Persian fries delight at Noon O Kabab in Albany Park

Over the years, I've scarfed my share of fries topped with chili, cheese, giardiniera, feta, mapo tofu, truffles and more.

• But I'd never seen the combo Noon O Kabab showers over its Persian fries ($9.50).

The bite: Thin cut, crispy potato wedges topped with pickles, raw onion, Persian salad, crumbled feta and spices.

The verdict: I like the idea less than the actual dish, which left me smelling like a wild (Chicago) onion at a social event right after my scarfage.
