Friday lunch at St. John’s in Sunnyvale. Cheesesteak sandwich was ok; their burgers are better. Also a plate of blue cheese bacon fries. (Canadian friend said it looked like poutine.) Not bad, but it had a rather overwhelming amount of blue cheese. Sour cream didn’t add anything. The flavored ketchups are nice though, but unfortunately there’s no mayonnaise. St. John’s plain fries are better and are crispier than usual for fries in the US.

#Fries and a BLT at Mustard’s Grill SFO before my flight to AMS on the way to #Devoxx. They were rather plain, but they were very hot and fairly crispy which was nice. Looking forward though to some real Vlaamse #Frites!

Crab sandwich with crab fries (fries topped with garlic aioli and crab meat) at a local street festival. Fairly crispy with LOTS of garlic. Turns out that in the US you can get fries topped with mayonnaise as long as it’s called aioli. And it is possible to get good fries in the US, but a) most fries are bad, b) we don’t have dedicated fries shops, so you have to hunt around to find good fries.
