The Ultimate French Fries of Philly

"The iconic pairing of mussels and French fries (known as moules-frites) has origins in Northern France and Belgium, but a flight isn’t necessary to get a taste of them in Philly. Center City’s Belgian cafe, Monk’s, has a menu full of mussels ready to be enjoyed alongside a fresh plate of its pomme-frites." - George Banks-Weston
