Bargain Bites Goes To Frjtz
Laura Compton shines the Bargain Bite spotlight on the new location of Belgian-fry sanctuary Frjtz. It's hard to go wrong with fries to begin with, but Frjtz shines in plenty of other ways:
The Mission Frjtz - the original in Hayes Valley is about to close and move next door - is bigger and boasts more Euro style, from the French pop soundtrack, skateboards and glass mosaic art by owner Santiago Rodriguez on the wall to a black-and-white, curvilinear Art Nouveau decor by Natasha Shah Designs.But this incarnation of Frjtz is more than just gourmet sauces and delicious fries: they've got crepes and mussels too! Oh, and beer. Lots of fancy Belgian brews and ales and whatnot.An order of frjtz, which stop just short of steak cut, costs $3.25 to $4.75 depending on the number of dips. The 19 offerings range from curry ketchup and creamy wasabi mayo to a surprisingly addictive spicy yogurt peanut. Splurgers can upgrade to white truffle oil frjtz for 75 cents more.
