Atlanta, Georgia-headquartered Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux is elevating its fry game with the launch of exclusive french fry creations in celebration of National French Fry Day in the USA, kicking off a month-long celebration. Starting Friday, July 12, and available through the end of the month, the sports bar and restaurant franchise, which operates upwards of 100 outlets in 14 states, will be featuring three limited-time fry offers: Buffalo Chicken Cheese Fries, Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Waffle Fries and Pulled Pork Waffle Cheese Fries, along with the brand’s signature Waffle Cheese Fries.
A true “knife and fork” experience, each of these fry innovations is built upon a foundation of Walk-On’s signature waffle fries. A top-selling item since the Bistreaux first opened 20 years ago in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Chef John Hagen praises the waffle fries for their size and shape, making them the ideal for delivering delectable bites loaded with flavor.
“As we dreamed up new menu items in celebration of National French Fry Day, we wanted to showcase both creativity and the versatility of our signature waffle fries,” said Hagen. “We taste-tested our way through multiple combinations, adding some of our most popular menu items and landed on savory waffle fry dishes that satisfy our loyal fans looking for shareable and satisfying starter options.”
Descriptions of the offerings follow:
