Golden West has good ones.

I had lunch at Outlaws BBQ this week, and got the sweet potato fries with my pulled chicken BBQ platter. They were a little greasier than I've gotten from other places, but they were delicious!

As an aside, they served squeeze bottles of "Tom's White Ketchup" that was absolutely perfect on the chicken. Not ketchup at all, it was a mayo/sour cream combo that had some spices in it that I couldn't quite identify. It could be called savory rather than spicy but it was excellent.

I wish they had an Outlaws BBQ in Baltimore, I like them better than the Big Bad Wolf. BBW is okay, but Outlaws is better. I haven't tried the Alabama BBQ place in Lauraville, perhaps their BBQ in white sauce is the same thing?

Annabel lee Tavern for the sweet potato fries- sweet and spicy!

Jack's bistro has by far the best I have had!!

Wait a minute, you mean there is a time of year when sweet potato fries don't sound good?

An excellent point. EL

PCB Rob, that "Tom's White Ketchup" sounds suspiciously like Ranch Dressing.

I would love for a top 10 Italian Subs or perhaps a top 10 places to get specialty meats.

Donna's "sweet fries" are my favorite.

mmmcorn - second top 10 Italian Subs!

Laura Lee,

I thought the same thing as well at first. But its not ranch dressing, which I don't like. This stuff had a different tang to it and went real well with the taste of smoked meat.

hands down: Paper Moon Diner

I really do like the Miss Shirley's fries. I could eat a whole cone by myself, easy.

I also love this top ten. So specific, perfectly timed and just awesome.

Here is my deal with sweet potato fries - I think regular fries are so great that I would never choose sweet potato fries over regular fries. If I have a choice and I am going to go down that dark road of calories and fat, I'm going wth the regular fries. I have tasted other people's sweet potato fries and they are okay, but only if you don't have good regular fries as a choice.

PCB Rob--was there horseradish in the white ketchup?

I second Annabel Lee Tavern's!

My friend Maggie loves Paper Moon's, but rather than regular fries, they're mashed and then re-formed into fry shapes or something. That's one of the things she likes so much about them, but I found it a bit odd. But it could make for a variation-on-the-theme item on the list.

hands down: Paper Moon Diner

Paper Moon's old SPFs were the best: shaped a little like nuggets, they were crispy on the outside and were filled with what seemed like melted sweet potato in the middle. Alas, the last few times we were there, they were using shoestring cuts for the SPF, Not bad, but definitely not worth a special trip from Paradise.

Does anyone serve duck fat sweet potato fries?

Dahlink,
No, there was no horseradish in the white ketchup. That is what I thought it might be when I first tried it.

Its kind of hard to describe, but it was really good. I'd say more savory than spicy though.

PCB Rob et. al. -- my copy of Steven Reichlen's BBQ USA opens automatically to the page describing Alabama Barbecued Chickens with White Barbecue Sauce. The sauce is made with mayonnaise, cider vinegar, horseradish, salt, red & black pepper. It is tasty on a variety of things. I like the one served at Alabama BBQ on Harford Road, though I'd prefer a little more horseradish.

I agree with Annabelle Lee!

Thanks MD Canon!
I wouldn't have guessed it had horseradish in it, perhaps the version I had was a little light on the stuff.

Red Star's sweet potato fries are so good. Unfortunately, I have not had them for more than a year because Red Star's service is such an atrocity.

RiE - I don't know the answer to that, but, YUM! If anybody does have duck fat sweet potato fries, I'm so there! (...if there's no angled back in parking, LOL!)

Annabel Lee is a definite, but surprisingly Little Havana's are quite good too!

Does Andy Nelson's BBQ offer white bbq sauce? I think Nelson is from Alabama?

Andy Nelson's does not offer white bbq sauce. His Alabama sauce is similar to what I think of Kansas City. Kind of sweet and red.

Artful Gourmet Bistro...they rival Miss Shirley's sans the tasty sauces.

Welp, looks like EL will have enough nominees for a Top 10 Sweet Potato Fries week. BUT, when she gets around to Top 10 Italian Cold Cut Subs, I heartily nominate Pastore's in Towson. GOD it's good!

Great idea for a list. EL

We doing Italian cold cut subs, too? Isabella's and DiPasquale's in Highlandtown both have excellent versions. Bouillabaisse Cafe and the Alley Cafe (across from the Walter's) both have better than average versions, too.

Gertrude's serves SPF with its BBQ pork entree. Very good!

For lunch downtown, my vote is for Trinacria's Italian cold cut sub.

to cover the county Italian cold cuts, Scittinos in Catonsville and Santonis of Glyndon.

Are we doing Italian cold cut subs now?

DiPasquale's in Highlandtown. (Actually, anything from DiPasquale's)

Palmisano's in Parkville.

Giovanna's - Parkville-ish inside the city line.

Italian cold cuts! Anna Maria Trattoria in Fed Hill. Killer bread, REAL Italian meats, good provolone. Mmmmm.

Eve,
Palmisano's used to be good but we stopped getting them there after subs would be mostly onion it seemed.

Much better is Olympia in the Parkville Shopping Center, or Seasons Pizza at the corner of Joppa and Old Harford.

Yum, making me hungry just thinking of a good ol' Italian cold cut from Baltimore. Haven't found a decent sub shop here yet.

Genova's in Parkville (off of Loch Raven BLVD) used to have great toasted ICCs. Ever since the original owner sold it, I haven't had one so I don't know if it has changed. Ahh, to heat or not to heat...That is the question.

Ah, FL Rob, I gave Olympia's a couple of tries when they first opened/changed hands. The guys behind the counter were only able to "see" their buddies who came in and after the 3rd time (it's nearby, I wanted it to work out!) that I had to loudlu interrupt a conversation to be waited on, or the guys 2 people behind me in line were waited on while those of us in between were skipped over, I declared them dead to me.

Trixie - always heat especially if you can toast the buns!

Genova's in Parkville (off of Loch Raven BLVD)

Is that area thought of as Parkville nowadays? I wouldn't expect anyone to remember Baynesville anymore, but it seems closer to Towson than Parkville.

I don't believe I ever went to Genova's as an adult, but I have strong childhood memories of by father getting pizzas with anchovies from there. I didn't yet know that anchovies were something that many people seem to fear.

Hal - You are right. I believe that area has been going through an identity crisis for the past few years. I live on the side of Loch Raven blvd that is considered Parkville, but if you cross over LRB that is Towson. However, Genova's is on my side, just down the street, and that is considered Towson. And they also had great pizza!

Loch Raven Village seems to have become a more-used location, lately.

Eve,
I've never had a problem ordering at Olympia. Usually I am the only one in there. I was last there in October and was in and out pretty quickly with my carryout order.
