Where are the best French fries in fast food? What is the best fast food place in general?
In n Out!!!!
Five guys has some pretty good fries
No I'm from colorado originally. I got stationed in Washington but my ship spent 90% of its time in san diego so I had nightly trips to in n out. Close behind it is Dick's cheeseburgers here in the seattle area.
Local place called Griff's. Their burgers, fries, and fried mushrooms are ballin'.

Nice! Griff's is actually a fast good joint. They have the greasiest burgers in town. And we all know that grease=goodness.
At the phillies basball stadium they have these amazing crab fries. Stooooopid good
Fast good in general tho would be burgerfi
Bam
Bad burger

I'm not normally big on fast food, but I will admit I do swing by 5 Guys for the occasional burger and fries, and I really like their fries. Well seasoned.

Okay this sounds amazing. But is it worth the agony of having to go to a phillies game?

I'm north of Seattle. The place is super successful. They have anything from board games to video games. and free wifi so you can bring your comp and game right there. Its sweet.
Believe it or not I've never had five guys although they just opened one here this year! I'll have to give them a try. As a vegetarian, I tend to avoid burger places, but if the fries are that good I feel obligated to give it a chance!

Go to burger fi instead. Better than five guys and has veggie burgers.
The best burger to be honest in town is the garbage burger in durham you can look it up on man vs food.
My personal favorite is at the steak shack in nyc
Called the steak stack

Lol. I seen reference to my favorite sports team home stadium and got excited. I sorry Moneekahh... Sad face. I posted about french fries too! :-)
Let's talk potatoes or GTFO! ;)
Well truth be known I make kick (butt) FF. I have an old school cast iron pot I use to boil my grease (gotta throw a little bacon grease in to add flavor) and thin slice all my potatoes. BOOM! Fast food got nothing on me. Lol. But smash burger if i'm feeling lazy.
I'm surprised no one has said Zaxbys! Their fries and special sauce are so good. I've been to the one in Columbia, TN and the one here :)
I actually don't think Five Guys's fries are all that great. The seasoned kind is ok but they should be good regular too.
Considering you can order well-done fries at In 'n Out, and can add animal style, I'd have to go with them as best
Best fries I've had have been at el pollo loco... Then they changed their fries to a new kind that is awful
Burger King has awesome poutine :D Costco's fries are amazing.
Costco has fries where you live?! All ours sells is pizza and hot dogs!

Oh elf yes! Zaxby's in general is so good. I found one 45 minutes from my house once on accident and got so excited. I didn't know they existed down here. I've only ever seen them in South/North Carolina.

If your a Carolina person, Bojangles used to have some pretty good fries. Haven't seen one since the mid '90s but they were delicious

My wife's family is from NC. Went there a few years ago to the reservation her mom is from and tried Zaxby's for the first time. Never tried Bojangles.

Bacon grease brings up memories of last year's Boy Scout rock climbing trip.
One patrol deep fried their bacon in bacon grease which they stole from other patrols...
That was also the outing I came back to find a bag of trash in my tent...
On the subject of fries, my troop knows just about every in'n'out in Cali. Animal fries... Mhhhmmm...

which they stole
Well that doesn't sound very boy scout of them
What about making your own fries? You get to season them any way you want! It's super easy too, especially if you have a mandolin or something to cut the potatoes with. You probably don't want to battonet cut each damn fry, that would be obnoxious.
And if you have a mandolin, you can make
WAFFLE FRIES.

Zaxbys is okay what they are amazing at is there birthday cake milkshake.
Bojangles most of you won't care but its their sweet tea. There fries are okay but you really gotta like salt seasoning. Which personally I'm not a fan.

There used to be a local place here called the West End Pub. They sold something similar...four different cheeses, bacon, seasoned beef and jalapeños on top of French fries and they gave you ranch dressing as an additional add on if you wanted.

Truffle oil is not real truffles due to the expense, and nature of the fungus. Real Italian white truffles run more than crack here, and even Oregonian black truffles are obscenely priced.

You missed the cold weather by two days. It's supposed to stay this way until mid next week but I'll give it until Sunday before it changes back.
All this talk off eating truffles. I think I'm gonna lock myself in a barrel.
