It's no surprise that one of the most popular booths at the Food and Wine Festival is dedicated to french fries and other deep-fried delights. What is surprising is that they chose to overhaul their most popular menu item: the Fry Flight. We're pleased to report that the new version is even better than before.
👍 Adobo Yuca Fries with garlic-cilantro aïoli
We loved these last year and we love them again this year. If you've never had yuca fries, they taste very similar to traditional fries, but in some ways they are even better thanks to their super soft center and extra crunchy exterior. These are actually entirely plant-based, which is surprising because of how rich, creamy and delicious the garlic-cilantro aïoli is.
👍 Fry Flight
This year's fry flight swapped out our least favorite fry flavor from last year with a new entry. Instead of the Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar fries, this year's flight includes Truffle-Parmesan fries which we thought were a big improvement. The truffle oil wasn't overpowering and they had a lot of bold parmesan flavor, which we loved. Even though we still think they're our least favorite of the three, it's now just because the other two are so delicious. Our second favorite were the Barbeque Bacon Fries with Smoked Aïoli. If you are a fan of barbecue potato chips, this is like eating the world's greatest barbecue chips in french fry form. While the aïoli didn't add a whole lot of flavor, it did bring a little creaminess to the party which was a welcome addition. As with last year, our favorite were the Sweet Potato Casserole Fries with Candied Pecans, Toasted Marshmallow Cream, and Bourbon Maple Syrup. These taste a lot like the Thanksgiving mainstay they are named after, but even better than most of the sweet potato casseroles we've had over the years. They were salty and sweet with a little cinnamon and nutmeg – and, of course, they're deep fried which gives them a bit of an unfair advantage over the humble holiday hot dish. Topped with toasty marshmallow and sweet bourbon glaze, these are tough to beat.

If you just want a larger version of the best flavor from the fry flight, you can now order this one all by itself. This is also perfect for when you finish the fry flight and you're craving more marshmallow-topped deliciousness.
