mmm... french fries

Often people will argue about who makes the best frnech fry in the fast food agency. There certainly is variation between them, but it mostly comes down to personal preference, I think.

McDonald's french fries claim to be America's favorite fry. They have a special taste and texture to them that you don't really find elsewhere. They're usually crispy, and generally thin like shoestring fries. In an excerpt from the book Fast Food Nation, they actually report that McDonald's fries taste so different because of the way they are fried. The "oil" the fries are made in is actually mostly beef tallow, so when you're eating that french fry, it has a subtle taste of that burger you're eating too. I wonder if the vegetarians know this? Anyway, then the fries are usually drowned in salt afterward and end up tasting like poo anyway.

I remember a few years ago when Toy Story came out and Burger King was all, "Look guys we changed our fries!!1!" I feel like they've changed again since then too, because they have a little less seasoning on them than they did then, and I think it works better. A Burger King fry is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and also has a trademark taste, different from McDonald's. However, out of the main three burger joints in the North East, I think their fries are the worst. I guess it is because they are so soft in the middle, and the weird seasonings they use. I just don't like it haha.

Now Wendy's, they know how to make a good french fry. It's not too crispy, it's not too soft, it has a happy place right in the middle. I remember a couple years ago that Wendy's redid their fries too (although they didn't make as big of a deal as BK did.) They used to be more irregularly shaped and a lot more soggy. Recently, they've taken a uniform shape, almost similar to McDonald's, but a little thicker, and the seasonings were worked on too a little. Another thing I like about Wendy's, is that they don't over salt their french fries like the other places do. They give you your own little salt packets to do that (I usually don't use them and throw them out). If McDonald's gave you a salt packet to put on their fries, I would be afraid, since they're already saturated with it.

But yeah. In the three major burger joints in the North East, I'd have to say Wendy's has the best french fry made of delicious and potato. Other fast food places make fries too, like Poppeye's (nasty fries), KFC (mediocre potato wedges), and so on, but none of them are really good, haha.
