glad we moved down here from South Jersey. Florida has many awesome things going for it like Disney, sunshine, and grilling - but it's not all good. There are also alligators, sand hill cranes, Trump supporters, and a seriously sad variety of potato chips.
I was very surprised by that last one.

We've talked about this fictional burger chain in the DC Universe before (here and here), and now it's moved from the comics to your television screens in the last few years.

Last year ConAgra Foods, one of the world's biggest French fries manufacturers, acquired Lamb Weston, another of the world's largest fry manufacturers. Recently they spun Lamb Weston off as its own frozen product line, and they're just now starting to show up in stores.

There's been a lot of talk recently about whether or not McDonald's really has a secret menu, officially or unofficially, but here's something that we can't get here in America, secret menu or not - the Bacon Potato Pie. Only available in Japan, this is bacon and mashed potatoes inside a deep fried baked pie covering. Not sure if that would be good or not, worth a trip to Japan?

BurgerFi is one of those places I have been meaning to go to for quite some time. When I saw one nearby on a business roadtrip with The Bride, I had to stop in, while she did other important stuff.

We recently flew up to North Jersey for the wedding of a friend, and with time on our hands, and empty stomachs from the flight, we went in search of a quick snack. The intent was to find some place that we had not been before so I could write about it, and also some place not readily available in our new home in Florida, for much the same reason.
Our search was becoming fruitless (and Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04881290766254795431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360888.post-42717367127268636862017-08-24T18:32:00.001-04:002017-08-24T19:01:15.305-04:00Random Tater Pic of the Day #284

On the last day of our June 2017 Disney Cruise on the Dream I hit Cabanas for lunch. While it's not always my first choice, we were close and both The Bride and I were hungry. Cabanas, as you can see from this search of the blog, is primarily the best place for breakfast, and not necessarily for lunch… but I was in for a shocking surprise.

Here's the first thing you need to know about the Borgata and room service. There are two hotels here in Atlantic City that most folks think are all the Borgata, and they are not the same. The Borgata is not the Water Club, and the Water Club is not the Borgata. Water Club has great breakfast potatoes, and the Borgata has crap. C-R-A-P. Crap.

Once settling into Lakeland FL, I of course started scoping out places with good fries. One place that had been mentioned was Charlie's Family Restaurant on Lakeland Hills Blvd. My first attempt to try them was foiled by their hours - they close at two PM on weekdays. They are open later on Fridays however for their famous all-you-can eat fish fry.
