Beer + Fries

If you’re going to enjoy beer and French fries, it is best to choose really good ones. Like the Publick House in Boston!

IMG_4302Blog

IMG_4314Blog

I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed the two together, but they are not a classic combo for nothin’!

IMG_4303Blog

Who better to enjoy this combo with? Tina + Mal!

IMG_4307Blog IMG_4318Blog

We met them for a few drinks and dinner on a chilly Friday night. We chose the Publick House for its super Belgian beer collection for Matt’s enjoyment.

I had an 11 ounce of the Chocolate Indulgence by Ommegang. It tasted like a Peanut Butter Cup!! I kid you not.

IMG_4300Blog

Tina knew how to order off the secret menu – as in the invisible one. “Bag of fries” was not on the menu, but she knew it was there. Our server did not blink an eye when we ordered it, and soon enough, a bag of fries was placed before us.

IMG_4311Blog

Filled with some of the best fries I’ve ever had – soft, crunchy

IMG_4312Blog

Along with truffle ketchup and beer mustard!

IMG_4315Blog

Round II was split between Larbs + me – her newest favorite!

IMG_4322Blog

And finally, we shared the Cisco Winter Woods, which tasted like a minty wine cooler. Did NOT like this beer!!! Gave it to the Matt’s.

IMG_4326Blog

For dinner Larbs and I shared the veggie burger, which came with bleu cheese and a side salad

IMG_4337Blog

It was a GREAT veg burger! Nice and juicy.

IMG_4338Blog

Matt’s sausage + veg mac and cheese was a hit as well!

IMG_4339Blog

After dinner we subwayed it back and then went to a get together for Larbs’s grad school program. I stuck to water by this point.

Love This Story

KERF Reader Molly and her friend Ling participated in a Secret Santa exchange. Molly had just introduced her friend to KERF and wanted to get her friend some fun foodie items frequently on blogs and asked my opinion on the very best from OpenSky. Garlic Gold, Nuttzo, chia seeds and Kodiak Cakes topped my list. Ling loved the items, and in exchange, Molly got a new oatmeal bowl! (Love the design from afar : ) )

My eyelids are so heavy by 11PM that I think they could participate in a BodyPump class. And I’m excited to sleep on this air mattress!

Nighhhht!

    Hi Kath! I thought I saw you tonight! I was walking by The Public House after going to dinner at a nearby restaurant and I could have sworn I saw you! I’m a longtime reader of your blog (even won your Spark Book giveaway once) so it totally made my night. If it ever happens again I’m saying hi though!

    Yeah, a minty wine cooler sounds pretty gross! I wouldn’t have liked that either.

    I am fascinated by this “fries in a bag” phenomenon — what makes them taste so good? The bag soaks up the grease?

    Larbs has excellent taste in beer–I was also loving some Fin du Monde this evening! I am jealous of your Boston adventure, I miss that city! Have extra fun for me 🙂

    Heather beat me to it! La Fin du Monde is not a beer from Belgium but from Québec! A grreeaaat beer. You should try other beers from that brewery, they have a nice white beer called La Blanche de Chambly.

    Hmm, it’s fitting that you say that beer is like a peanut butter bup, as I just bought 56oz of minitaures reese’s last week at Australia’s only Costco store… :/

    The food looks delicious especially since I am living on Larabars and Amazing grass right now (until I fly home Friday). Can one sustain themself on this combo? I guess I am about to find out. The chocolate Ommegeng is one of my favorite’s and to find it on tap is rare.

    PS. The flu shot was no match for whatever bug was on my plane 🙁

    Truffle ketchup and beer mustard sound like the perfect accompaniments to fries (or chips as I call them over on this side of the pond!)
