At Don’t Tell Mama, the fries are served with real kimchi; none of that artificial kimchi powder you may get at some other places.
The fries are drizzled with generous amounts of homemade kimchi mayo, with extra jalapenos and onions for that sharp, spicy kick.
There are also chunks of pulled pork hidden within the dish to make it more filling.
It’s definitely something we’d order as a meal instead of just as a snack.
