Seven Best Potato Fries

Wednesday again, ya'll!

Why do people call Wednesday hump day?  I will not google this...I want my readership to explain it to me.

I love Wednesdays but don't like that nickname for them...maybe I need to understand it better.

Today I am gonna go back to my fast food ways and discuss fries.  Nothing pairs better with a burger.  NOTHING.

Sometimes KM and I would go on a fast food picnic and get burgers from one place, fries from another, and beverages from another and dessert from a fourth.  It was a fun way to spend time and enjoy a meal in the car and expand our waistlines.  I need to patent the idea, so much fun - try it!

Without further ado, here they are!

Seven Best Potato Fries:
 

• Chik Fil A's Waffle Fries.  These fries have some (potato) meat to them!  They're perfectly salty and have a high crispy to tender ratio which puts them one step closer to perfection.  You must try these, you'll wonder what you were waitng for.
• Arby's Curly Fries.  How do they do it?  How do they make them curly like that?  My family has a strong Arby;s tendency for many reasons but nobody can tell me how they curl them.  And why does every order only have like two of the perfect 4 inch long corkscrew ones?  A rip off.  What's the spices?  So gosh darn good, why is it only 9am?
• Eegee's Crinkle Cut Fries.  A Tucson staple, enjoyed with your sub from the same place and a fruity slushy Eegee.  Great, and now I've drooled all over the keyboard.
• McDonald's.  Do I need to describe these to you? They;are the most consistent fries and are often oversalted(love it).  Nothing makes a better snack than these with an ice cold coke.  Yep, I said it. 
• Fuddrucker's Potato Wedges.  My family used to go here for a lot of our life celebrations and I haven't been in years...like 5?  I have this image in my mouth and taste on my tongue of how I remember this place.  Afraid it won't stand up to my expectations but still willing to try again!  These wedges are much meatier than the waffle fries but seasoned with magic and finished off with some wonder.  SO FREAKING GOOD!  (Why do I do this to myself?)
• Honey Bear's Sweet Potato Fries.  Best sweet potato fries I've ever had. Probably lose the entire healthier aspect of the sweet potato in how they are prepared and seasoned but I'll be damned if its not completely worth it.  Never had sweet potato fries?  This is a good place to start. Let's go.
• Five Guys Cajun Fries.  You can get your potato fix here in one of two ways: regular or Cajun.  Well what is cajun?  Its spices and herbs.  It lingers.  It makes you eat more.  I don't know what it is but I do know that its de.lish.us.  And going with my melt in your mouth burger there its pretty much a slice of heaven here in the land of concrete and pavement. 

Did I miss any?  Do you have a problem with my list?  Take to the comments!

Seven Fast Food Chicken Varieties That I Love

Hola!
I'm no health nut.  Let me make that clear.  How could I be? I work in pastry.

Like you and you and you I indulge in fast food more than I care to admit.  I have standards though!  I can stop anytime I want to.  I am in control here!  I am.  I control my fast food destiny.

I cannot live on burgers and fries alone, but thankfully most places have a chicken alternative.  I quite love chicken!  Obviously, I will be posting my 7 favorite burgers eventually, but today's post is about my fast food chicken experiences.


Seven Fast Food Chicken Varieties That I Love:

• Whataburger.  Yep, a burger joint with the word burger in its name.  Their chicken strips may very wll be the very best I have ever had.   I have eaten a lot of chicken in my life.  Fingers, strips, nuggets, sandwiches, even salads.  Their chicken strip meals come with fries, Texas toast, gravy and ranch if you ask.  Coupled with a Dr. Pepper, that is one of my go-to pick me up meals. Deeelicious.
• Chik-Fil-A.  They claim to have invented the original chicken sandwich.  Its a real breast, combined with pickles and I order mine on a wheat bun.  Added bonus: waffle fries!
• McDonald's.  I do not care what you say, McDonald's chicken nuggets are off the chain delicious.  Honey dunked with a hearty helping of their salty fries is one of those guilt ridden meals that I never tell anyone about.  Except right there where I just told all of the interwebs.  Oops.
• Wendy's.  The 99cent crispy chicken sandwich is cheap and delicious.  For the price, and the hunger satisfaction value there will never be a comparison in my book. 
• Arby's.  Gotta love their roast beef first and foremost, but sometimes you just feel like a chicken. Their chicken fingers are fantastic!  Their ranch sauce is thick and different than other ranches out there, definitely worth a try.
• KFC.  I have a problem with eating food off of bones.  Long story.  However, a their chicken strips are just as good as their bucket of bones chicken. You also get to dip it in the coleslaw or drizzle honey all over it.  Side of mashers and the only gravy I eat and with the greatest gift God has ever bestowed upon us: biscuits. 
• Panda Express. Does this count as fast food?  I think so, because you get it really fast.  I'm not clear on the technical definition of fast food.  Anyways, I love orange chicken from there. All over the top of some chow mein noodles, and my american chinese food needs are sufficiently met.  

What are your favorite fast food chickens?  What defines a fast food restaurant? Talk to me!  I hate feeling like I'm writing for my own good.  I know this blog is mostly for me but I know you all are reading it, but not sharing feedback! Not just comments, texts, emails, letters of appreciation, all of these are accepted forms of communication here!
