TGI Fry-Day: Greek Fries at Astoria's BZ Grill
Explorations of the frying arts.
Who doesn't love french fries? We've long been looking for New York's best, and decided that the city's fries deserved more than a post—they needed a column of their own. Here's TGI Fry-Day, your weekly dose of deliciousness. Got a nomination? Let us know. —The Mgmt.

In late April, I gave you the rundown on the amazing gyro sandwich at Astoria's BZ Grill for SENY's A Sandwich a Day feature. In the comments SE'r Allot said, "The Greek fries here are the most insanely delicious thing ever." Well, thank goodness for T.G.I. Fryday, because now I can give this mad plate of insane deliciousness its proper due. (And thank you, Allot, for the rec!)
I don't think I have to say much about these things. I mean, look at that stack, will you? BZ Grill tops a bed of thick, crisp-yet-tender french fries with a veritable goat's worth of salty, sharp feta cheese and a drizzle of olive before putting it all under the broiler for some added crispness.
The fries seem to be the type that uses a coating of potato starch for extra crispness — if you've had Burger King's fries, you know what I'm talking about.
The Greek fries are listed on the menu under "appetizers," but they're almost a meal in and of themselves. If you're ordering the impeccable and hearty gyro sandwich as your main (and you should), I advise you to bring a friend along; you're going to need help finishing this plate.
As of publication date, the price is an inexplicable $5.03. Why the extra 3¢? I don't know.
