We have food trailers at the local farmers markets that only make fries.
No other food.
No drinks.
They take whole potatoes, put them in a press to cut into fries, then deep fry and salt.
Incredible taste!
“The food is fine. They need to stop hiring people who look like gang bangers”
It would be great if they could. In my town (blue state), every convenience store I’ve been to has a sign in front telling customers they’re hiring. My local BK has a big banner in front saying they’re hiring.
The $300 unemployment giveaway from the federal government is supposed to end Sept 4. That should help. We’ll see.
Many red states have refused to accept the fed payment to able-bodied people to stay at home. I wonder if their local businesses are getting enough people.
Hey Deaf dude, why don’t you go find another thread to troll?
I ordered something at McDonalds yesterday that cost $2.66. I gave the young man at the window two one dollar bills, two quarters, a dime a nickel and a penny.
He laid the money on the shelf in front of him, and stared at it for ten minutes. Maybe no one had ever paid him with cash before. He finally decided that was correct Same Newell Drive let me drive to the pickup window.
I used to like them but their chicken is too salty and their buns are full of sugar. Like most fast food and carry out, I lost my taste for them.
The only place I can get a fresh hot burger is at Culvers. Made to order. My last burger at Wendys was luke warm
So true story: I was online at Wendys just after they changed their fries recipe last time, when they were advertising that they were made with sea salt. And two air-headed teenyboppers had the following conversation (I wish I was making this up, lol):
1: I don’t think I’ll like their new french fries. It says they’re made with sea salt and I don’t like the ocean.
2: Oh don’t worry about that. Sea salt doesn’t come from the ocean, they just call it that.
I liked wendys old frys, today they suck, and today mcdonalds fries are like soggy cardboard.
Just nasty
“The only place I can get a fresh hot burger is at Culvers.”
I love Culver’s. Making burgers to order makes a big difference. I still want to try more of their menu, in particular a fish sandwich.
culvers has the best safest burgers that usually are consistent high quality
some dont clean their grill enough and you get a bitter crispy acrylic buildup
for best bet get to them when they first open, and avoid deep inside urban areas spots
If you’ve not had fries in rice bran oil, you’re missing out. I’m lucky to have 2 (yes, only 2) places I can go grab a snack when I’m not making air fries with EVOO at home.
Long story short, all the seed oils are toxic. Soy as well. Not getting into those statements. So most fried food is out for me unless made at home in my own fryer. I also like Five Guys, but for me the fries are not made properly (they use a method which technically is for Belgian fries, but they under cook the finish) and the peanut oil doesn’t sit well with me.
Agreed on lard (leaf lard). Beer battered cod and fries in homemade tartar sauce.
Mmmmmmmmm...
CFA fries the waffle fries in Rapeseed oil and the chicken in peanut oil. FYI.
Yes, I agree. I like Five Guys, but a meal for two there can easily run like $40... which is crazy for fast food. I know a lot of good sit-down burger places where it’s possible to eat for the same or less money.
This sounds controversial, but food chains spend literally millions tweaking their recipes. I have a niece in food technology for Domino’s and they’ve sent her all over the world testing locally sourced ingredients for product consistency.

Back in the 80’s Wendy’s had the best fries of any fast food chain. Then they messed with them and ruined them. I consider there fries right now to be the worst and on the verge of puke. All they have do is go back to what they once had. They were large and very potato tasting. Not greasy and not even real crispy. Kind of like the ones you buy in the store and bake on a cookie sheet.
McDonalds fries use to be the best until they changed their oil.....now the fries have a coating on them that tastes crappy....
Heck we use to stop for their fires alone they were so good.....now I never order them even with a meal.
In and out fries are made from the Kennebec potato which doesn’t hold together very well.
Our hometown Fair had trailers with just French Fries that were delicious. ..then even they changed the oil and tastes just awful now!
Wonder what the best oil is to use to French fry potatoes at home? And I want the real oil taste not these nasty oils out there.
