Sorry, couldn't resist. Thought some of you might enjoy this video re: Big "turkey fries" fry in Illinois. Never sampled them, but "oyster fry" fries are a tradition here in Oklahoma; our F.F.A. used to have a big one every year. We have a local cafe in OKC, called "Cattlemen's Cafe" that is famous for its lamb fries nationwide, or so they claim. The best by far that I have ever eaten, calf fries, were at the "Big Texan" restaurant in Amarillo, right on I-40. I recommend them highly; order a HALF ORDER, or you'll be asking for a take-out box. If you're lucky, there will be someone there who is trying for the free 72 oz. steak, which you have to eat in an hour if you want it free.
I guess I never thought of Illinois as having the rural culture associated with the enjoyment of turkey fries, but I recall the one time I went through there, I saw some of the most beautiful, well kept farms, with some of the riches soil in the world. What about some of the rest of you, are turkey fries and mountain oysters popular in your areas?
P.S. I own no stock or interest of any kind in the obove-referenced restaurants.
