French fries: Crispy, delicious, and arguably one of the best culinary creations on the planet. To satisfy your cravings, New York-based chain #getfried Fry Cafe (yes, the hashtag is part of the name) promises fully loaded gourmet fries when it opens not one, not two, but three new outposts in San Antonio.

San Antonio is the first city outside of New York to receive a #getfried location. Offering five different kinds of fries — classic, coated, curly, waffle, and sweet potato — and more than 20 different toppings like savory chili and sweet Nutella, the San Antonio menu will also feature special ingredients and flavors unique to Texas palates.

The first Alamo City spot will be a food truck that is scheduled to roll out later this summer; the two additional locations won't open until 2017. At the helm is San Antonio native and former Subway franchise owner Craig Christopher.

"It's exciting to pioneer the #getfried concept for my hometown of San Antonio and be a part of the explosive growth I expect this brand will see nationwide," said Christopher. "I truly believe this concept will thrive among consumers in San Antonio and other cities because of its quality product and affordable pricing."

In the meantime, hungry San Antonians will have to wait in anticipation for the food truck's loaded fry debut this summer.

UTSA star Frank Harris crafts signature burger for Southtown eatery

Former UTSA star quarterback Frank Harris is back in San Antonio with a new play: a signature burger at Camp Outpost. Harris has crafted his own specialty burger exclusively for the Southtown eatery.

According to a release, the Frank Harris burger uses the restaurant's classic burger base: an assortment of pickles, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and American cheese, all balanced atop two thick burger patties.

But what makes it touchdown-worthy is a secret signature sauce.

The $16.95 Frank Harris burger is now available at Camp Outpost for a limited time.

"My favorite part of designing the burger was at the end I got to eat it," Harris joked in the release, also crediting the signature secret sauce with elevating the final creation.

Known for his record-setting seven seasons as UTSA's star quarterback from 2017 to 2023, Harris inspired coach Jeff Traylor Traylor to name him one of San Antonio's most popular athletes during a 2023 ESPN interview.

"Everybody knows Frank. Other than Wemby [Spurs draft pick, phenom Victor Wembanyama], I think he's the second most popular. ... I'd say it's Wemby, [Spurs coach Gregg Popovich], Tony Parker, David Robinson, [Manu] Ginobli, [Tim] Duncan, and then Frank's probably in there," Traylor told ESPN.

Known for elevated American fare with wood-fired rotisserie meats, Camp Outpost is an outdoorsy addition to Southtown's diverse dining scene. Its signature silver airstream trailer parked on the patio is easy to spot.

Camp Outpost is open daily from 11 am to 9 pm, at 1811 S. Alamo St.
