Eating Styles: French Fries Edition!

It’s Thursday again, which means it’s time for another eating styles poll! Up for debate this week? French fries.

Summer is a time for burgers on the grill, but no hamburger is complete without a side of these little golden munchies. No two fries are the same, but french fries do have several distinct styles. The Mickey D’s-style fries, also known as “shoestring fries” are pictured above.

You also have your…

Steak Fries (or potato wedges if the skin is left on)

These are thicker-cut and more potato-ey than regular french fries – kind of like mashed potatoes inside a fried shell.

Seasoned Fries

As their name would imply, these are regular fries with some sort of seasoning thrown on top of them. Flavors range from your typical Lawry’s Salt-esque seasoning to Cajun to rosemary, depending on the restaurant.

Curly Fries

Usually associated with Arby’s, this style typically comes seasoned and cut into fun spiral shapes.

Crinkle-Cut Fries

These are basically original fries, just cut into a crinkle shape (read: better for ketchup-grabbing) instead of a spear. They also tend to be a little bit thicker. You can find these fries in many a middle-school cafeteria or at Shake Shack

Waffle Fries

Served at Chick-fil-A, college cafeterias and random bars & restaurants.
