Attention french fries lovers: Die By Fry, a dedicated loaded fry restaurant, opened this week in Northside.
Why it matters: The restaurant's entire concept is a basket of fries topped with delicious, wildly unhealthy things — like barbecue, chili cheese, bacon and ranch, fajitas, white cheddar and crab, shrimp and wing sauce, and cheese. So much cheese.
The big picture: Die By Fry opened Tuesday at 111 W. Brookland Park Blvd., down the block from owner Ed Maksher's smash burger restaurant, Slay Burger.
- In addition to nearly a dozen loaded fry options ($13.99-$15.99, Die By serves plain, old boring fries, wings, corn dogs, mozzarella sticks and jalapeno poppers ($3.99-$5.99).
- "We made DBF to fulfill the dream of opening a really cool chill spot for everyone to hang out and enjoy what almost everyone loves, which is fries," Maksher tells Axios.
- The restaurant is open Tuesday - Saturday, 11am-10pm and Sundays, noon-6pm. BYOTums.
