Downtown Macon restaurants are getting ready for the Fourth Annual French Fry Fight, set to begin this week.

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Downtown Macon restaurants are getting ready for the Fourth Annual French Fry Fight, set to begin this week. This year, the competition is expanding from a one-day event to a three-day celebration in honor of National Fry Day. From July 9 through July 11, 23 local restaurants will dish out unique, creative takes on the classic French fry.

Each participating restaurant will serve its specialty fry dish at its own location. Diners can sample the offerings and cast their vote for the best fries online at newtownmacon.com. The restaurant with the most votes will take home the  “Super Spud” award—along with serious bragging rights.
