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.

Neither. Fries WITH burgers.
Nope.
Cold fries are awful. Start with the fries!
Fries are intended to be eaten in the car on the way home.
Hot and fresh.
That's why they never make it home.
One word:
Poutine......................
Some places serve those shoestring fries. While good they must be eaten quickly before they cool.
Always keep fries in their container to stay warm. Never just dump them out because they cool too fast.
These are two hard and fast rules I live by.
agreed, and you can put fries ON a burger
The only way.
damn you Canada!!!
youll be hopping around in one shoe shoveling a burger in yer face!
Yep. There’s a restaurant near me that serves burgers just that way. It doesn’t matter whether you ordered fries or not. You can even say, “hold the fries”. It doesn’t matter. You’re gonna get fries on your burger.
Onion rings are better than fries, put a couple of those on my burgers.
The real question is
Do you dip your frys in catsup, or do you put it on your fry directly from the packet.
I’m not Canadian and I love poutine!
Saw a man eating it in a restaurant once and asked him what it was. I ordered it and have it at home every now and then..............
“Fries are intended to be eaten in the car on the way home.
Hot and fresh.“
That of course is the correct answer.
I’m with ya chuck
It quite common up here in the NEK....I guess some restaurants cater to the motorists from Canada. [Not that we've had many of those.]
