People Ask Fry We're Around?
Even if you've never traveled to this corner of the universe, the sight of Daglas on its busy stretch of Roscoe is calculated to bring you cheer. The curved, soaring sign is as exuberant as Los Angeles during the mid-'60s: Yellow balls perch on iron crenellations around the perimeter of the roof like jewels atop a crown, and a sharp, garlicky scent of pastrami lingers through the char-burger smoke.
Although many people claim that the stand has moved to skimpier portions, the heft of a serving of fries here may be unsurpassed. A small order to go plumps out a paper bag to the size of a cannonball; a large order rises like an alp from its plastic cafeteria tray, enough to fatten a small, potato-loving village.
Daglas fries are hand-cut from fresh potatoes, and like Belgian fries are blanched in relatively cool oil before they are finished in hot fat. If you discount oddball molecular-gastronomy methods of cooking potatoes, this two-step frying method is pretty much the only way to make fresh potatoes both crisp and fluffy.
OMG.. THE FRIES! A must whenever I'm back in SoCal!
Daglas is from a time when fast food represented the freedom of the American road rather than the talons of the American oligarchy, when each restaurant had its own beloved idiosyncrasies, and the faint air of disrepute owed more to the raffish customer base than to the calorie count of the grilled cheese sandwich with pastrami.
This is the Daglas slogan: "Where every day is Fryday!'' And who can argue with that?.
My job takes me all over the world. The fries bring me back to LA. Over and over again.
Great Food. Everyday!
