We tested french fries from McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King, and Chick-fil-A to see who does it best - and the winner surprised us
Hollis Johnson
July 13th is National French Fry Day, a necessary and important day to reflect on the ubiquitous yet humble golden star of the fast-food world.
The perfect fry is starchy, crispy, and a sturdy vehicle for our favorite vegetable, ketchup. Their acceptance in American cuisine is far-reaching; the french fry can be a gas station grab n' go, or a gourmet delight.
Burger King, Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, and Wendy's - the fast-food giants - all offer signature takes on the classic food.
McDonald's fries have had the same signature taste for years, while Burger King and Wendy's have changed their recipes in recent times. And Chick-fil-A's distinct waffle variation holds a fierce cult following.
But which has truly mastered the art of the fryolator? We set out to discover who makes the best fries.
