Duck fat is going to be everyone’s go to. But Butcher Burger is my sleeper pick.

Duckfat was ranked top 10 in the country for French fries years ago

Wait... are you saying you're ordering trays of fries for takeout?

went to duckfat. Precut frozen fries, not only not great, really not very good at all.

Oven fries! 450 Ma!

Anything you buy will suck in less than 5 minutes unless it's been dredged with flour and fried crispy. But then you're into potato tempura territory

I’m going home to a family cottage that was built in 1914 and I don’t have the room or supplies for a deep fryer. So, yeah, I’m going to pickup somewhere. I’m harvesting the mussels myself, but the oven is an old fashioned “cook stove” that honestly doesn’t work great for high temps. So, yes, ordering out.

Your commitment to arguing with me is asinine. That does not change the fact that relying on the generosity of others sharing their experience with me helps cull a list of places I might want to then check and see whether or not they cater? Or offer catering services through a third party? Like for pop-ups? And many, many (but not all) restaurants in Portland do cater. I used to work in the industry, and this really was not an uncommon thing for people to ask about…

Duck Fat does them so well, the hype is pretty legit. I honestly have only been to the restaurant once, but I get them at Oxbow nearly every time I'm there. So good.

Frying Dutchman is supposed to be great but I haven't tried them yet. The one time I went they were closed for like a week randomly.

Make your own fries man. Not hard and very tasty. Cut your potatoes and soak them in water for a while. Drain and rinse. Pat dry woth paper towels. Fry at 350 until soft and starting to brown a bit. Put them on a sheet pan. Freeze them. Once frozen remove and fry at 375 until golden brown. You won't regret this.

I'm not sure about the hype. I've watched people on tv shows all rave about it, and there were huge lines last summer when we first attempted to go. I got the classic poutine. the gravy was just out o' the can brown liquid, the cheese curds weren't even "squeaky". The fries were the most underwhelming part!

We did got to "the little tap house" nearby. Great poutine, and my son claims "the worlds best grilled cheese"! Had a sweet drink selection also. Real close to the portland by the bay hotel.
