Being as how you are reading this blog, you are probably the type of person that follows regional and national food trends pretty closely. You know the best burger or pizza slice to try in cities you've never visited before. You drink coffee out of a mug that says 'bacon' on it. You believe that classic edibles belong in their very own museum. To that last point, you are finally getting your wish. New York City has a temporary French fry museum.

The exhibit shows off more than 100 classic NYC frites from all over the five boroughs, locked away behind glass cylinders as if they were priceless works of art (they are.) The exhibit outlines the history of fries, as well as the history behind all of the various condiments that makes dipping so much fun. The brains behind all of this historical vegetable oil are a design firm called Guild and a niche condiment maker called Sir Kensington's.

Unfortunately, this scholastic salute to fried spuds will only be open to the public for two days, this weekend. You had better book your plane ticket now, unless you already live in New York City in which all bets are off.
