Frank Muir is a heckuva nice guy! The Idaho Fry Company Hullabaloo

This blog is about a perfectly good story that was ruined by reality – and its title may well be one of the most shocking and controversial I’ve ever penned. At least you’d be forgiven for thinking so if you paid any attention to the David and Goliath story surrounding the Idaho Potato Commission and the Idaho Fry Company http://idahofrycompany.com/ . It’s certainly a departure from my original title, “The Empire Strikes Back” – but then, that was the one I envisioned before I actually sat down and talked with the Idaho Potato Commission http://www.idahopotato.com/ president, Frank Muir.

Just in case you spent last week in a coma, the broad outline of the controversy in question has to do with the use of the name “Idaho” by a local restaurant, the Idaho Fry Company. Putting on my amateur food critic hat for a brief aside, if you haven’t eaten at the Idaho Fry Company, do yourself a favor and check it out. I guarantee that you’ll never think of french fries in the same way; it’s just that good (this opinion is strictly that of the author and does not reflect those of either the Idaho Business Review or Dolan Media). Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.
