Blake's on Telegraph in Berkeley, CA Part 1



I made a very unexpected fry stop with friends last Friday, and Blakes on Telegraph was the stop (sadly, their logo reminds me of the Eva Joia Club from the 80s).
Fries of the Sweet Potato variety were the first to be investigated (these were stolen off of various friends' plates). They were pretty good for bar grub, but very underseasoned, and the innards were a bit mushier than I prefer. When ordered alone, they come with ranch dressing. The ranch dressing is nothing to write home about, but it's a nice added touch. The Sweet Potato Fries from Blakes get an okay grade from me!
