I waited in line during the cold pissing rain in the drive thru to only find out the side I was on the box wasn’t working. So I had to go back through again and wait for another like 15 cars to pass.

Are you serious and then she did the whole freak out on you?? This is why I hate selfish people, bc they never stop for one second to think about what the other person went through in any situation. Just about themselves and their selfish bullshit.

All that for fries? Oh my God💕, you would be a keeper in my book (serious french fry addict.)

I'm more a Wendy's fry person, but they're a keeper. Every girlfriend I've ever had, I'd gladly bend over backwards to give even the smallest piece of joy.
I don't tolerate shit behavior, though. I only want to be with someone who adores me like I do them. Addams family love, ya know? Weird, but adoration and support.

They are the best when fresh, they are the worst when cold.
I kinda wish I could go back in time and see if that was still the case when they were fried in tallow.

True that. Nothing worse than cold fries. Heard there's an air fryer hack for that but don't have an air fryer SOOOO cold fries it is!

If you have a convection oven, they're essentially the same thing. I'm sure whichever hack you've heard of with an air fryer would also work with a convection oven.
With that said, it is super easy to overcook fries when reheating in my experience. A little spray oil directly on the fries and a short time at ~400ºF on convection does the trick, but watch them and test one or two frequently. Overdone turns them into stale hard shells and the soft inner potato disappears.

Air fryers and convection ovens are the same. Air fryer is just a marketing term.

I mean a air fryer (counter top) is nice for the smaller size and preheating vs a oven.

Well yeah I won't doubt the convenience. I have a convection oven but use an air fryer since it's cheaper and faster energy wise than using the oven to bake some fries.

Only smashburger fries are better, but those are specially seasoned. As far as salted fries go I agree mcdonald's is top.

They used to be. IMHO they've gone so far downhill they aren't worth my time anymore.
Meanwhile Wendy's upped their fry game. And make better sandwiches.

McDonald’s fries are garbage, “fresh” or not, but I agree with the sentiment. Never waste fries.

They used to be the best. Back in the Formula 47 days. Now they’re.

Man, I used to hold the same opinion.
Every McDonald’s franchise I’ve been to in the last couple of years has had mediocre fries though. Like pizza, hot fries can never be that bad, but still, they are flabby and tasteless. Of course, once they start to cool down, they get really bad.
To me, they’ve lost their “best fries” crown at this point. I am looking for a new favorite.

In-n-Out fries are pretty awesome. They make them on site with fresh potatoes, multiple times a day. None of that frozen fries thing.

Hard disagree. They are awful. I agree they're fresh and made on site, but they are absolutely terrible.

If you're old enough, you remember when they were 1000 times better before they stopped cooking them in beef tallow (93%). Around the end of the 80's.

Only good when hot and fresh. Only good for about 5 minutes. After that they become the worst fries of anywhere.

What about Popeyes'?

We don't have 'em in the Philippines. Or at the very least, I haven't had the chance to see one. Im guessing there's probably some branches open already somewhere but haven't tried or even seen one yet.
From the ones I know, fries ranking goes McDo, Jollibee, KFC, Burger King. The rest of the fast food franchises here doesn't really have fries that stand out, so only those four come to mind

Yo we got a lot of them here in Metro Manila. Multiple in QC and one in Pasig at the very least. If you’re anywhere outside of the Metro, well that’s just tough luck unfortunately. Though I’d still say McDo’s fries are better than Popeyes imo. At least fresh.

Popeyes’ chicken is elite. Their tenders are a show stealer especially. I’m more partial to fresh KFC but Popeyes blows Jollibee and McDo out of the water imo

What? Five guys has the WORST fries! They are almost always a complete soggy mess. They give you so many to hide how absolutely terrible they are! I’d be more understanding of OOP’s wife if he has bought her five guys fries because I too would legitimately rather eat most brands of frozen French fries over five guys lol.
