Well, I'm under 70, from Calgary, and I call them chips probably about 50% of the time.

Recently? KFC totally changed their gravy from that good stuff to the more standard, microwave style ****.
I guess not recently, no. I'm 40 now and have tapered back on my fast food intake a ton over the past five years or so. Always loved KFC gravy, though, so I'm bummed to hear it changed.
When you talk about fries it's only okay to say 'chips' if:
a) you're born on the far side of 1950 as mentioned or;
b) you're ordering a fish and chips meal
Surprised nobody mentioned b) yet, as you get a free pass for that automatically. You'd immediately be thought of as an ####### if you said "hey could I please order the fish and fries?"
I wonder if we can all agree that Boardwalk's proliferation across the city is baffling? How does a company with such terrible burgers open eight locations in less than two years across the region?

Who has the best poutine around here? Obviously not BK, KFC...NYF is OK, but not fantastic. I had The Big Cheese years ago, I remember it being decent.

My wife is a poutine connoisseur, and she says Joey's is the best in town. If you're looking beyond chains, La Belle Patate in Canmore is excellent.

Sadly La Belle Patate stopped doing gluten free poutine a few years ago, but it was delicious. I just checked Joey's and they don't have it on their website, so I can't see if it is gluten free or not.
I don't get the love for In 'n Out Burger. It's good for sure, and a better quality than McDonalds for a lower selling price, but I don't personally find it in the league of say Five Guys. Not something I would go out of way for when i'm in the US. Whataburger in Texas puts In N Out to shame. Bobby's Burger Palace (Bobby Flay's place) is starting to expand and that place is friggin unreal. I'd take a cab anywhere in a US city to get one. The one outside ARIA on the Vegas Strip may have been the best thing I ate in Vegas last trip and it's pure fast food.
I feel like In N Out Burger is one of those places that if we actually had one, we'd stop carrying about it. Similar to Carl's Jr. and Popeyes. Those places have settled down now that they are mainstream here. No one feels the need to have to go there anymore.

Apparently they aren't expanding very far out of California due to quality of ingredients. I don't know if that is true or not.
I think that is true. Most of their restaurants are concentrated within a 4-5 hour drive of each other in California, Arizona, and Nevada. A few more have been sprouting up farther out though recently (Texas, Utah, and Oregon).
