THIRD PLACE: DUBLIN PUB

These fries are truly a guilty pleasure every Daytonian must experience.

Dub Pub starts with fried potato wedges covered in a blend of cheeses with chunks of Applewood bacon thrown in. But what sends this dish over the top is the borderline-addictive white wine sauce soaking into those delicious wedges. There is also a poutine version on the menu.
