fav fast food fries

Popeyes' fries are delicious

 

The definitive, undisputable, top five fry:

1. Five Guys. Five Guys fries aren't just french fires. They are a gift from God himself. You feel conflicted between eating the absurd amount of fries that they call a small, and savoring every last piece of fried potato goodness.
2. Culvers. For those of you who do not live in the midwest, I pity you. Culvers is one of the most underrated fast food restaurants in the country. Their crinkle cut fries are always hot, fresh and goddamn delicious.
3. Arbys curly fires. Arbys fries are the second best side from Arbys, that honor goes to their mozzarella sticks. Still, their curly fries are absolutely delicious. The seasoning is perfect, the crispiness is just right, and the portion is good.
4. Popeyes was criminally underrated until their chicken sandwich came out, and now they have the attention they deserve. Their fries are also very good. The key to popeyes fries is dipping them in ranch. By themselves, they are still quite delicious.
5. Chick-fil-a waffle fries. CFA fries are good. They have a nice flavor and just the right amount of salt. They would be higher on this list, but the waffle shape contributes to two design flaws that stop this fry from transcending the ranks. First, the waffle fry shape limits the amount of fries allowed to be stuffed in the fry box. Second, the shape also makes it more difficult to dunk in sauce packets. Such demerits do not make this fry f bad, just not quite the level of the other fries.

 

Nothing. They’re solid fries, but they’re not “holy shit amazing”.

 

Hungry Jacks & Red Rooster hands down

 

could not disagree more. the local small "stores" fries are way too thick, too hot, not crispy, sloppy sauce all over the fries, rotten and sour onions, small plastic fork that doesn't even grip. pathetic!

my real big boy McDonald™ fries beat these small time dutch (fake belgians) any day of the week.

how can anyone take this man serious when the only thing your unrefined palate can tolerate is chicken nuggets and naturel flavored potato chips. this man doesn't even eat pizza!

 

I have clearly underestimated your expertise in french fries. It seems I'm dealing with a bit of a fry connoisseur.

With that said, your palate is far beneath mine and you are wrong. McDonald's french fries are considered the king (william of orange) of french fries in this country.



This is what every french fry dish looks like from small local dutch "stores". As you can clearly see, the sauce has been sloppily drenched all over the fries, making it virtually impossible to eat without a fork (unless you are some barbarian that wants sauce and onions all over his barbaric fingers).

What you will also find is that the fries are so thick and soft, that they remain piping hot for a very long time, too hot to eat without at least first degree burns to the mouth palate and tongue. By the time the fry has cooled down, it is completely soggy, mushy, and has no al dente bite to it.

So why not order it without sauce? Because that's not the real Dutch (fake Belgian) way of eating it. Who gets dutch fries with no sauce?

Oh so you think your potatoes are better because they are locally sourced? What are you? Some kind of potato hugger?

Your salt argument is invalid. Salt is salt. Anything else is considered an herb or spice. As far as my knowledge goes, dutch fry stores do not add exotic spices to their fries. It's just plain salt, mayonnaise, and (rotten) onions that have gone sour.

Now I know what you are thinking, because you are extremely predictable and I see at least 3 of your moves into the future: "You just went to a bad store!". Nope, that's where you're wrong. I have been to stores of all ranges, including one that was officially nominated as having the most delicious fries in all of this country for multiple years in a row. Guess what? Looked just like the image presented above.

 

I have to agree with this.

Even though I don't eat fries, potatoes, etc anymore (my body won't tolerate it), I used to absolutely LOVE (and still do) MacDonalds fries. Mini fries with a lot of salt? Hmm, delicious <3

 

Wendy's are my favorite fries. Too bad the only Wendy's near me is slow af.


@ItsJerry
I wonder how many people on here know who William of Orange is.

I can't stand 5 Guys fries anymore. The smell of them makes me want to throw up.
