Family dinner- Macon Fry Fight

We did the burger tour of Macon.  Last night was French Fry fight. It was fun. We were able to hit 5 spots. First stop was the favorite dispute the lack of A/C in the building. We do love LaBella always. They were my favorite of the night on flavor. (Nine are our pictures because we were living the moment!)


Next was Rookery: ok but not in my top two/three

First bite seemed to me like a Big Mac but I wasn’t a fan. We DID get some fried pickle spears here as well that were LOVELY. The fries. Meh. 

Next up was a “to go” as time was running out as we started at 6 and most ended at 8pm. We wanted to get at least one dessert fries

We ate them AFTER Fall-Line the raspberry had a weird bitter taste and there was discussion about if there was cinnamon or not. It wasn’t horrible but not a super fan favorite. 

Fall Line was ok as well. The curly fries were a good touch!


After lots of discussion as it was 7:30pm and most would end at 8 or 9. So we talked Angela into going to Piedmont against her will!!  She survived and chatted with her co-workers and I got to enjoy this: 


The mac and cheese with the brisket that was super tender. I was doing good only having one/two fries and mostly topping in the first three. THIS one is where I literally ate 1/2 of this tray!  They were so good!!  Because I had only eaten a few bites of each of the first three without the potatoes I wasn’t as full as the rest. Liz was wanting some Mac and cheese from Piedmont. She and I were the only a bit hungry at the end. So we went and it was worth it. Honestly this was a tie for number one. BUT LaBella won out for the lightness and zip in the flavor. 

We had a good night. We all went home fat and happy. I drove us home at 9:45 which was well past my bed time but it was worth it 😃
