I understand. I'm a San Francisco native, and I used to love the Garlic Fries at SF Giants games. But now, they aren't the best in the City. You can find fresher (and cheaper) versions at plenty of restaurants around.

This hits so many unreasonably emotional spots for me 😂

Rarely will I eat utensil-less in front of a date I don’t yet trust. But one game I went with a tinder/okcupid esque match, and he bought a tub of crabfries for us. My heart said “deeply approve” while my face said “wtf do you want from me!”

Crabfries were definitely made to be enjoyed by shoving them into your mouth-hole, cheese and all. Not by taking painstaking restraint to avoid showing cavewoman behavior.

Exactly! Crabfries are meant be eaten like you a savage who hasn’t eaten anything in a week. There is no dainty or civilized way to eat Crabfries. Especially in front of a date.

Lovingly-ish I say: Of course it's in Philly that they sell a gazillion Crabfries with no crab in them.

I get it. Being from Cincinnati, everybody that travels there has an opinion about Skyline Chili. All I can tell people is it’s not for everybody.

I'm shocked, shocked, to find that there's no crab in Crabfries! 🤯

I don't usually get them at Phillies games, but somehow they've become my airport go-to snack. If a C&P is in the terminal I'm definitely getting them, especially in the international terminal because I'm usually there way early and Crabfries and a Yuengling seem like a good send off from the US.

Just had some crab fries at the Chickie's & Pete's in Marlton over the weekend. I gotta say, it hit the spot. I think they increased the amount of Old Bay on them suckers. My tastebuds were overstimulated! haha
