Pray to the Lord…Of The Fries
At this point it’s no secret that Set Your Goals LOVES Lord Of The Fries. And sure enough, first thing we did when we got to Melbourne was go straight there.
On this first trip there (don’t worry, we went there more than once…I’ll be discussing each time) I gorged on some poutine, a spicy mini burger, and chicken nuggets. To the unfortunate souls who still for some reason haven’t gotten down on some poutine, it’s a French Canadian dish of fries with gravy and cheese. Although LOTF is far from French Canada, they still serve up a mean dish of poutine. Delicious as always. This was my first time eating the spicy mini burger, but since my spice tolerance has been going up these days I was able to handle it well, jalapeños and all. Let’s talk about those nuggets though…first off they’re fake meat (everything at LOTF is vegan…burgers too), and I love fake chicken meat. Something about all that gluten just hits the spot. They’re also pretty new too and since I’m all about new noms I had to get some. Glad I did, they’re now my favorite thing at the Lord. I got them covered in Thai peanut sauce. So good.
On our second day in Melbourne and second trip to LOTF I got a box of fries covered in Vietnamese chili cheese sauce and Japanese wasabi mayo. The Vietnamese topping used to be a cream sauce topped with a separate chili sauce but it seems like they’ve switched it up to a sauce that’s more of a mix of the two. Still good though; a bit spicy but very tasty. The wasabi mayo was good too, but it was really reminiscent of the Belgian mayo, like maybe they just added wasabi powder to that. It was the special sauce of the month though, so I figured I had to try it because I might not have a chance to next time. And of course I had to fill up on my new favorite, nuggets with Thai peanut sauce.
On our third and sadly final Lord outing we changed things up and went to the Central location in downtown Melbourne. I kind of liked this one a bit more than the Flinders St. spot.
I had fries with Belgian mayo and a chicken burger. Despite the fact it’s called mayo, it really tastes nothing like mayonnaise. I would never eat my fries with straight mayo…I believe there’s a section of hell reserved for people who do this. LOTF’s Belgian mayo is more like a thick ranch than anything else, and pretty damn delicious too. The (fake) chicken burger was pretty good, but I should have stuck to the nuggets. Next time.
Well, as you can tell at this point my band and I love Lord Of The Fries. A lot. So much so that we discussed it and on our next trip to Australia we’ll be getting some sweet LOTF tattoos. It’ll be the perfect testament of our love of the Lord.
