Santa Monica: We’re feeling the California love at Santa Monica, where the kitchen crew dish up some damn tasty takes on street-style fries. The classic combo of cheese and bacon is taken up a notch with cheeky jalapenos and the pulled pork offering is pure decadence. Vegetarians can get in on the action with the bruschetta-inspired street fries with sour cream and guac.

Ze Pickle: Chippies and beer and a classic combo, and Ze Pickle have cut out the middleman with their take on loaded fries. In addition to maple-smoked bacon and their signature ZP sauce, these bad boys are smothered in an IPA beer cheese sauce that simply must be tasted to be believed.

Mr Burger: Sick of the hype yet? We’re not, because Mr Burger is effin’ delicious. Deal with it.

Two superfoods converging as one? Shut up and take our money.

Brooklyn Depot: The skinny fries at Brooklyn Depot stand alone as moreish morsels of snackage, but patrons are given the option to Brooklynise their fries for a little extra. With the addition including bacon, crispy onion strings, cheese and fried pickle coins, it’s well worth the upgrade.
