Will join you.. These are awesome.
That makes me the Third Musketeer. Now we just need 2 more.
Hey, count me in! I believe I was the first to mention Five Guys Cajun fries.
Cajun fries are good, sometimes the flavor can be a bit overpowering though.
Maybe if we put cheese on them it would balance it out.
The best fries in existence come from a local gyro joint called Mad Pita. I don't know what their dipping sauce is, but I'd describe it as orgasmic. If anyone here finds themselves in southern UT...
This happened today at lunch, because of you guys:

My favorite fries in my area also come from a gyro joint called Taza. Their fries are good to begin with- thick, good flavor and crispy, but then they have this spice mixture you can sprinkle on them that makes them amazing. It has a bit of red pepper, some sumac and other things I've not quite figured out yet.
5 Guys with light Cajun (and a little salt still) is my go to!
In reply to Indy-Guy :
That's just shaped, deep-fried, reconstituted potato mash.
TIL that Five Guys has highly variable fries.

Yes, perhaps, but I don't require much from a French Fry except these three things:
Today, these did the job quite nicely thank you very much.
McD's fries are the quintessential french fry. They're not too thick, and salty enough. They're best when hot enough to still burn one's mouth. Perfect for eating in the car, when cheese fries would be too messy.

Local gyro joints ALWAYS have awesome fries. I don't know what it is. They're just frozen steak fries or whatever, but goddamn.
I love French fries.
I hate most French fries.
They frustrate me. It's so easy to make a good fry, even some of the frozen ones can be good, but most restaurant fries are terrible.
In true Canadian tradition I love fries and gravy. My high school cafeteria had the best fries and if you got the hamburger platter they would ask if you wanted gravy and would pour it on the whole thing, burger and fries. Some kids would then put ketchup on it and we called that the splatter platter.

I realize it now, but when Super Troopers came out, I didn't realize, "We're going across the border to get some fries and gravy, sir," was a poutine reference.
Fries and gravy is also a Baltimore thing, minus the cheese curds.
Oh, and by the way:
Hey, thanks for fixing the embed tool!

It may not have been.
We've always eaten fries and gravy, poutine is a recent development.
I don't eat dairy, so I like my fries and gravy straight up
One of the fry hacks I've learned over the years- cook them according to the bag. Once that completes, pull them out, toss them with olive oil, salt (yes, the pink Himalayan salt) fresh coarse ground pepper, maybe a little rosemary, some good smoked paprika, then turn the oven to broil and stick those bitches back in there for like 3 minutes. Best fries this side of a deep fryer.
This seems like an obvious time to offend southern Americans by reminding them that white library paste is not the gravy we North Canuckistanians are speaking of.
I went to PDQ today, their fries are not bad at all.

We Southeners know that the cold blooded northerners wouldn't know good gravy if they were drowning in it and accept that their shallow pride will never let their minds be open to the true flavors that are possible with sausage gravy.
Runny brown water does not a gravy make.
Well in that case, any time is a good time to offend southern American
I thought fries with gravy were a normal thing until I started traveling around. It's depressing what much of the country considers a diner.

But to be offended by you, I must first care about your opinion. And since I don't...
Gravy on anything is gross. It's like eating flavored snot after someone sneezed on your food.
("What about that time you ate like half the biscuits and gravy that were put out meant to feed a group of thirty?"
That's different. It was the morning after an evening of great consumption of the beer and spirits kind. I've eaten live insects while in the midst of morning-after starvitude.)
In reply to Knurled. :
I would invite you over for gravy, especially the sausage gravy I made for dinner tonight, but Cleveland is closer to you. Go there, to the Greenhouse Tavern, and order the gravy frites or the no name frites. If you still think gravy is gross, I'll PayPal you a refund.
I thought I'd had good brown gravy before, but no, what they serve at Greenhouse, I could drink by the pint.
