Perhaps the Ne Plus Ultra of Fried Food on a Stick
First there was the french-fry-coated hot dog from South Korea. Then Phil Lees, of The Last Appetite tweaked the Korean version, bringing it more in line with Western tastes (complete with recipe).

"Why not just head straight for the bacon?"

Deep-Fried Pizza at
THE ATLANTIC CHIPSHOP
Address: 129 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn NY 11201 [map]
Phone: 718-855-7775

The Skinny: Inspired by the Scots, who have a penchant for deep-frying just about anything, the battered slices at the Atlantic ChipShop taste like a combination of a pizza roll and a mozzarella stick. Very good, if you're into those things.
