I wonder if it's migrating south (from...?). Before moving from New Jersey
about 12 years ago, I used to eat fairly often in a diner in Milburn
(suburban NYC), and I don't recall ever hearing the term "wet fries." I'm
pretty sure I would have noticed something as strange-sounding as that on
the menu.
