Hey, remember me? I was in rehab this summer trying to reform this whole fried food and alcohol diet. If you’re reading this, CONGRATULATIONS! You’re the reason I relapsed!! Go ahead; pat yourself on the back. I’ll wait. ...… Ok, back to business! :)
I’m an honorary member of the Nickelodeon softball team (still undefeated at the time of this communication) and after winning a game uptown at 108th and Riverside we headed over to the Village Pourhouse on 109th and Amsterdam for celebratory drinks and frites. Before I get into that though, a word of advice. Don’t be like me when you grow up. I had not one but TWO Makers on the rocks before going to the game, got there right before we started, and prayed the ball didn’t get hit to me. I did, however, hit the game-winning single so I guess I have favor with the Alcohol gods… but I digress.
We ordered two beer bongs (or Hi Toppers) of Bud Light for only $20 each. Peaking at the menu, it only took me four seconds to decide what I wanted. I ordered the Smothered Fries. Oh. My. Jesus… If you’re on a diet, please cover your eyes.
Village Pourhouse’s Smothered Fries are handcut and deep-fried then drowned in three cheeses and (wait for it….) BACON. As teammate Jeremy Schloss so eloquently put it, “If you put cheese and bacon on something, it’s impossible to suck.” This is a bit of an overstatement, but I like where his head’s at. What’s amazing about them is there’s cheese and bacon throughout the dish. Unlike other bars that just put cheese atop the fries as a mere afterthought, Village Pourhouse said smothered and they meant smothered. They are served with sour cream, Ranch, and Good Ol’ 57. They also come with a warning to consult your doctor to make sure your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. Oh wait, that’s Cialis… Either way, these fries are not for the faint of heart, and I don’t recommend them to any Calorie Counters. :D

smothered fries!....YOWZA! God bless my arteries I may have to try these one day
Just let me know when and I will take you with me on an unholy journey to the Village :)
Good thing I don't live too far from this place...I haven't tried the smothered fries yet but I already know I will be addicted. Bacon...and CHEESE - my serious weakness!
Enough cheese to feed a small country (or kill a small human...) but that's besides the point. When you go tell them I sent you.
Well, they don't know me yet, but they will :)
Oh my Jesus indeed. Great googly moogly those fries look gooey. I'm on the opposite of a diet so extra bacon and cheese for me thanks! Lol
