And you’re out!
Beloved burger chain In-N-Out has taken a new test of French fries – with critics categorizing the “disruptive” side as “stale, room-temperature matchsticks”.
“Yes, they are famously and proudly fresh cut, using Kennebec potatoes,” the fast food pros at Eat This, Not That! is explained.
But, they say, the Southern California-based brand, now found everywhere from the Pacific Northwest to Texas and soon to Tennessee, the restaurant’s “notorious” reluctance to fry their high-quality product twice, or even bleached before they hit. fryer, seal their fate.
The not-so-hot finds earned In-N-Out a second-from-bottom ranking.
And it’s not the only chain to earn a good tsk-ing from taste testers — seemingly Teflon Five Guys, with its well-made burgers, high prices and seemingly unwavering popularity, got something good, ranking all the way to No. 9 on the unlucky thirteenth list.
While acknowledging the love of the boardwalk-style dessert, the fresh-cut, twice-cooked product earns something cool for being “notoriously on the greasy side,” with particular focus on their status as some of the “most a little healthy”. fast food fries” in existence, according to experts in the country.
And who can do no wrong, roster-wise, anyway? McDonald’s, that’s what – the fat knights at the Golden Arches earned top marks here, with insiders declaring that “fries often steal the spotlight from everything else on the menu, including burgers.”
Fresh potatoes are used, with styles rotated year-round to “guarantee seasonal freshness,” the professional eaters explained, calling the end result “light and starchy on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside (with just the right amount of salt for your finger – licking supremacy).
“McDonald’s French fries are undeniable and irresistible,” they claimed.
Relatively unsung menu board hero Wendy’s came in second, while underdog Arby’s managed to earn bronze at No. 3 for fries.
The coveted spiral seasoning — “a delicious blend of onion powder, cornmeal, garlic, baking soda and other spices” — bested other trendier offerings like Chick-Fil-A’s wraps , cut with waffles, which had to be satisfied with the place no. 5.
Hometown legend Shake Shack got a nod for its crease cuts at No. 7 — rated “some of the best” by testers.
