Ida Mae's: A King Among Potato Chips

20070828idamaes.jpg

Fishtown brunch (and now dinner) spot Ida Mae's Bruncherie just got a shotout from Uwishunu for their homemade potato chips:

What I do need to tell you about is Ida Mae’s potato chips. I know, it’s such a small thing, but it’s important. I am usually disappointed when a restaurant serves a sandwich with chips. It’s like the restaurant is saying, “We like you. But we don’t like you enough to give you fries, which we know full well are more delicious.” And then they throw one of those shiny silver bags of Wise chips on your plate and consider themselves done with you. But Ida Mae’s chips. Holy crap. They’re fresh and homemade and the most amazingly thin potato chips I’ve ever consumed. I think they’re laser cut. And I know this might be sacrilegious to say, but: they’re better than fries. Yes, that’s right: better than fries.

Mmm... Crunchy [Uwishunu]
