No Jack In the Box or Carl's Jr.?

Nonetheless, I prefer McDonalds fries.

I wish In-N-Out had better fries. There is an In-N-Out near a McDonalds here. I have been known to buy my burger(s) at In-N-Out and my fries at McDonalds to create the perfect meal.

What, like potato wedges?

of course, with Sweet Thai Chili Sauce... I have yet to find any where in US that has them. Maybe, I am just sheltered.

Lots of places have potato wedges here. Dunno so much about the sweet thai chili sauce, though.

McDonald's hardly ever has fries that are crispy on the outside when I go there.

Err, I think that is a British thing, which means the whole Commonwealth (and even the USA) will get what a potato wedge is.

McDonald's hardly ever has fries that are crispy on the outside when I go there.

I have found them to be uniformly crispy on the outside.

That is what I like about them so much.

Good catch on throwing in that Wendy's Frosty + fries question. I wouldn't be caught dead doing it, but it seems to be my wife's favorite past time.

Personally, I love a hot batch of McD's fries dipped in their BBQ sauce. Might start planting the seeds for lunch already :p

Firm, crunchy, crispy for sure :)
I like Wendy's the best of the three, but not by a big margin.
I dip my fries in my Wendy's Chili :) (OK, I have used the frosty too)

I don't really like Ketchup, but BBQ sauce or Honey are great for dipping fries in.

How do you take yours?
Personally, I like a crispy fry, which is why I prefer BK to McDonald's.

I'm with you 100%. Which is why I'm absolutely baffled that crispy is winning in a landslide with 87% of the vote, yet McDonalds has more than 3x the votes of BK. You people make no sense!

I like mine somewhere in between crispy and 'flaccid'. Wendy's or McD's fries are just great. I really like fresh-cut fries too though, with the potato skins on, especially in poutine or a chili-cheese fries concoction. I like Taco Bell fries supremes. Ketchup is good but only if it is Heinz. Mayo and frosties are not allowed near my fries.

it's been weeks since i've savoured the tasty goodness of fast food fries!

Apparently there are McDonald's that make crispy fries.

What's with you people? If you don't like this poll, as far as I'm aware there is nothing preventing you from creating your own wacky fry poll.
We're working with the lowest common denominator here.

Honey? Or honey mustard?

Well, at McDonalds, honey, or at Wendy's honey mustard ....
Otherwise Barbeque ....

I guess I like the sweet taste with the fries :)
