Wow… “I heard you liked carbs so I put a ton of carbs in the middle of another ton of carbs!”

.

BTW, I thought of that burger/fries poll when I braved going out to an actual bar (weekday afternoon, no one there). I remembered my opinion back then:

> With any meal, I pick the one food that’s horrible when it achieves room temperature and eat that first.
> 
> I absolutely love hot french fries. Utterly hate cold ones.

So I got smart when I ordered and said “I’ll have the Brewmaster Burger basket, but can I get the fries in, say, fifteen minutes?”
