Looking to up your fry game? Look no further then Pommes Frites in the Village. This is fry heaven. This place is definitely famous and lots of people know about it but for some reason it has never been on a TV show. With over 40 dipping sauces and the chunky uneven Belgian fries this place is the go to after a long night at the bar. Fries were great and a small is enough for 2 people. Roasted Garlic Mayo, Wasabi Mayo, Pesto, Curry Ketchup, Sweet mango Chutney, Canadian Cured Cheddar Cheese,and Chicken Gravy the possibilities are endless!!!!!! Alot of people say these are the best fries they have ever had but I don't know if I can say that. I mean definitely top 3 but I cant even remember number 1 and 2 after writing this.........

Schnipper's was on Throwdown for their Sloppy Joe versus Bobby Flay. I haven't had a Sloppy Joe in years and missed the classic childhood comfort meal. So here's the deal....
Schnippers is classier than McDonalds, less crowded than Shake Shack and tastier than any joint in Port Authority. That's a pretty sweet deal in the hellhole of times square, don't you think?
So what do I think of you Schnippers? I think that if I am in the neighborhood and in the mood for food that is a notch above McDonald's but still doesn't involve tipping, you're it. Screw the burger and go for the Sloppy Joe. Though they are not as good as the ones I can make at home. Its kinda a cool place. A stainless steel high end cafeteria from the future. The mac and cheese was pretty dam good and the onion rings too. To get a standard Sloppy Joe that will jolt your memory check this place out. I mean where else can you get a sloppy joe?

Located in the heart of Dumbo, this place is perfectly located directly under the Brooklyn bridge and next to the park. Perfect place to grab a bite and take in the breath taking Manhattan skyline. Also perfect after a pie from Grimaldi's less then a block away. Very few ice cream choices, but that's OK with me, as they're pretty good, and not horribly expensive. $3.50 for a decent sized one scoop of fresh, fatty, ice cream. This is not for those picky ice cream eaters who go for the low fat or like sherbet or sorbets. This is the real deal. Also, even though there is a line, it moves pretty quickly, and as long as you don't go in the middle of a Saturday afternoon in the summer, you'll still get through it faster than Grimaldi's. Their known for their Butter Pecan and it was really extra buttery and extra Pecany (is that a word).

First of all, let me say that I have actually never been to this restaurant. I have only ordered their peanut butter online. That being said, it's pretty freaking awesome peanut butter!!!
I got the #73, white chocolate pretzels spread, which was featured on The Best Thing I Ever Ate.. I'm so freaking spooning that stuff in by the mouthful. Who would have thought I could spend $10 for each little small 4 oz jar and be perfectly okay with it....Also got the #10 Peanut Butter Cup Spread. Spread takes Peanut Butter to the next level with flavors like curry, cinnamon cranberry, butterscotch almond, white chocolate cantaloupe, rose salted basil, or even Cannabis. They claim hundreds of flavors of peanut butter. They hand check every peanut before making their spread. This stuff is expensive but if you ever come across it get some. If you ordered it from their website your looking at about $15 a jar which is only 5 spoon fulls lol so watch out. But it is definitely the best peanut butter ever!!!!

An Asian American BBQ place? Think smoked BBQ ribs with an Asian twist and you get Fatty 'Cue! New York's newest BBQ craze restaurant. Located in Williamsburg Brooklyn. These guys know how to smoke pig.
I had the smoked brisket sandwich. This sandwich had GREAT flavor. Whatever the brisket was stewed in made for a mouthful of goodness. A little spicy, a little sweet, super-yum. It also had fresh cilantro which i love. However, in spite of the intense yum factor, it was small and expensive for what you get. Try the Coriander Bacon and the Heritage ribs.

Saw their wicked hot chocolate on The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Its super thick dark hot chocolate and they add cayenne peppers to it.. The taste was unexpected. You don't get any heat in a traditional way it simply adds to the complexity. The texture was like pure melted chocolate. It was kinda to dark and thick for me. Couldn't drink very much. They had all sorts of beautiful chocolates and truffles. Jacques Torres is known as maybe the best chocolatier in America. There are multiple locations all over Manhattan. This was in Dumbo Brooklyn which is my favorite spot to hang out and spend an afternoon.

If you are driving up Rt 1 into Maine you cant miss Bob's. Located right smack in the middle of the Kittery outlets. Stopped for lunch on my way to Portland and wasn't disappointed. Apparently they make their clams two ways so I got a platter with some of both. These are full belly clams not the strips. They are fresh shucked and then fried. My portion was big! Had over 30 clams, fries, roll, coleslaw for $18. Kinda expensive for lunch but 30 clams at any restaurant would be expensive. Definitely had some good fried seafood and would stop back. I cant think of any better fried clams!!!
