February Business Spotlight: Peppers & Fries
Bringing Burgers and Burritos Together
Another development win came for the Longfellow/Lake Street area, when experienced father-daughter restaurateur team Steve and Marie Frias opened Peppers & Fries at 3900 E Lake Street on January 26. The Friases selected the Longfellow Neighborhood as they were looking for a place to create an urban burger-burrito grill in a family-friendly, neighborhood setting - something they felt no one else was doing. Peppers & Fries, named after a combination of Steve and Marie’s childhood nicknames, offers over 10 made-from- scratch burger combinations. Steve, a burger aficionado, says the secret to a good burger is to start with fresh beef patties from Husnik Meat Co. and layer them with rich flavor sensations like peanut butter, pepper jelly, and bacon. A variety of burritos are also featured on the menu like the Willy’s Smothered Burrito which is filled with stewed chipotle pork, refried beans, Spanish rice, and cheddar and then smothered with more chipotle pork.
