I can feel my cholesterol levels rising rapidly and my arteries clogging just by looking at the pictures.   I must try that

I don't understand why it's called the little French girl, though. Is there a bucket of butter or any crème fraîche in this dish? Must find a good recipeh...

They were invented (or at least popularized) by an emmigrant in France, a few decades ago. Hence the name.

Last hot-dog before America
