The New Best Fries in Memphis?

Look out, Young Ave. Deli – the Brass Door has only been open for a few weeks, but I think they’re already trying to claim your “best fries in Memphis” honors.
Check out this paper cone full of tastiness that I got at the Brass Door:
The fries – excuse me, chips – are salty perfection. They’re crispy on the outside and light and mushy in the middle. They’re generously sprinkled with sea salt flakes, and they come with a side of curry dipping sauce. They’re also good with ketchup. They’d probably be good with just about any dipping sauce. Or on their own. Whatever.
Behind the fries, you’ll see a sandwich. It’s a wee tiny Cuban and it was the “slider of the day” when I was there. The daily special comes served in sets of threes.
The Brass Door is open daily from 11 a.m. – 2 a.m. If you stop by, be sure to explore the extremely pretty building (it used to house a tobacco shop). If there aren’t any seats on the first floor, head up to the mezzanine or to the “Cavern” – aka, the basement – big room with a stage for live music.

I totally agree. Great flavor, texture, and the salt they use is special somehow.
Also – the Irish Breakfast… delicious.

A great place for a pint, with great food also– how can you go wrong? The proprietor, Seamus is also a great guy. Good Luck to the Brass Door!

Eat them with malt vinegar. They are certainly stiff downtown competition for the fries at Majestic.

It wasn’t until the second time I ate them that my waiter told me (AFTER I ate them) they are cooked in duck fat and lard! I’m vegetarian. Oops. This should be stated on the menu. They are fantastic though =) Love The Brass Door!

I agree; these are some of the best fries — well, chips — I’ve ever eaten. I’ve already been to the Brass Door three times since it opened. Nothing I’ve had there has been anything short of delicious!
