Quotes

"Today we're trying the most famous Dutch fries in Amsterdam, we're here at Fabel Frits."

"The chips are cut fresh at the front of the store, then fried twice to get their super crispy exterior coating."

"Then pretty much a whole block of parmesan cheese is grated onto the fries, alongside a squirt of homemade truffle mayonnaise."

"The fries were seasoned well and super crispy, some were a little bit dry but for 6 euros 50, you're 100% rewarded with all that parmesan cheese and that truffle sauce don't even get me started on it!"

"That sauce is so good you can literally hold my head under it, keep on pumping it until I inflate like a balloon."

"When you say that you want cheesy chips, this is how it should look."

The playful exaggeration about the truffle sauce and the delight in the spicy mayo variation reveal a genuine appreciation for comfort food done with flair.
