Snuffer's Cheeeeeese Fries

First off THANK YOU, Tony for pointing me and Ken in the right direction.  After another round of golf and one of the funniest moments of my life(See Ken's Wall on FB), lunch needed to be had.  I checked Yelp on my phone to see what was near...nothing.  Ken's been wanting to go to Snuffer's where one of our co-workers (Tony) told us to go for some good cheese fries.  And since my feeling is that anything with cheese is good, I agreed.  It was on Greenville Ave one of my favorite streets in Dallas so there was a positive already.

We took a seat on the patio since it was a gorgeous day out.  Ken took it upon himself to order our appetizer without asking me what I wanted (not that I cared), he likes to feel like the man in the relationship.  He ordered a large cheese fries with "everything", that being bacon bits, chives & jalapenos.  Since that is the reason we went, I didn't feel the need to challenge his masculinity.  Not that day anyways...hehe

Our server was so-so but there was probably about 3 other servers that passed our table that kept checking on us and offering assistance.  This is probably what will have me back there next time I want something greasy.  Great teamwork.

It arrived and my eyes widened.  There was an imaginary halo guarding it as if it was sacred.  Just look it, doesn't it look amazing.  Artery clogging, heart-attack giving cheeeeeeese fries!  They were as good as they look.  Every fry that was removed from the pile had a string of cheese trying to keep it attached like an umbilical cord (not a good food reference huh?).  The fries were cooked well, and the plate was still hot.  A challenge that some cheese fry makers around the country have is they let the order sit in the window.  Cheese fries must be consumed instantly!  I used to work at a place that had AWESOME, cheddar fries, CCFF for you Islands readers.  We both stopped after some good bites to save room for our entrees.

I ordered a Chicken Breast sandwich on a poppy seed bun with Swiss n Cheddar Cheese & bacon.  The chicken was tender and the flavors melded well together.  Nothing out of this world but it was what I was expecting. Good bar food.

My only "do better's" for the fries were: 86 the jalapenos not a good combo, its not Nacho cheese. And if I was making them at home I would layer the bacon & chive on the entire dish that way you get a bite of all the toppings instead of just that row of flavor.  Definitely worth the trip if you are a cheddar fry connoisseur.

Burger Spot hits the...

Sol & I decided to take a page out of the Dallas Morning News' Best 5 burgers in Dallas article. I have to say this Leslie lady knows what she is talking about, she scored on this out of the way new burger joint.

The Burger Spot can be best described as an upscale fast food joint. There is more selection, the food is better & a little more expensive but you also get a MUCH better experience. After reading a few reviews I saw that someone had a fry sampler, so that was the first thing I ordered. Secondly, I am a sucker for chili so I ordered the Chili Burger with American cheese instead of cheddar (another one of those childhood things). The cashier recomended the mushroom swiss burger so Sol went with that. When she asked him how it was cooked (meaning temperature wise, medium, medium well, etc.), his reply: "oh we just put it on the griddle back there". hehehe he wasn't telling a joke either! Also free with the meal while you wait was popcorn; it had a very subtle spice/seasoning. Seems kinda wierd but you can't help but grab a bag off the counter.

Our fries arrived first, the guy who dropped them off said our burgers were on their way but he wanted to make sure we received our fries hot (that's good customer service). In the sampler fry basket was 1) Cajun fries that had a good kick to 'em 2) Onion rings that were battered & cooked to perfection 3) regular shoe string fries & 4) Sweet potato fries with a dusting of brown sugar (all pictured to the right in order starting from the left). Great fry basket, I would definitely go back for the sole reason that they know how to fry their food. The dipping sauces were: Blue cheese, honey mustard & a spicy ranch. All were very complimentary to each "fry". If you venture out to the Burger Spot tell them to hit you with the Fry sampler.


A couple short minutes later our burgers arrived. Yuuuuuummmmmmyyyyyy. My chili burger was amazing, it had a nice thick patty cooked medium, chili, plenty of American cheese & a soft white bun. It reminded me of the Islands pipeline burger from Mission Valley, mmmmmm. It was seriously identical, for you non-Californians this is a VERY good thing. The patty was perfectly cooked, very juicy. It was almost too much food but I managed. I admit we did leave a fair amount of fries on the plate, so go hungry. They had a lot of specialty burgers, and funnel cake fries which the owner told us we had to try. He also said their mac & cheese was an old family recipe and it was VERY good. Apparently this is family owned (all the more reason to go) and it is their first go at a burger place - not too shabby guys...in fact well done.
