Latish reply, but how do you make yours? Do you do the ‘restaurant’ steps of using water & freezing to get the starch out?

Me, I just slice up baking potatoes and pop them in my air fryer for a while, turning and re-basting with oil a few times. Not restaurant grade, but good enough.

Sometimes when I have patience, but most often I just do the same. The difference is huge though for so little effort.

There’s more but they had to crop out the 1ga bag of fries that they use as insulation for your burger.

An I the only one who calls them “bag fries”? Of course there’s more in the bag. It’s tradition.

Yup. And they know how to make fantastic fries. And cajun seasoning if you want. Fucking great, a worthy compliment to their consistently decent-to-great burgers.

Every time I eat any fast food burgers besides 5 guys I’m disappointed that I didn’t hold out for 5 guys.

I’ll agree with that. And they’re all so overpriced, I can’t afford to eat any of them lol

Overpriced? Really? I thought the whole point was it being fast and cheap. So that only leaves convenience as an argument to go there…

Yeah a combo meal runs like $13+…It’s ridiculous. My field guys at work eat out every day. I can’t afford it. Cheaper to hit the grocery store and make sandwiches all week.

And too strong opinions on them. How anyone part age twenty or so can have any thought on them besides ‘yuck’ baffles me.

As a non-american it blows my mind that you have so many fast food companies.

What blows my mind is that it’s all large franchise. We have tons of independant selling various form of fast-food. Stuff like Sandwiches, Pizza, kebap and more. But I can’t think about only 2-3 large chain, basically we have Mc-Donalds, Quick, and that’s it ? or may-be burger kind did a comeback last years, not even sure…

To be fair, where I’m at in the south we have these. Still a lot but most are very regional
