The secret is out: What the Fries is a place you should know about, and now the whole world will know, too. The restaurant will be featured Jan. 26 on Cooking Channel’s “Food Paradise.”
We’ve long known the South Charlotte/Pineville-area restaurant that specializes in craft creations of loaded French fries and tater tots should be on your list of newer spots to visit and a great place to get an affordable meal. Back when What the Fries was a food truck, Cooking Channel featured it on “Southern and Hungry.”
And now, there’s even more good news. The “Food Paradise” episode is set to feature two dishes, including a longtime favorite that will return to the permanent menu starting Jan. 27.
What dish might that be, you ask?
The Cooking Channel synopsis for Season 16, Episode 4, dubbed “Retro Remix” says: “Everything old is new again as classic comfort food favorites become unique mashups like spaghetti grilled cheese, crab Rangoon French fries, barbacoa stroganoff, chicken and waffle doughnuts and even a meatball burrito.”
Ahem. (I guess we’ll find out soon.)
To watch, tune in or set your DVR to record Jan. 26 at 10 p.m., Jan. 27 at 2 a.m. or Feb. 27 at noon.
“We hope this will set us apart and tell the story of how we are more than just fries; what we offer is an elevated and unexpected culinary experience,” co-owner and chef Greg Williams said.
