On election night, I decided to treat myself to a Corny Reuben and French fries. It was a risk because there are some locations in Eugene that some people avoid after the 2016 election. But after reviewing some of the finest French fries in Eugene-Springfield last year, I thought I’d settle my nerves with some fries from Cornucopia because Eugene Weekly readers say it’s the best. I don’t say this often, but the readers are right. Cornucopia’s fries have body and character — they’re so good that I didn’t need a heavy pool of hot sauce and mustard. As election night went on, I felt OK as the swing states showed Trump in the lead. It’s too bad I didn’t have a basket of these fries back in 2016.
