Deadly sushi has created a thread asking what you like on your burger. Always a good topic, if you ask me.
I was wondering what you like 'on the side'?
I can do the french fries, especially if they are krinkle cut. A steak fry will do, as well. I don't care for shoestring or worse, those twisty curly fries
My absolute favourite is a baked potato. Lou and I got turned on to this about 4 years ago (note: not that we'd never considered a baked potato with a burger before, but rather, it never seemed all that important....). There is a great bar in New Orleans on Esplanade called Port of Call. There is usually a line out the door till 2am, from 10am to get a table at this place. Seating is better at the bar. Anyway....they serve a huge burger, delicious burger with one side, and one side only...a baked potato. These potatos are the size of grapefruits and cooked to an airy perfection. The compliment the magnificent burger like nothing else could.
So, my favourite side would be a baked potato with a dab of butter, a dollop of sour cream and some chopped chives.
I can always appreciate a nice helping of baked beans, too.
Cole slaw is fine, but I really perfer fresh homemade to some of the stuff restaurants serve.
A pickle on the side will never be turned down.
And if I could get an egg cream (assuming this is a G rated meal) or an ice cold Abita Amber (for the meal) I'd be sooooo very happy.
What about you? What's on your plate?
