Location and speed are good points too.

Five guys is slow and you have to go in. McDonalds has a drive thru and takes 2 minutes.

I also prefer just a burger. Two if I’m super hungry. I found Rosie’s pretty good and you really have to work for it if you plan to drive to it and park.

I can't believe I used to eat a QPcheese and bigmac. No way I could do that now.

I swear there is something addictive they put in their stuff. That smell around any mcdonalds is grotesque, yet alluring. Its basically fart smell.

Rich women being celebrated for being rich women is very much in line with how we celebrate men for being rich. Seems like equality.

I haven’t tried Rosie’s yet, I’ll have to give them a shot. Class clown burgers are my favourite in the city, just so tasty and a pretty good price for a higher end burg (sub $15).

3 downsides though, it’s always incredibly busy, no onion rings and the fries are just crinkle cut McCain fries. The burgers more than make up for it.

To be fair McCain's Crinkle Cut are the best. If you're going to cheap out and get a consumer product those are tasty tasty.

Agreed there, I’m im making fries at home it’s crinkle cut. If I’m going out though I’d prefer to eat something I don’t make at home.

The mccain ones have a gross fake spice added. Can I not just get the tacotime ones? The no name ones seem to be the ones with out that spice blend.

Remember when you could buy those Tacotime sauce spice packs to make your own tacotime sauce?

Maybe those are the ones they use. The salt level is bad.

A great uncle of mine recently passed, was like a second father figure in my life, he would love to deep fry some homemade fries. Skin on, thick cut, so damn tasty

Sorry for your loss, that sucks dude.

Seems fries like that were more popular in the 90s. What did they call them? Potato wedges, I think.

Worst was if you had had been smoking weed all night and then you bought some. They'd dry whatever moisture you had left in your mouth/throat, so you'd need to really hose them down with ketchup. They were so good, but you were really dancing on the edge of choking the whole time.

My favourite hangover cure was a plate of fries and gravy with ketchup, and a glass of chocolate milk on the side.

Yeah, for air fryer you cannot beat Cavendish potato wedges. If you are going to conventional deep fry, the McCain crinkle cut work really well.

Over the years I've come to prefer tater tots to fries. I sprinkle some seasonsoning salt on them and put them in the air fryer and they come out almost as good as the old Taco Time tots.

Crinkle cut fries are the absolute worst type of fry. You can either have them soft and mushy or crunchy/burnt. I can't believe anyone would prefer that over a crispy on the outside, soft on the inside - as God intended in a fry.

This is exactly how I make mine, 360° for 18 mins (depending how full the basket is). Tater tot poutines or breakfast bowls at home are a delicacy.
