“Crazy Fries! M and my wife went out of town one weekend with our son and stopped at this place, and we wanted to try the fries out. So we tried it he enjoyed them was like hey, we can do that. So one weekend we sat over one our friend’s house and we sold fries from there, and I mean we had her driveway lined up with cars everybody want to try those fries. So they came by and we was like Hey, this something we can do and just bring it to the area. So we started from our house making fries. Every weekend and we were selling out. So someone called us about a building here and said hey I got this building if y’all are interested. You still definitely come by so, from that point on we’ve been here. They’re Crazy Fries,” said Jimet Young, co-owner of Crazy Fries.
“Everybody likes french fries. So they’re easy to access and get your hands on and you put stuff on top of them and that just takes it up a whole another another notch,” said Brandi.
“We have ghetto fries that’s one of my favorites. That’s Taco seasoned taco meat, guac sauce, sour cream, flaming hot Cheetos. I mean it’s just the explosion in your mouth when you try those right there. Then we have a barbecue fries. That’s our pool pork that my wife she smokes them and I mean they’re they’re good. And then Nashville hot. She has a Nashville Hot Chicken we do Fried Chicken on top of the fries and she has queso cheese, and then she has the Nashville hot sauce she does herself. We have Chicken Baker ranch, and you can get that fried or just plain chicken Baker Ranch, and also another one is Rotel now that’s the baby right there; Rotel. So that’s just a few to get started,” said Jimet.
