Ketchup by the Barrel

French Fry Heaven, one of the food outlets at The Woodlands Mall in The Woodlands, Texas, offers nothing but French fries. “We have over fifty flavors and seasonings,” says owner Kim Davis. “I would say the favorite is the loaded baked potato,” she says. “It has ranch dressing. It has melted cheese. It has bacon and chives.” For dessert, “We have one called the Festival, which has sugar on it and it tastes just like a funnel cake with vanilla icing on top.” The outlet is the first of a planned national chain.
