    • I might be jaded by the KZhead algorithm pleasers but a series like that sounds very expensive to produce and might not be very clickable. I like what Josh has done but his content these days has gotten very buzzfeed. Here he is eating French fries because most of his target audience can relate to that. I might enjoy watching a travel food video, but would it bring in the views to pay off the travel expenses? Much safer to just make a chicken nugget video or something…

Every once in a while I'll be driving and have to stop in a small town for gas and the only things around are McDonalds and a DQ so I go to DQ and realize all over again they actually have decent food. Not great food, but definitely underrated and better than a typical McDs.

  • Two separate comments. 1. It's not a permanent menu item, but you have got to try Taco Bell's Nacho Fries when they are in rotation. They are surprisingly super good, and you dip them in nacho cheese instead of ketchup. 2. While not a national brand and not fast food, anyone who can should visit Chickie's and Pete's and have thier crab fries. They are crinkle-cut with an old bay like seasoning. Also, like the Taco Bell fries, these ones are served with warm cheese sauce that's amazing.

  • Salt is definitely the key for a great tasting fry. It has to be applied to the immediately after it hits the fry bin, the high temperature of the fries will fuse the salt to it locking the salt to the fry. A restaurant that doesn't have a large number of locations (60+) that imo has the best waffle fries is PDQ and there chicken tenders are of the chart.

  • I think the Culver’s fries are the best “dip it in your milkshake” fry. The crinkle cut means you get more milkshake per fry, and it’s sturdy enough to not break under the thick ice cream. It’s not the best standalone, but it’s a great companion piece to what Culver’s is known for: the Concrete Mixer.

That advice is moronic today. If anything, be suspicious of fat chefs. Big portion sizes and covering everything in oil isn't good for you. If anything, skinny chefs are people who care about food. Today, it's buff chefs. Cooking is a tough job. People who care about their profession are lifting weights and getting health. The next generation of cooks will be the most swole in history.

  • Lots of variables. As you noticed, oil freshness varies by location, that's probably on the franchisee. Salting is dependent on who's on the fry station. You at least controlled for freshness. McDonald's fries are 9 when hot out of the fryer, 7 about 5-10 minutes later, and about 5 when I get home. Why I'm usually eating them on the way.

As I am 70, I was blessed to have been around when the amazing McDonald's fries cooked in beef tallow existed, and sadly ended in 1990 when it was considered too high in cholesterol and replaced with vegetable oil. I am positive that you would have, hands down, chosen those fries over all the others because they were the total package, flavor, crunch, texture, amazingly great. Have not had a better fry since then. RIP beef tallow.

The official definition claims you have to operate across the entire nation with a distribution center for them all. Another claims just 3 states.

  • When I worked at Arby's 1990 to 1992, for my own meals on a long Saturday I got a giant roast beef with extra meat, a cherry turnover that I murdered with frosting, a jamocha shake with extra jamocha flavoring (if you held the lever at just the right position you could emphasize the flavoring to milk ratio), and fries that I cooked an extra 2 minutes or so. The fries were excellent. The above may sound like a ridiculous meal but this was me working noon to close in the largest Arby's in Texas (Northeast Mall in North Richland Hills) and I NEEDED those calories just to not lose weight from my already thin frame. We had curly fries at the time but I never got on with those. Too much seasoning and "tartness" for me and I never thought they cooked as well as our normal fries.

So that means you salt it to your own taste (obviously that also means it doesn’t get salted when it’s hot out of the frier which is obviously the superior time to salt it). Anyway I wanted to comment about that when you mentioned that the steak and shake fries weren’t salted.
