There are loaded fries, and then there are those covered in “everything but the kitchen sink.”

The Chicken Spot, 3261 W. Siebenthaler Ave. in Dayton’s  Northwest Plaza, offers its  seasoned waffle fries and sweet potato fries  covered in a variety of “sloppy toppings” that includes a choice of two sauces, chopped chicken tenders, crispy bacon, shredded romaine lettuce, chopped tomatoes and pickled onions.

    

The Chicken Spot's owner and chef, Anthony Head, says the  restaurant's signature Mac and cheese can be added to the "sloppy fries" for $2.

“Of course our version of  ‘loaded fries’ would be big and messy,”  Head said. “We'll make it as sloppy as you want. It feeds two easily. It's an egregiously decadent comfort meal.”

🐔The Medusa: boneless chicken breast topped with macaroni and cheese, collard greens and pickled onions served on a buttered toasted bun.

Head said the restaurant has also planned a meal program for medical professionals.

Meal sponsors can donate cash,  buy gift cards or declare their intent to buy a meal for a doctor or nurse when they order.

“I'm matching those donations one-for-one to give meals to our front-line health-care workers,” Head said in a message exchange with this news organization. “(I) will work with some local nursing organizations” to deliver some bulk orders.
