I think the best fries I've ever had are from a place in Ocean City, MD and Rehoboth Beach, DE called Thrasher's Fries. They're made from freshly-cut Idaho potatoes, and served without ketchup. Old Bay seasoning, salt, and vinegar are available though.
The best large chain restaurant fries I've had are the waffle fries at Chick-fil-A. While they are frozen during shipment, they're still consistently good. In terms of small chains in the area where I live, the best fries I can readily get are at a small chain in northern Virginia (and now in DC) called Five Guys. They are also made from fresh potatoes.
Hey, Romeo caught Juliet. Not that she tried very hard to get away. She was the original not playing hard to get girl.
OTOH, he married her first, a wooing tactic that seems to have disappeared.
Funny, when I read the title of this thread I was thinking Thrashers before I even clicked on the link. And I agree with your chain choice also. Sometimes it is amazing to see the line down by the inlet in OCMD for people waiting to get fries. They could walk up to 8th street and goto the other Thrashers and get their fries and walk back before they would be done with the line at the inlet Thrashers. They are good though.
I was in that line last weekend. ;-)
Isn't it cheese curds and gravy on fries? I love poutine. It warms you up in the winter when it is -40 degrees out.
On a different snack note, Julia's on 6th and 11th streets and the boards have the best Italian Ice and Cannoli's I have ever tasted. I have a small chocolate ice and a cannoli after every morning surf session; and sometimes at night.
Not very exotic, but the best fries are from McDonalds. No contest. :~D
Knew a food thread would bring you around....
Yep, that's it. Very good stuff.
There are fast food / diner places where you can get it back home, and in Quebec, even the McDonald's' carry it.
I'm feeling a bit homesick today.
I have had poutine at Harvey's and at McDonalds in Montreal.
I really like the fries at the Checker's burger chain, even w/o ketchup.
LOL...nothing wrong with good food....
My own homemade deep fried with Red Robin seasoning.
Dairy Queen - fried in the same grease as the onion rings! Fabulous!
Famous Sam's.
Mmmmm...onion rings...now there's a subject worthy of a whole 'nother thread!
There's a place back in Vermont that makes AWESOME beer battered onion rings. Awesome with some horseradish sauce. *drool*
I really need to get out and explore my new local area, I guess. I'm feelin' all deprived.
