COWABUNGA! To celebrate the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles turning 25 this year, I decided to have a viewing party for the first two movies Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Secret of the Ooze! This was easily one of the best ideas I've ever had in my life (behind creating BarFryGuy and ahead of going to NYU). This is all thanks to Vanilla Ice's GO NINJA, GO NINJA GO!
Ah yes good times. But wait.. I'm supposed to be talking about fries...
These bad boys were lightly seasoned with Old Bay or something because they had a special little zing to them. They were served with cold ketchup which was a nice compliment to the subtle spices on the fries. There is one drawback with this cut style fry. Invariably, you get scraggly little bastard fries at the bottom of the basket. No one likes scraggly little bastard fries.

Well after the party, I took several faithful Fry Kids to Jake's Dilemma on Amsterdam (Upper West Side holleeeeer). While there, I ate Jake's Seasoned Fries (37/57 BFGs. See the FryCap below), won a game of flip cup, read an encyclopedia, and danced to Beyonce's Single Ladies (I couldn't control myself... Kinda like THIS GUY)

Top: Jake's Basket of Joy. Seasoned Fries.Quick aside before the FryCap. I try to take notes when I go out and I always end up with some incoherent nonsense the next day that makes me go "Huh?". The next day my notes had a quote from Rosanna: "It's Merry Masturbation Month!" I have no idea what that was in reference to... Oh well.. to the FRYCAP!!

Awesome blog EJ! Your providing a valauable service to all New Yorkers...and I am staying away from chili cheese fries at Bar XII.
Bummed to miss this! Wish I was in NYC for some TMNT action!
Go Ninja!
YAY! Wish I could have been @ Jake's... BarFryGuy in action is something that should NEVER be missed. FryKids stand up and get with the movement!
(PS: BFG- great photo of you with the fry 'stache... pretty classic, if I do say so myself!)
Is it really masturbation month!? LOL. BFG you're a trip!!! I've never had fries with old bay on 'em.
When are you gonna do sweet potato fries??
SWEET POTATO FRIES ARE COMING UP! BFG and the FryKids just had them a couple weeks ago! I'm all about the sweet potato fries too!!! :D
My first BFG comment! So, since I was so blessed enough to take part in this lovely fry excursion, I have a little input: first off, I don't recommend the fries if you a) don't like the taste of seafood (due to the Old Bay) and b) if you don't like them cut thick. I appreciated the thickness in the cut, but I hate Old Bay, so it was a double-edged sword for me. The deal braker was the cold ketchup, mostly just because who wants to put cold ketchup on hot fries?
**Note: Ketchup doesn't need to be refrigerated folks. But the waitress totally made up for it by reenacting the ENTIRE Single Ladies video,lol
the 1st turtles movie was too gangsta for kids! Seeing rapheal tossed thru the roof as a child was traumatizing. Top 5 fukked up kids moment next to optimus prime dying in the 80's cartoon movie :(
