| - I had not previously had frites before my trip to Mad City, so I can't speak on authenticity or compare them to others around town. I can say that they were tasty and crazy filling. Having never been before and making the awesome, adult life choice to eat fries for dinner, my boyfriend and I each ordered a large frites. A small order comes with one sauce, and a large comes with two - as a sauce lover, I figured I might as well just go for the large since it was the same cost as a small with an extra sauce. I did not need a large. My boyfriend and I could have easily split one. Having four sauces, though, was awesome. I regret nothing.
Mad Sauce - their signature, I couldn't put my finger on the exact flavor but I'm guessing it was ketchup, mayo, and maybe something else.
Game Day Garlic - I want all the garlic, and sadly this mostly just tasted like a sweet mayo.
Bascom Hill BBQ - tasty, thick barbecue sauce.
Isthmus Honey Mustard - one of the best honey mustards I've had. A really good balance. Probably my favorite of the four, which surprised me.
The frites themselves were extra thick and extra crispy. The insides were creamy and piping hot. Like, insanely hot. Due to the thick crust they stayed hot for the duration. It's a double-edged sword - nobody likes cold fries, but it's also nice to not burn your mouth. Snapping the frites in half helped let the steam escape and come down to an acceptable temperature.
Looking forward to trying a few more of their sauces!
