Frituur n°1 - Antwerp, Belgium / by Steve Ton

Belgian fries? Yes please. 

Belgian fries? Yes please. 

I'm not sure why we call "fries", French fries. In my time traveling, the Dutch and Belgians are actually known for their fries. We should really call them Dutch fries or Belgian fries. 

If you find yourself in Antwerp, Frituur n°1 is supposedly the best fries in the city. The reason why we know is because we asked a bunch of hip college girls, "Where's the best fries in Antwerp?" The fries are medium cut, tasty, and you can pick a variety of sauces. Eating it becomes a sticky mess with the amount of sauce they put on your fries. A very delicious mess! 

Unless like in America, where we only eat our fries with ketchup (can you say boring?) the Belgians (and Dutch) like to dip their fries in all sorts of fun and crazy things. Try it! And sit in the main square overlooking the beautiful town hall.
