Restaurant chain HopCat renames its Crack Fries because 'drug addiction is not a joke'
Signature French fries — served with a drug reference — are getting a name change at gastropub Hopcat's 17 locations across the country.
"While the name Crack Fries was intended to be tongue-in-cheek, drug addiction is not a joke," Mark Gray, CEO of BarFly Ventures, HopCat's parent company, said Monday in a YouTube video and blog post. "The drug crack has devastated many of the communities that we serve."
Menus, signs and posters are being redesigned, with a yet-to-be announced name change in January. The more-than 11-year-old recipe for the beer-battered fries, with salt and pepper among a secret blend of seasonings, is to remain intact.
Besides tap lists ranging to more than 100 different curated beers, Crack Fries are what HopCat is known for. When it opens a restaurant, HopCat has a tradition of offering many of its first customers free Crack Fries for a year. Food Network named them one of "America's 10 Best French Fries."

But you don’t call them that.
