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.

They’re both better HOT, so wolf ‘em down together!
The burger, of course. But the first bite of burger is followed immediately by the first couple of fries. Simultaneously chewing. 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Fries first, except at 5 Guys, where the fries are so good I save them for last.
Memphremagog? Derby Pond? Willoby?
Beautiful areas!
We have a 65 y/o friend who participates in the Open Water Swim. I don’t know how he does it....but he always wins his age group and often beats the 20 y/o something competitors. :)
I don’t know if the cold this winter broke any records....but it sure seemed awfully cold to me. But we sure had a lot of -0*and more nights and days strung together.
So you say. :)
I’m not one to put ketchup on *everything* like some folks do; come to thing about it, the only thing I use it on, is fries.
I’m confident, there is no What-a-burger in Vermont. It seems to be a southern thing.
That way they do not get cold and soggy.
If you are dining at home you eat them together.
It’s sold at Kroger and many more
the best!
for the record What-a-burger buts mustard on their burgers like all Texans do, ketchup is for fries, but I like malt vinegar.
Maybe if I go across the border to Canada, there will be one.
But ketchup is not *that* important to me.
All the best/bon appetite
