The Chipshop

The best fish and chips come from ..... well who really knows...but we all know that 'great' fish and chips come from London (and CT, Santa Cruz...Boston, and NYC). We really don't care why...they have the pound, Harry Potter, cute small cars, bangers and mash, the Beatles, tea time, but more importantly FISH and CHIPS. While watching some cooking show I saw a story on a restaurant, The Chipshop which apparently is known for it's amazing-cholesterol filled food. They are the ones that deep fry snickers, Twinkies, even pizza, and make amazing Fish and Chips. So one day I decided to check it out.

The food was flat out amazing. You know when you're kinda feeling down and want something nice and fried and as luck would have it the restaurant has fish and chips so you order them only to discover that about 15 mins into diving in you're full on the thick crispy batter? That did not happen at The Chipshop. The food makes you finally discover that it's not the fish that makes Fish and Chips sooo good, it's the batter!!!! You almost want more as soon as you're done, but the deep fried snickers and Twinkies really cause your undoing. As Mr. Baseball (movie) once said, "Japan takes everything and makes it her own," I know it's the same for NYC. Check it out some time...you'll love it! They even have recession special, and don't forget to order the supposedly spicy Ginger beer (it's damn good!)
