I know you're wondering when I had time to go to Belgium (which I would love, love, love to do), but this is actually a picture from the other night at Rudy's bar in New Haven. They serve frites with all kinds of sauces (too bad they one let you pick one for free). We did the curry ketchup, which was nice, but I could have done quite an extensive sampling!
I'm also super-psyched because I got this Belgian trappist monk beer-- Westmalle. It's from only one of seven trappist monastery breweries in the world. And it was delightful with the frites-- soft and creamy with a little fruity-hoppiness. Proof that beer can really be better at food pairings than wine.
Rudy's is a fantastic dive bar (despite the fact that they only have one ladies' room) so it's not limited to just Belgian-wish-fulfillment.
