I wanted to label Le Cochon Noir as a diamond in the rough. The Philadelphia Business and Technology Center is not just an unassuming location, it’s practically out of the city limits (okay, maybe not, but how often do you find yourself at 50th and Parkside?). Inside, the space has a warehouse feel: exposed pipes, a completely open kitchen, and a floor that has paint stains from the last few incarnations of the building.

The website for Tweed proclaims that the new restaurant is “much like it’s name.” To restaurateur Edward Bianchini’s credit, the experience is, as the website’s predicted manifestation of the fabric, one of “leisure and sophistication.” But consider what the unofficial uniform of British landed gentry is not: tweed is not sexy, sensual, exotic, avant garde, or particularly memorable.

The British call them chips, the Spanish, papas fritas and the French, pommes frites. Here in the USA, we call them French fries (or Freedom fries, if you’re at Geno’s). How, you might ask, did these tasty treats come to accompany our burgers, hide tucked in our gyros and satiate our drunken cravings?

Remember your friend who went to Europe, drank absinthe in some culturally and physically underground bar, hallucinated and ended up with a prostitute in a back ally of Prague?
