Which fries are better wendys or mcdonalds

Wendy's needs to work on fry quality. Wendy's fries were disappointingly bland and the salt was unevenly distributed throughout the bunch, making for an unpleasant tasting experience. We did like that they were dry and not greasy, and were hand-cut, so you could taste some potato skin.

It made the French fries feel a lot less mass-produced. The "fry oil has not been changed in awhile" aftertaste was strong with this bunch, however. The Burger King fries were a pleasant surprise. They were thicker-cut than we remembered, with a crispy outside and warm potato-y inside. Our batch contained no disappointing cheap "end fries" from the bottom of the fryer. The fries also tasted very fresh, but could have used more salt.

We were a bit disappointed by the "processed" aftertaste that seems to plague all large-scale commercial French fries, but overall would not mind chowing down on BK fries again. These fries were indeed very fresh, and actually tasted the most like their ancestral food, the potato. They had a nuanced flavor with no hint of a weird after-taste. You might find similar fries at a mom and pop restaurant.

As a result, the fries weren't as crispy as they could be. But they were so delicious and plentiful that we weren't complaining too much.

Comedian Jim Gaffigan has devoted entire routines to the humble fry. It seems a bit of a strange marketing push, since fries should be hot and crispy by design, no? I ordered some from the chain as well. The Fast Foodist is a new MarketWatch column that looks at restaurant menu items through a critical and business-minded lens.
