This is the correct post ITT.

Also Better Fresh Burger has some bizarrely good fries.

the worst falafel wrap ive ever had was at a place called Original Philly Cheesesteak in Orient Heights, Boston and also instead of being in a pita wrap it was in a flour tortilla. im not mad though its obviously my fault i got bad food

I’ve been to Boston at least fifty times and even though I enjoy the city I can honestly say I’ve never had a memorable meal there. I’m sure there is good food somewhere but I haven’t found it yet.

The fresh pretzels they make at the Harpoon brewery are amazing, though I wouldn’t consider that a “meal”.

As goons we're all fat and love french fries. We also have big opinions on the good kind of fries. Here's what I think, you may disagree but you are probably wrong.



S tier:
Mcdonalds. The ideal fry. If you don't like this fry you don't like fries.

A class:
Fries attempting to emulate Mcdonalds fries.
Popeye's cajun fries

B class:
Shoestring fries (Steak and shake) and thicker cut but still decent fries like Wendy's, Jack in the Box, etc.

C Class:
Steak Fries, too much potato not enough fry.
Fresh cut fries. Soggy mess. 5 guys fries. Fries from sandwich shops.

Abyssal fries:
"Silly" fries for children like crinkle cut, curly fries, waffle fries, etc. these fries are for infants
Oven fries. gently caress you

Disqualified:
Home Fries, Chicken Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, Other Vegetable kinds of fries. These are false idols

There was a fish and chip house near me that did a chili catfish and sweet potato fries basket that was might tasty. Then Covid cam along and killed the place. Their regular potato fries were good as hell too, though.

I do not wear this mask to protect me. I wear it to protect you from me.

There used to be a gas station / convenience store / mini restaurant that had potato wedges they seasoned and fried. They were far superior to any normal french fry.

I also miss Arbys onion petals. They were a treat.

Steak fries can be good, but are usually woefully undercooked.

what the gently caress is going on here

I think it's people who liked fried food but are meh on potato?

I'd put steak fries and jojos as top tier but I enjoy the taste of a baked potato and do not picture the ideal fry as entirely that fried outer layer + salt. I also like general vegetables tho so this may not be shared with people who think steak fries are bad.

A few months ago I had these homemade chips that were just a sliced potato (into potato chip slice) really thin or sometimes really thick and it was amazing. Some were kind of chewy and some were really crispy due to the size difference. If I had a plate of only the thick ones I probably wouldn't like it much.

They cut whole potatoes on site and fry them in sunflower oil to make those. And that’s it afaik.

Places like McDonalds have heavily processed and frozen fries with some huge list of ingredients/chemicals.

Unlike actual fries, the evil concoction that Mcdonald's calls fries turns brown and soggy within minutes. I know of no other place where this happens to their fries. Some fries are even fine when cold, but McD fries turn into wet floppy sour garbage poo poo. What the hell kind of hellhole do you live in that those are the best there is
