There are two kinds of people in this world: those who start by eating all the fries and those who start by polishing off the burger.
I learned how to eat fast food with my grandma. As kids, whenever my cousins and I would visit, right around lunch time she’d march us over to the nearby McDonald’s as long as we followed one rule: Eat your burger before your fries.
At the time, my grandma’s logic was that she wanted to make sure we were getting the “nutrients” that came from eating the heftiest part of the meal, whether that be nuggets or a burger or a fish sandwich. A balanced meal isn’t made up of just french fries and ketchup, she would tell us, much to our dismay. The result was a bunch of kids competing to see who could scarf down their meal the fastest to get to the good stuff (fries), which might have the opposite health-forward effect my grandma was after. Still, old habits die hard, and I’m still a burger-first gal with my own reasoning for taking that stance.
Why you should eat the burger before the fries When this question was posed on Reddit, users seemed divided in the comments, with plenty of folks saying they simply alternate between bites of burgers and bites of fries. When you’re hungry, who has the time?! You have to commit to one or the other first for more efficient dining.
This is in part why the initial bite should be the burger. French fries are a snack. A burger is a meal. If you’re sitting down to satiate your appetite, you have to go with the heavy hitter before nibbling on those little potato sticks.

I skip the fries and have cole slaw instead.
Now that’s a great question, “who puts pepper on their fries”?
I do whenever possible.
“Neither. Fries WITH burgers.”
what DennisR said.
...ah....but what kind of ketchup?
We recently discovered Stonewall Kitchen ketchup....pricey....but excellent.
Mexican Poutine!....................

problem is with ooey gooey burgers, if the bun is sturdy, the egg and stuff all squooshes out the side and on yer shirt...
me too
I’d probably like that. I like salt and vinegar tater chips.
Pains me to say it but Heinz is the best. Brooks is pretty good too. We usually buy Kroger brand.
It’s amazing that Carroll O’Conner didn’t stroke out on the show
Mexico? Tx.
Would Grandma would let you eat the slaw first though, that’s the question. I’d say yes.
I usually hit the local big boy and get the platter, Big Boy, onion rings and slaw with large 1/2 & 1/2 Iced Tea.
I haven’t been back up there since I sold the place on the Lake. My Dad was a selectman in Derby back in ~2000 or so. Taking my kids up to see the herd next to the Palace was a highlight. I used to tell them they were Santa’s reindeer.
I got up last fall to lay my mom to rest down in Coventry, but we never got any further north than Lindsay Road, taking a look at the old homestead.
Lots of memories about that area. Most of them good. Some just really, really cold. LOL.
millions of brits aint wrong on this one
Prefer a baked potatoe with butter, sour cream and sauted onions. A bite of burger, then a bite of potatoe, then a swig of beer.
“Neither. Fries WITH burgers.”
But which gets attention FIRST????
