October Top 10: French Fries

Welcome to the first installment of what I plan will be a monthly event: the top 10 list! I know, not a creative title, but that is what it is. Today's top 10 list is something near and dear to the hearts of all veggies: french fries. Why, you omnivores may ask, would french fries be so important? Well, the answer is simple, really: when all your buddies go "Hey, let's go to [fast food establishment]," do you want to sit at home just because you can't have a cheeseburger? Doubtful. Instead, you tag along, and have some fries. But, to be fair, you really can't compare the fries at, say, Red Robin (which btw are perfection!) to those at a fast-food drive through, so I narrowed it down to fast-food establishments only. And to mix it up, we're doing the top 5 and the bottom 5. Because a top 10 is too boring :P

Top 5 Fries:
5. Taco Bell: Yes, I know, T-Bell doesn't have fries. But they do have more vegetarian options than any fast food establishment ever. Therefore, they must make every fast food top 5 list.
4. Jack in the Box: They give you 3 different options for types of fries! How cool is that? No one kind is amazing, but choices are nice.
3. Chik-Fil-A: These folks have figured out the secret of fries -- a big grippable surface, perfect for dipping.
2. Checkers/Rally's: 1 order of seasoned fries + 1 milkshake = oh happy day :)
1. Arby's: Two words: Curly fries. Oh yeah, and horsey sauce! Are you thinkin' Arby's? 'Cause I am.

Bottom 5 Fries:
5. McDonald's: Honestly, McDonald's fries are not bad. If ever you will go through a drive through and receive cold, ancient french fries, though, this is the place it will happen.
4. Wendy's: There's really nothing wrong with Wendy's fries, they just bore me. I wouldn't pick them if given a choice.
3. Burger King: They just taste funny. I don't know why, I can't describe it, but they do.
2. White Castle: The fries taste like they were fried not only with the onions that fill the entire establishment with their odor, but with the meat too.
1. Steak 'n Shake: If your friends want you to tag along to Steak 'n Shake, don't friggin bother. The fries are pathetic, and not even cheese sauce can save them (plus, the grilled cheese is not much better). If it's Steak 'n Shake or bust, I'd rather bust.
