You don't hear much about the San Francisco Giants over here on the East Coast. (Didn’t they win some kind of trophy recently or something?) What you do hear, though, is about their ballpark’s garlic fries, which fans basically won't shut up about. Hell, even visiting fan bases sing the praises of AT&T Park’s famous fries. And as Thrillist's resident Recipes Editor, I obviously had to see what all the fuss was about.

The concession stand is called Gilroy Garlic Fries, named after the town of Gilroy, California, aka the “garlic capital of the world.” The extra-crispy fries are dredged with a heavy dose of fresh minced garlic, olive oil, and parsley, and served with a complimentary breath mint. And yes, its garlic fries are the best I’ve ever had.

Three thousand miles is a long way to travel for fries, though, so we ever-so-sweetly begged Bill Greathouse, the Giants' garlic fries grail knight/Senior VP of Concessions, for the recipe, and... he ACTUALLY GAVE IT TO US. It's pretty simple (you can make 10 cups' worth in 20 minutes with the recipe below), so I had to know, "What makes yours so much better than everyone else's?"

"The fans make ours better," he said. "Because of the high demand, the product is always hot and fresh." Well, you can't argue with that. To the recipe!
