I had to look that up because I didn't know that's a thing that exists lol. I had that sort of texture as crisps before but as fries never tbh so can't really give a take on it though I think it's just a marketing strat (same goes to curly fries).
Awww Hell no. I’m going to have to come over to Belgium and school you. In exchange, I will let you do your best to sway me over to Team Waffles (you won’t win).
The definitive, indisputable top ten ranking of fries: 1. Seasoned curlies 2. Waffle fries 3. Thick-cut wedges 4. Shoestring fries 5. Truffle fries 6. Steak fries 7. Nacho fries 8. Disco fries 9. Loaded fries 10. Crinkle cut
Wall of Shame:
1. Sweet potato fries. Why you would try to make one of the best foods out of one of the worst foods is beyond comprehension.
2. In N Out’s fries. Just a limp and gummy mess. In N Out will never attain top tier ranking among fast for as long as their attempt at fries tastes like over-salted baby food.
3. Home fries. Get the fuck out. You’re not fries, you’re a hash brown that failed to live up to its potential.
1. French (smh they're Belgian) fries from the frituur (that's what they call independent fries-bars here) 2. Thick-cut wedges 3. Home made french fries 4. Steak fries 5. Seasoned curly fries 6. Truffle fries 7. Shoestring fries 8. Loaded fries 9. Crinkle cut 10. Sweet potato fries 11. Oven fries 12. Home fries
Never had nacho fries which sounds like a big no-no and never had waffle fries, which is not even a frie anymore how's that second on your list? I agree on your wall of shame tho I can't say anything about In N Out's. McDonalds barely has any flavour nor texture, Burger King and Quick have been way to long ago that I can't even remember and for the rest, we don't really have a lot of fastfood chains here. They opened up a Five Guys in the city a while ago but never been there. If we get fast food we usually go to small fries/burger-bars.

Yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and say that all frozen fries be they curly, crinkled, battered, shoestring or whatever pretty much suck. 5 Guys is the only fast food fries that remotely cut the mustard. The rest are just salty stomach fillers. As for Sweet Potato Fries sucking, no. Frozen sweet potato fries sucking? Yes. They're easy enough to cook and crisp or roast in the oven. And for Cap'n, sorry. If you think a sweet potato is the worst food, organ meat and sulfur vegetables would like a word.
Also, I disagree on the earlier Burger King disses. While they do indeed suck, I'll eat a $3.00 whopper with no mayonnaise if I'm broke and tired. Also, I'll take a bite of an occasional rodeo burger. I think the flame broil (conveyer belt hot coil thing) makes their meat taste infinitely better than the dogshit that is a McDonald's hamburger patty or a fried and greasy Wendy's patty. Those have almost no taste, and anyone serving anything like that at home should be embarrassed. Also, Burger King rarely fucks up your order whereas McDonald's is mostly premade slop and Wendy's couldn't get a special order right if you asked them to do it twice - I know, I have many times and stopped going there.
Otherwise, Popeye's isn't bad. I haven't been to Zaxby's, so I don't know about them. Rasin' Canes looks good, but they're almost always soggy if you take them to go (sometimes even if you eat them there), and I don't like KFC much at all. We don't have Bojangle's here, so I can't comment on them. Taco fast food is also garbage, particularly Taco Bell. Their meat tastes like ground up cat or horse or something that doesn't taste like gringoized taco meat.
How are y'all defining shoestring fries? Do you mean the classic McDonalds-style fries that are a little crunchy and a little starchy? Or do you mean this whispy ones that are in danger of blowing away the second the plate is set on the table? Because latter option is trash. I'd rather eat a plain onion straw.

Woah woah woah woah.. With proper circle shoestring fries you can finally season them with the proper amount of garlic and salt. I call shenanigans.
Y'all are fucking crazy. Shoestring fries are the bomb, that whole french fry list was fucked (including ripping on sweet potato fries, they are delish). McDonald's is trash fast food. And some people are poor, work several jobs and don't have time to cook for their family or know how to cook.

And some people are rich, play a lot of golf and otherwise generally suck at everything.

Hey, I said one of the worst foods, not the worst food. Don't put words in my mouth. Or sweet potato fries.
How in any way is it "one of" the worst foods? What's bad about them? They have way superior nutrition to regular potatoes or yams and more taste as well. I like them fried (not a fan of frozen), mashed, roasted, crispy, baked, whatever. Even sweet potato pies are decent in my opinion. They do make white ones FWIW.

Hard disagree. There's no starch, it's just crunch. Any form of fry would be improved by that seasoning combo and waffle, curly cue, and even steak fries would be better vessels for it. This is one of my strongest convictions haha.

I've had both, we know which is obviously superior -- but if done properly I've had seasoned garlic fries that were boss. but yea roasted garlic fry was the best I've had
Pretty much everything mentioned in this conversation is half-decent at worst. I have preferences and sure fast food isn't good food, but it doesn't taste bad.
Well done sweet potato fries with a generous amount of sea salt and mayo for dipping is better than nearly every regular French Fry, outside of the GOAT, Arby’s Curly Fries
my monarchs are all hatching this week! i've released two today since i got home from work, and i'm currently trying to get a time lapse video of the last one emerging from the chrysalis because i've never actually seen it happening in real time.
Too much starch taste, not enough crunch or actual anything flavorful
This. I'm not generally enthusiastic about fries in general but I can agree that steak fries are the worst option. It's the biggest thing holding Red Robin back.
Back to the fry discussion, I just learned that Wendy’s fries are different outside the USA. I’m eating them now at the airport in DR and they’re super crunchy/semi battered. Such a big improvement.
