There's a pub here that has a fry plate that's thin-cut fries, corned beef, and cheese. It's fucking fantastically good.

^^ That looks awesome except for the fries at the bottom.

One can deep fry most anything. Why waste good grease on potatos?

I used to get two chili burgers from the hat pretty regularly...I could barely finish off one when I went there just before I moved. Those things are gut rocks. Also the best I've ever had. Beat Tommy's by a bit.

As opposed to what? I love fries.

This thread is a parody of "Why do restaurant's still sell waffle fries?"
(yes, incorrect pluralization was also in the original thread title)

I defended Chik-Fil-A's waffle fries because they are epic awesome.

Never understood the hate that In-N-Out fries get. Pure greatness. Five Guys' are indeed greasy, and disgusting.

because they taste 100% bland as fuck

TBH ive eaten better tasting cardboard

if you are talking about fast food, Arbys curly fries win, then its prob McDs, Wendys = five guys, BK, In & out

can't remember if ive ever had hardees or Carls jr but i can't imagine them being worse then I&O

I ate one week recently like the masses. Mother in law was in town and cooked all the meals. Lots of fried foods, fatty foods, sweets, etc.. At the end of the week I felt like hammered dog shit. I really don't know how y'all do that on a regular basis. The picture of those chili fries makes me want to puke.

the fact a person here admitted to having ate cardboard before should void his opinion on any real food.

Who the hell eats cardboard? and on top of that admits to doing it? While I've never eaten cardboard, so I could be wrong here. I don't see how it could possibly taste like FRIED POTATOES! Now was this cardboard fried also?

By contrast, I'm actually surprised you claim you have no idea what cardboard would taste like. You've never had cardboard near your mouth, hmm? Even if you've never used your mouth to temporarily hold a piece of cardboard, you've still consumed food that sits in it.

Also, I think I was pretty clear that In-N-Out fries DO NOT TASTE LIKE FRIED POTATOES. If they did, I would not hate them.

To me In-N-Out fries are extremely salty, but they are good if ordered animal style.
