Shojo
9 Tyler St.
Boston, MA 02111
(617) 423-7888

Shojo is a popular Asian-fusion pub with a couple of creative takes on french fries. Firstly, the potatoes are fried in duck fat. This in itself is enough to create a rich and flavorful fried potato. Every order is cooked this way, but diners can also add a twist that they will not find anywhere else. Order the fries "shadowless" and get a bizarre mixture of kimchi and cheese sauce with spicy tofu. The whole mess looks deceptively like a standard chili cheese fry, but don't be fooled.
