Steve wrote "City of New Orleans" for Arlo and was popular here in Chicago in the 70s and 80s. He wrote "Go Cubs Go" that is played at the end of all games the Cubs win at Wrigley. He died from leukemia way too young.

Sorry, I went off on a tangent.

It does the best french fry cut. Just pop the potato in, push down the top, and voila. Or, you can make thin/thick slices.

This was my Grandmother's. I'm sure we bought it for her, one Christmas.
