Elite French Fry Thread
« on: April 10, 2018, 05:04:26 PM »
My brother and I were having this conversation today and we were trying to come up the criteria for the perfect french fry, it all started with this poll on twitter that was asking, if you were to only have one of these style of fries what would it be? Crinkle cut, Waffle Fries, Curly, shoestring or steak fries.

My top three are probably
1) Shoestring
2) Curly
3) Crinkle

Figured I would drop this question to the peeps on goEMAW and see what everyone thought.

Fries with truffle oil and garlic aioli from Little Apple Brewery. That's an elite fry.

a perfectly crispy crinkle is tough to beat is we're going for strictly type of deep fried french fry, no seasoning (other than salt) or other toppings.

When they are being irrational assholes, you have to do something to convince them to eat.

You know what really takes fries (tots included) to the next level?  Truffle.
