Finding an indulgent plate of french fries is perhaps one of life’s simplest pleasures. There’s something about the crispy, salty, ketchup-laden treat that really gets us in the feels, and is just as enjoyable to adults as it is to children. Mother’s Ruin is a New York City-based eatery, located in NOLITA, that has recently made the jump from the Big Apple to Music City. The murmurs have been growing for a while now, and it’s the cocktail menu and plate of waffle fries that have rocketed this Germantown dining establishment to legendary status. Check it out below!
