Best Fries

Bud the Spud, Spring Garden at Brunswick

Ah, for those heady days of summer, when young and old, well-heeled and ratty sneakered alike come together over a common love of tasty tubers. Bud the Spud, in its gazillionth consecutive win, will soon need a bigger truck just to display the “Best of” plaques. Fries, oh beauteous fries, with your peels left on and your tempting aroma; lure me into your bosom of deep-fried goodness, seducing me with your malt vinegar and salty perfume, enslave me till our summer days run out and I am left to mourn my lost love in winter’s watery sun.
