As skinny and crispy as possible. I hate steak fries. Haj ---

waffle cut and shoe string are my favorites. I was big into curly fries as a kid, but I don’t really care for them anymore. Also, kinda off topic, but no hamburger is complete without fries on it. I rarely find others that like it that way, but almost everyone who does is fanatical about it to the point where they won’t eat a burger without them. ---

**5-HT** , do you mean fries **in** the burger? Primanti Brothers is one of the few Pittsburgh landmarks that hasn’t disappeared since I moved away. They serve hot sandwiches with fresh-cut fries between the top layer of meat and the top slice of bread. You can order them separately, of course. (I wonder why no one else has ever done that?) ---

Seasoned curly fries. They sell them in the school cafeteria sometimes…sooooo good. They’re really greasy, though. ---

- - - Waffle preferrably, skinless, _DEFINITELY!_ Leaving the skins on was simply a cost-saving measure, and a rather dusgusting one at that. If they gave you the _steak_ with the skin still on, you’d probably get up and leave the place. ~ ---
