San Francisco: Frjtz
After brunch, walking around the Moon Festival in Chinatown, and shopping at Powell, we still weren't all that hungry. I know, weaksauce. We weren't looking for a full on dinner, but we knew that we wanted to check out the Mission. That's how we ended up at Frjtz, thinking that we would just share some fries:
From it's exterior, I was expecting the inside to look something along the lines of Chipotle. Instead, I walked into this white, modern oasis with patterned pillows, skateboard wall art, and chandeliers:
I really enjoyed this wall:
Frjtz is known for its Belgian fries and its various dipping sauces. If you order the small for $3.25, you get to choose one sauce. If you order the large for $4.75, you get to choose two. The three of us split the large fries with pesto mayo and wasabi mayo:
The fries were hot and fresh from the fryer. The pesto mayo was amazing, but the wasabi one was disappointing (very faint in wasabi flavor).

Because we always say that we're not hungry but end up eating more, we ordered the Arles mussels:
Only $12 for a huge bowl of seemingly endless mussels cooked in shallots, butter, parsley, garlic, and white wine. The mussels were fantastic, though on the small side and a bit too salty, even for me. Still good though.
Besides the fries and mussels, Frjtz offers a wide selection of burgers and crepes. I definitely wouldn't mind going back to check out the menu some more. As for the fries, Pomme Frites in New York has a much better sauce selection, but I guess Frjtz will have to do until I can visit the Big Apple again.
