"Do fries come with that shake?"

What goes better with a burger than a side of golden, fried to a nice crisp, bundle of fries. They go great with a lot of things like sandwiches, chicken, and any other plates. Fries are even great by themselves. Some people eat them with ketchup, dressing, and even guacamole. There are many places out there that have fries on they're menus. But of course not all of them are the same. Some come thin, thick, too salty, not enough salt, plain, curly, and some come with special blends of spices. When ever I go to a new burger place or restaurant I always try they're fries. Overall I do like all types of fries from many different restaurants. Some of the best I've had have been from small burger shops like Tam's. Sure McDonald's fries are good and so are Burger Kings' but when places like Rally's have these super loaded fries then you simply can't compare. Different styles like super loaded, Chilly fries, and guacamole style take a simple side into a good meal. After pointing out some of the best fries out there, I have to say that some of the worst come from somewhere that I expected more out of. The place that I thought had the worst fries was In-N-Out. Sure their fries are healthier because they're made in 100% vegetable oil but I think that because they went the healthier way they sacrificed taste. I'll never forget the day I bit into one of their fries. I was eager to try In-N-Out for the first time, about a year ago. The double-double was great but when I tasted the fries I felt as if I was biting into nothing. Very little flavor and nothing at all as what I was used to when eating fries. Fries are a very simple side, you peal and cut your potatoes, you fry them and season them. Although I dig the whole healthy choice, I think having some good old' thick sliced, greasy, seasoned fries are what we need as a side next to our meals. Not some thin, flavorless, hollow, although healthy, sorry excuse of a fry. Let's keep that greasy but o so delicious taste people.

  1. FRENCH FRiES! My friends and I went on a major French fries craze weeks ago on Wing Stop fries. They are so insanely good. It has this great type of seasoning, and with the ranch and my favorite, honey mustard sauce it’s absolutely irresistible. There’s this great fast food restaurant near my place at LA around 3rd st. Their fries are like these big wedges, the size of your finger to be exact. With some thousand island sauce and extra seasoning, which I must add is FREE, it’s an absolute treat. Oh! Have you also tried the cheese fries at Tommy’s? The creamy melted cheese spread over the fries is something you wont be able to resist. It’s incredible. I agree eating healthy isn’t fun. It’s best to enjoy these mouth-watering when your young and your stomach is able to handle the junk that we eat. Great blog. =]

  2. My two favorite fries are from Tommy’s Burger and Wing Stop. If you haven’t tried their fries, go asap. The Tommy’s Burger fries are thick and full of flavor, especially with chili and cheese on them. As for the Wing Stop fries, which I tasted with Stacey and Stephanie, they are maybe the best fries I have tasted. They are not thick but very delicious. These are the type of fries that you can eat without any dressing but still be good. I usually dip them in ranch or honey mustard, but can eat a whole tray without it. These are the two places I really recommend you try and I am almost certain you will fall in love with them.
