In celebration of National Fry Day on Friday, July 12, Lion’s Choice, the iconic St. Louis restaurant renowned for its roast beef sandwiches, award-winning fries, and creamy frozen custard, is launching a mouthwatering new menu item: ‘Trashed Fries.’ This innovative offering brings a delectable twist to their famous fries, introducing three unique variations: Chili Cheese Fries, Italian Beef Fries, and Chipotle Ranch Fries.
A New Way to Enjoy Iconic Fries
Lion’s Choice has long been a staple in the Midwestern fast-casual dining scene, and their fries have garnered a loyal following over the years. With the introduction of ‘Trashed Fries,’ fans now have a new way to savor their beloved fries, complete with flavorful toppings that elevate the fry experience.
Chili Cheese Fries
A familiar favorite, the Chili Cheese Fries have been a popular choice among Lion’s Choice patrons for years. These fries are generously smothered in savory chili and the restaurant’s signature cheddar cheese sauce, offering a comforting and satisfying option for fry enthusiasts.
Italian Beef Fries
For those craving a hearty meal, the Italian Beef Fries are a must-try. Inspired by Lion’s Choice’s Italian Beef Sandwich, this fry variant is topped with rich gravy, cheddar sauce, and a choice of mild or hot peppers, bringing the robust flavors of the sandwich into fry form.
Chipotle Ranch Fries
If you’re in the mood for a bit of spice, the Chipotle Ranch Fries won’t disappoint. These fries are drenched in zesty Chipotle Ranch and cheddar sauces, then sprinkled with crispy bacon crumbles and the brand’s famous seasoning, offering a tantalizing blend of flavors and textures.
Committed to Customization
“Adding ‘Trashed Fries’ to the menu is another part of our ongoing commitment to give customers more customizable options,” says Lion’s Choice CEO Fred Burmer. “We know that fans have been making their own loaded fry creations at Lion’s Choice for a while now, so we decided to make it a bit easier for them. Each version of our new trashed fries is a unique twist on the award-winning fries we’re known for, so we’re confident guests will love them.”
This move is in line with Lion’s Choice’s tradition of innovation and catering to their customers’ evolving tastes. Earlier this year, the brand introduced “The Remix,” a revamped version of their Original Roast Beef Sandwich, showing their dedication to keeping the menu fresh and exciting.
The Secret to Perfect Fries
Lion’s Choice’s fries stand out not just for their taste but also for their quality. Made with 100% real Idaho potatoes, these gluten-free fries undergo a meticulous three-step process of brining, blanching, and flash-frying to ensure maximum crispiness and a perfectly salty flavor. This method has been a hallmark of Lion’s Choice since they opened their first location over 56 years ago, contributing to the fries’ enduring popularity.
With the launch of ‘Trashed Fries,’ Lion’s Choice continues to honor its legacy while embracing new trends and customer preferences. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a first-time visitor, these new fry creations are sure to offer a delightful and satisfying culinary experience. Don’t miss out on trying them this National Fry Day!
