Village Draft House - Pickle Chips - Raleigh, North Carolina

Slice dill pickles, batter them, deep-fat fry them, and dip 'em in ranch dressing and you've got yourself a bit of napalm heaven (because you won't be able to wait until they're cool enough to touch). I know it sounds unbelievable, bizarre even, but this hot tartar sauce, heavy on the pickle, is what keeps me going back to an otherwise mediocre restaurant/ale house. I have to be careful, though: too many pickle chips at one time will spoil them for me for a month or so. It's easy to overdo it.
