There are only 4 of those places actually in Canada. :p
I choose Arby's though. I greatly enjoy their curly or straight fries, but I prefer curly, and you get a choice too!

Checkers is damn good...but EW not WACKdonalds! Eat 'em hot and your lucky not to keel over from heart failure..wait 2 minutes and they're cold & useless.
Sonic is pretty good too. Arby's curly fries also need special mentioning haha.

I can buy any kind of french fries in the freezer at the grocery store, even the cheap FMV or store brand and turn those babies into crispy fries that delight..by cooking them on the stovetop in oil..draining them on a paper towel and seasoned with a little salt and pepper with Ketchup and Tapatio mixed together to dip it in..

I don't know if they make them as good anymore, but Nathan's of Coney Island had the best french fries in the universe. They came in a paper cone, and most were BIG, hearty, with crinkles and some small ones at the bottom of the cone. They were not like skinny little McDonalds fries.

In the Nathan's franchises, or the Coney Island location? The food is not the same.
When I was a kid, there was only the big Nathans in Coney, which isn't far from me. The foods they had were even better in those days. They had chow mein on a bun, roast beef sandwich, big seafood section, bar, clams, corn on the cob, hot dogs and burgers, and more.

had to vote JITB the curly fries are the absolute best... can't beat 'em..
although there is this local resturaunt next door to my dentist that me and the wife ALWAYS eat at.. called Tony's (not a chain) O.O omg their burgers are fucking amazing and their fries are also....
the patties are like a half inch thick (none of that squeezed the hell out of) burgers that are an inch thick including toppings and buns... and a small order of fries would easily take up the ammount of a large mcdonalds fries... if you weighed the food, tony's would like double mcdonalds for the same price.... but the best part is, half the burger weight is patty alone, not the breador toppings.... and they cook them soo good
they're also not uniformly shaped, so they're obvoiusly fresh.. some are thicker some are thinner (but not by some huge ammount) and some are oval some are round.. etc...
takes forever to finally get your order, but if you ask me that's a good sign... if a buger gets to you in 2 mins, there's no way it can be good..
wendys from that list. overall i like homemade in a frying pan or the kind they have at any bar and grill restaurant like chilis or things like that. also there was this place in our mall called the great steak and potato company that made these really good malt vinegar fries. of that list though wendys, though ive never eaten at checkers. i dont know why mcdonalds is so popular for fries, i consider them the average of fries, like the absolute median.

I like Arby's curly fries above other commercial choices.
But, to me, nothing beats the ones you can either make at home or get at the independently owned, non-chain burger and barbecue places here in Texas. Take real Idaho potatoes and cut them up into fries, leaving the skin on. Soak them in cold water to keep them white. Heat peanut oil to 325 and cook the drained potatoes for about 10 minutes and then remove them. Then raise the oil temp to 375 and put the once-cooked fries back in the hotter oil till they crisp up and turn brown. Nothing at any fast-food place can hold a candle to those.
The best chips you'll ever have will be from Belgium. Dont know why - but they're the best at it. Theres wont be able to be compared to these fast food places.
Out of the list though i'd say BK - maccy d's are too salty and limp for my liking.

I hate fast food, but i still eat it, and wendys and BK are where its at. Im on the east coast so we dont get this, but carls jr is pretty bomb too with a fat 6 dollar burger...
EDIT: Oh yeah forgot to say, best fries is definitely Great Steak & Potato company, or on the boardwalk in jersey.

McDonald's is a joke when it comes to fries, despite its showing here.
I agree that Belgian fries are unsurpassed, Lip! The Belgians use the twice-frying method to do their fries, too. I asked questions about their technique the last time we were there and watched their process in a fry shop. Unlike our tendency to leave the skin on, they generally peel their potatoes first, and they use a type of European-grown potato called a Bintje, which we can't usually find in the states. I expect they're sold in England. They also employ oil for frying that has some quotient of animal fat in it--usually duck fat. A ratio of two-thirds vegetable/canola/peanut oil to one third duck fat is the ideal, the fry-shop-owner said. They do taste uniquely wonderful. And they serve them with those wonderful sauces instead of ketchup. This whole subject makes me want to catch the next flight to Brussels.

IAP order them without salt then! I find Wendy's fries go bad within 2 minutes and become sticks of soggy starch and grease. I want to know if that rumor was true about mickie d fries, that when they make them before sending them to the restaurants, they soak them in beef broth. I think it is that superfine salt they use that makes them so good.
I tell McDonalds that I can't eat salt and make my fries fresh without,,,then I ask for packets of salt at the window...
I have a friend who has been doing the exact same thing for the last 20 years!!!!

In my opinion, I think wendy's is the best/healthiest fast food for you ever.
What does everyone else think?
Yeah the triple with cheese is very good for your heart as well as your waistline! LOL
I think KFC covered in cheese sauce is the healthiest fast food around!!! J/K!!!!!
I don't know if you can say overall Subway is the healthiest or not. Wendy's has several salads that if you don't use the dressing can be healthy as well as gettting a baked potato instead of fries. But then there are things that are gut busters at Wendy's too. When Subway makes their health claim that is like the lean meat subs with nothing on them that has more than 5 calories. No mayo, oil or cheese. Those "healthy" subs can quickly become fattening with the choices you make. But Subway is up there on the list of healthier choices. McDonalds is making a move towards healthier food, especially by offering fresh fruit choices with the kids meals. Out of those places with a deep fryer Wendy's is up there on the healthier list.

One of my first jobs was working closing hours at McD's....anything that was left over at closing time you could eat or take home. We used to make up bunches of triple and quadruple big macs ad qp's and a couple buckets of fries at about 10:55 and then go nuts after closing.
I love their fries but to this day I want to go into the back and cook my own burgers...:D
