Is Uncle Frank’s still around in Chicago?
Anyway - Fries are best when served as part of the combo Moulles et frites… simply devine. Of course, catsup has no place within a mile of this ambrosia.
Then- order the fries 'well done". No really- I&O has quite a few option that they don’t put on the (very small) menu.
Tried that before. Still not as good as Fatburger.
Steak & Shake. Best. Fries. Ever.
Oh, and ketchup?
Just say no.
If you’re in California, In and Out Burger still fries thier fries in Tallow, or so I’m told.
Damn it, now I want fries!
Really? I have never heard that before and it doesn’t sound very tasty to me.
Yeah, this seems strange to me too. I know horse meat as human food is relatively common in certain parts of Europe. But getting horse products for human food seems difficult on this side of the pond. Maybe the Frite Alors in Belgium still use horse fat, but the one in Montreal has to use peanut? Anyone got a source?
Except for hot dogs.
What?
You are dead to me.
Ketchup is the Devil’s nosebleed.
Salt, No Ketchup
I think so…
[Darth Vader]Noooooooooooooooooooo…[/DV]
You say that as if it is a bad thing?
Fancy franks get brown mustard.
Ball park hot dogs get ketchup.
Yellow mustard is associated with the Devil’s more unmentionable bodily functions.
And not mentioned so far this thread… Coated fries (as at Burger King) are an abomination.
Who do I have to bribe to get me some o’ dat?
I agree about the ketchup* and yellow mustard. But what are BK fries coated with?
*Except for the so-called “banana ketchup” you can get in some Asian markets, but that’s only for dipping grilled cheese sandwiches. Get the hot variety. And ball-park dogs are demonic too.
A proper french fry doesn’t need catsup. Your insulting the great fast food cooks everywhere.
Isn’t the grease and sodium enough?
Mayo? Americans need mayo on their french fries like <insert appropriate funny analogy here>.
JSGoddess-
No bribes needed. As you’re in Ohio, just head to Jungle Jim’s (http://www.junglejims.com/) in Cincinnati. They have all your international foods. If I remember correctly, the Heinz curry sauce is near the far back corner of the store under the large tree with Robin Hood in it (AKA in the British Foods section). If you need other curry products, the India Foods section is not far from there. I always like going there because it’s like a trip overseas without the inconvenience of flying…
McDonald’s in my neighborhood switched to coated fries sometime last year. 
And Steak & Shake is too far away to run to on foot.
What’s more, all the local Wendy’s, in keeping with their “never precooked” practice, serve burgers that taste as if they had been sitting open in the refrigerator for days. Not quite rancid.
It’s enough to drive one to healthier eating.
I vaguely recall, from the introduction of the new fries several years ago, that they have some kind of flavoring on the outside that’s also supposed to hold the heat in.
I have nothing against “coated” fries. The ones at BK taste fine to me, and proper curly fries (as seen at Arby’s or Jack in the Box) are always covered with something.
The BK ones suck IMHO. The coating is some type of starch thing that’s supposed to keep the fries from getting soggy too quick, so that they don’t have to throw them away so fast (slow times). Luckily they wised up and let you substitute onion rings for the same price if you don’t like their crappy fries.
