Lord of the Fries Newtown Opening

If you're an inner west fan of God's gift to vegetables — that is, chips — boy, do we have some news for you. Melbourne-born ethical fast food institution, and promoter of some of the best chips in the universe, Lord of the Fries is opening a store in Newtown.

The much-loved Aussie chippery first hit the streets in 2004 as a food truck in Melbourne and opened its first Sydney store back in 2013. The Lord's offerings sit atop a 100 percent vegetarian menu, using oil free of chemicals, preservatives and animal products. In addition to the addictive fries, menu items include plant-based patties, hot dogs, nuggets and shakes, as well as its recently launched all-day breakfast and vegan ice cream sandwiches.

To celebrate the opening of the King Street street store, it'll be giving away free burgers and fries on Thursday, March 21. The first 50 customers that stop by at 11am will receive a free burger, and the first 200 who pop past at 3pm will snag free fries.
