9. Balthazar, New York, NY

Great care goes into making the fries of the steak frites dish at this ornate New York City restaurant. The potatoes are soaked overnight and then cooked in peanut oil for maximum crispiness.

I bitch and moan about New York more than anyone (Kevin in particular) should be forced to hear but some days you wake up at 11 and at 2pm decide you want a “best burger I ever had” quality burger so you get on the train for 20 minutes, which is all it takes to get to Balthazar, and eat too many of Bobby Flay’s favorite French Fries and suddenly NYC isn’t so bad ðŸŸ ðŸ”âœ¨
