When I gave a cooking demonstration at Chabad of Memphis, I visited the local sights with my friend Angie. We ate at the Holy Cow, located inside the JCC, where I ordered brisket fries. The owner, Shelley Ostrov, sat with me and we chatted about kids, recipes, and Jewish life in Memphis. I became obsessed with the brisket fries and when I got home, I developed my own version that would be perfect to serve to my family at a Shabbat dinner or even at a party.
