My favorite fries before that virus that alters your tastes hits were Wendys dipped in a chocolate Frosty. Second went to Portillo's with cheese. 🥔🧀
Sadly that virus has made potatoes all taste like bad grease and stale reheated mush.
Good thing distilled potatoes are still good for me. 🍸

For traditional Mcdonalds

For crinkle-cut Portillos followed closely by Culvers

Then if feeling crazy I will go with Arbys curly fries.

McDonalds or Chil-fil-A waffle fries.

McDonalds for me...Arby's curly fries would be my second choice. When I was a teenager (years ago, lol), we had a Rally's here and I thought their fries were the absolute BEST. Haven't seen one around here in years, though.

Waffle fries are a religion.

I wont lie, I will always hold Mcdonald's fries close to my heart. I also have always loved Carl's Junior CrissCut fries with some ranch. I will also 2nd Arby's curly fries as being pretty epic.

I think I just love fries...

McDonalds, but I wish they'd go back to frying in tallow. Do you guys know about that?

Very familiar with tallow. Sadly, that joy is never returning.

"After spending at least $15 million campaigning against McDonald's for more than two decades, Sokolof got the attention of consumers, per Atlas Obscura. In 1990, McDonald's eventually responded to the pressure by replacing their beef tallow will vegetable oil."

This guy was convinced that McD's was giving everybody heart disease with the beef tallow, so he got them to switch to frying in veg oil, which ruined the "world famous fries" McDonalds was known for.

The funny thing is people now think it's the opposite - vegetable oil causes heart disease and beef tallow is no problem! So it was all a big mistake!

Bring back beef tallow!
