My love of French fries runs deep. I love fries of all kinds – thick, thin, curly, sweet, fast food, or restaurant fries. Since becoming a vegetarian in eighth grade, my go-to meal at a restaurant is a salad and a side of fries – the best of both worlds.
The subject of fries brings up great debate questions to ask your friends. Best fast-food fry, best chain restaurant fry, to dip or not to dip, opinion of the lack of seasoning on Chick-fil-A fries, and even “gasp” those who don’t order fries at restaurants or need them with their meal. Where do you stand on such subjects?

You need to try Makin’ Waves food truck in Rowayton. Fries to die for with the perfect seasoning!
I think you need to add Swift on 2405 Black Rock Tpke Fairfield. They’re a ghost burger spot that sells under many names like Burgerz….but they make an excellent fresh lightly salted and crispy crinkle cut French fry. My favorite fry in the area. Well priced too.
