Hopdoddy: Bottomless Fries for 4/20
Not that we'd ever *cough, cough* advocate anyone smoking Satan's Perfidious Shrubbery, citizen.Because, as it's well known, we're all a bunch of straitlaced, puritanical, pearl-clutching, joy-oppressors here at the Austin Chronicle.But if you should somehow happen to be a little, what do the freaks call it, stoned? If you happen to inadvertantly wind up a little stoned on this day – or even if you're not, tbh – we can't imagine a better place to be than at any of the Hopdoddy's locations in this city.That's because Hopdoddy is featuring all-you-can-devour, dine-in specials on their verifiably craveworthy fry varieties, including cult favorite parmesan truffle, green chili queso, hot honey and sage sweet potato, BBQ ranch, buffalo, nacho, and handcut Chipperbec fries – all served up with an array of housemade dipping sauces, yes.(We also hear their burgers aren't too shabby, y'know? We – *puff, puff* – OK, fuck it, full disclosure: We love these guys.) -

An eyeful of sculptural creations, threaded multiples, that are hung, draped, twisted, and manipulated toward a pattern-rich kinesis. This show, tell you what, it's sublime.Through May 15 -
