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 loaded fries have been available since earlier this year at the restaurant known best for its chicken sandwiches:
🐔 The Chickenhead: boneless chicken breast with pickled onions served on buttered toasted buns.
🐔The Medusa: boneless chicken breast topped with macaroni and cheese, collard greens and pickled onions served on a buttered toasted bun.
🐔The Veganhead: plant based chicken alternative with pickled onions served on a 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.
