out a two-story house in Chicago,
the home will be adorned with an array of fry themed decorations
from giant French fry inflatables and extravagant holiday lights,
to trees and shrubbery covered in themed ornaments - showcasing the
ultimate testament to potato love.

as he plays the ultimate fanboy, he passionately educates his
neighbor on the significance of National French Fry Day as a
national holiday. Eric will also be sharing his go-to recipe
