@shakeshacksg Black Truffle Fries ($8.90) marks a return to form for the Shack’s renowned fries. The last time round, I ordered the Steakhouse fries and got stale, stodgy spuds and a distressing lack of sauce. This time, the fries were nearly fresh out the fryer, and they’re sauced to the socks.⠀

Just like with the burger, the fantastic fries were doused with black truffle mayo and garnished with crispy fried shallots and scallions. The gratifyingly crisp fries got an extra boost from the shallots, and that truffle mayo turns the excellent fries into godly fries. The intoxicating essence of truffle permeates everything, turning the spuds into an amazingly aromatic experience, while the rich creaminess of the mayonnaise turns the lusciousness up to eleven.

However, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing, as the mountain of fab fries combined with the hedonism of the truffle mayo and the fried scallions got too much to bear after the halfway mark. These breathtaking Black Truffle Fries demand to be washed down with a pint of four of Shake Shack’s Shackmeister ale, and to be shared with friends (may or may not come with benefits). Tis the season of giving after all, no?
