I'm in Denver, and the hotel bar was playing the Mavs/Timberwolves game, so I went down to watch, and ordered a $16 BLT and fries. I had very low expectations, but I was way wrong. The BLT was quite good, but the fries were some of the best I've ever had. The fries were perfectly crisp on the outside, and really fluffy on the inside. And, they stayed that way right up to the last bite.
I think I know how the fries were cooked. I think they par baked or boiled them, then tossed them around to rough up the outer layer, then deep fried them in really hot oil. I've heard about doing that, and now I have to do it to find out if that's what was done to these fries.
By the way, EVERYONE in that bar wanted the Timberwolves to win, but I'm guessing it is because people in Denver HATE Texans. When the Mavs came back from a 16-point deficit to win the game, I let out big, loud cheer... then payed my bill and got out of there before I got my a** kicked.
