How well do you know College Park restaurants? Well enough to guess the venue from nothing more than a photo of the food?

Today's Guess the Restaurant photo features a gyro and what I suspect could be in the running for College Park's best fries.

Where in College Park could you have gotten something like this? Type your guesses in the comments below.

Oh man. When I lived in Knox Towers sophomore and junior year I got that once a week, regularly. Great deal too, I think all that cost like 49 cents.

Just spoke with a reader. He argues that Fishnet in Berwyn has better fries. I forgot about those! Here's a review from November, when the joint first opened: "The fries — oh the fries. I knew they were special once I downed the whole cup full. They were salty and flavorful, with a nice combination of softness and crunch. The russet potatoes from Idaho are cut fresh each day, then soaked in a salt, water and vinegar mix for several hours, Yalcin said." http://collegepark.patch.com/articles/fishnet-promises-fresh-fish-mostly-local-ingredients Thoughts? Where are the best fries in College Park?

. . . I started going to Marathon Deli when it opened in the late 1970s when I was in the MBA school at UM. I just bought some gyros for myself and my Dad last week, and they tasted just as good.

...don't recall gyro place, but might you have also attended a 'lasagna bake-off' at Villa del Sol (Burtonsville) in the '70's?

Just making sure ya'll saw this: It's this week's Readers' Choice. We're asking readers where the best place in College Park is to get fries. Marathon Deli is on there, as well as some other close competitors (in my opinion). Poll closes at 9 a.m. Friday. You can vote once Thursday and once Friday. http://patch.com/A-rPK2
