LA Gets a Gloriously Weird Gourmet French Fry Truck

July 29, 2009 at 1:04 PM | by | Comments (0)

In the great gourmet food truck race of 2009, LA is slowly creeping up on New York, with some great meals-on-wheels like Kogi’s Korean BBQ, and the organic food served by Green Truck on the Go. But as much as we enjoy having the healthy food trucks, we’re excited to see LaLa land ante up with some decidedly less good-for-you gourmet food.

The FrySmith truck is getting ready to hit the streets of LA next week, and as far as we know, it’s the nation’s first food truck serving exclusively upscale French fries.

Frysmith’s hand-cut Kennebec potatoes—or sweet potatoes if you prefer—are fried in canola oil and topped with some wonderfully out-there options, like beer-and-chocolate-laced chili; fire-roasted poplano chiles, caramelized onion and shwarma-marinated steak; or kimchi and heirloom pork. But they don’t go so gourmet as to forget the all-important gooey melted cheddar cheese as well.

For those of you holding your hearts and reeling in horror, don’t forget this is LA, so of course there’s a vegan option as well. But it’s just as tantalizingly strange: organic tomato and mixed beans with soy chorizo and smoked paprika, served with or without cheese.
