BGR is re-naming its "Gold Standard" fries in honor of Bethesda gold medalist Katie Ledecky.
File this one under “Katie fever.” Bethesda’s BGR will re-name its “Gold Standard” french fries in honor of Katie Ledecky, the Bethesda swimming phenom who took home the gold medal in the women’s 800m race in London last week. Ledecky made a splash on the international scene with her stunning Olympic win, and the rising Stone Ridge sophomore’s fan base has been steadily growing at home and abroad. The fries, dubbed “Katie Gold Standard,” will be on sale from Aug. 13 through the end of the month. So, maybe french fries aren’t as cool a namesake as adorable baby cheetahs at the National Zoo. But the proceeds will go to a great cause—the USA Swimming Foundation, the philanthropic arm of USA Swimming that encourages kids across the country to …
