Look, up in the sky! Er, make that behind the wheel of that car over there.
It’s neither bird nor plane, and it’s certainly not that sappy-faced, beef-slinging Wendy character. No, it’s Fry Girl! A new column in Phoenix New Times’ print edition, where each week we’ll bring you reviews of all food that is fast — from Nogales-style bacon-wrapped hot dogs out of the back of a truck to the latest bacon-piled atrocity offered up by Carl’s Jr.
This week, Fry Girl debuts with a round-up review of fast food fish sandwiches — just in time for those of you about to toss in the Lent towel and order up a Big Mac or three.
And just who, you ask, is that mysterious woman behind the wheel, waiting impatiently at the drive-thru window?
Fry Girl is penned by none other than Chow Bella’s own Laura Hahnefeld.
What?! You don’t read bylines? Then perhaps you will recognize Laura from her booze-filled mornings as Day Drinker. She’s also brought us some culinary delights (more like disasters) in a series called Food Lab 2010.
We can’t wait to see what Fry Girl pulls from the deep-fat fryer next week.
