Clue: The menu's posted somewhere on Meal Ticket ...

If this is too hard, I'll add an interior shot, but it's a dead giveaway.

i give it a month before Pete from Chickie's and Pete's tries to slap a lawsuit on them. They have it as "Crab Cheese Fries" on the menu, right?  I don't know if that is ok by his frozen fry , over spiced Seafood Holiness.

Re: the fries (tasty!): Yes, they're listed as "crab cheese fries" on Varga's menu, so I guess they sidestepped that quite deftly. C&P's has no grounds to hate anyway since they don't actually put crab on theirs. (I believe the first person to roll that style out in Philly was Ross Essner at Taproom on 19th, soon to be at The Blockley/Mary Oaks.) 



Brussels: Little heavy on the balsamic for my tastes, but cooked really well.

Chickie's has no ground to hate at all, but they sue people as far as New England if they find out you are using their words.  Watch out he doesn't sue Meal Ticket!!

how can you even compare processed cheese fries to real crab and homemade cheese sauce topped fries??? they were so good the first time i had them, that i asked for the crab goodness to top my fries with the fish and chips.(the best in the city!)
