Dieters, beware! It’s National French Fry Day. Feel like celebrating? Try one of these five neighborhood restaurants.

1. Hopdoddy Burger Bar – The truffle fries at this burger joint made Buzzfeed’s list of 23 French Fries You Need To Eat Before You Die. That’s a pretty powerful endorsement.

2. Village Burger Bar – Along with more conventional options, Village Burger Bar offers sweet potato fries. Order them tossed with cinnamon and honey for dessert.

3. Snuffer’s – Hand-cut and topped with aged Wisconsin cheddar, Snuffer’s fries aren’t for delicate eaters. Roll up your sleeves and dig in. Think of it as historical research – the recipe has been around since 1978. In honor of National French Fry Day, the restaurant is hosting a photo contest. Snap a picture of your plate and post it here for a chance to win a $100 gift card.

4. Gazeebo Burgers – Worried about calories? Offset your fries (Gazeebo offers sweet potato and regular) with a turkey burger.

5. Liberty Burger – Liberty Burger doesn’t want to reinvent the wheel. Their skinny fries, sprinkled with sea salt, are simple and classic. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” the restaurant says.
