Truffle fries are great, but the food fad has somewhat lost its novelty and we think spam fries make for a stellar, meatier alternative.
Those in the mood for the dish done well should grab the gang and pay a visit to TAP Craft Beer Bar on Thursdays. Order any of their unique craft brews and you’ll enjoy free-flow of this delightfully greasy, porky snack.
