I have discovered a place on Chamberlayne Avenue that has perfect fat fast food French Fries. Not the skinny wimpy fries so many places have these days. Definitely not the fries coated with 'stuff'!! These are not fresh cut fries. They are frozen.
I was on my way home from Five Guys a few nights ago and was craving French Fries. Five Guys was closed for some type of employee gathering. It was 9 PM. I needed French Fries!! Heading to Ginter Park from the VCU area we were driving down Chamberlayne Avenue when I saw a little place which I believe is called "Park's Combo" or "Triangle". It is right next to the Military Retirees Club in an old Bullets building. Surely you remember Bullets the "Bang you are fed" hamburger chain which was so popular in Richmond for a minute.
I had never been to this place before and had no idea weather they sold French Fries or not. We stopped and I went to the window and ordered French Fries. Only French Fries nothing else. I asked the woman to make them nice and done - GBD - Golden, Brown and Delicious!! (Well maybe not brown but most assuredly golden) She said OK. I waited about 10 minutes and she handed me a brown paper bag with a medium size white wax paper bag inside with my golden fries. I immediately dumped the potatoes into the brown paper bag and asked her to shake some salt on the golden lovelies. I opened the small container of ketchup and poured the entire thing onto my fries and closed the bag and shook like mad. I asked for a fork and began to eat - before I got back into the truck I knew I had found potato nirvana!!!
If I ever have a French Fry attack again I will head over to Chamberlayne Avenue and get 'fixed'. Yummy!!!
