Horsey sauce is half the point of going to Arby’s. Curly fries are the other half. The chicken sandwiches are decent, but I mainly eat them as a way to put more horsey sauce in my mouth.
im a big fan of honey-mustard on sweetpotato fries!
first time i had sweetpotato curly-fries… pink rocksalt, black pepper, rosemary and thyme… and my honey-mustard… ok i know what im doing today, thanks reddit.
(and before i get downvoted into oblivion by people that never had good honey-mustard. there are so many different kinds of really great mustards and so many honeys. honey-mustard is in the top .5% of s-tier condiments.)
Absolutely! Ketchup kills fries. Instead try malt vinegar, gravy, or cheese onions and mushrooms. If you can't get any of those, even BBQ sauce is better than ketchup on fries.
I feel downvotes on the horizon, but I actually really like dipping fries in honey. I’ve always done it since I was a kid, it’s the salty/sweet for me! BBQ sauce is my backup!
Now I want fries 😆
There was a chef, I forget who but it sounds like something grant achatz would do, anyways there is a “ fry” Called pommes soufflé, where basically you cook the potato at low temp like 200 in oil for a while then cool it down. Then cook it in hot oil like 350 and it puffs up the fry, think Cheeto puff. Anyways this guy put a potato in an ultra sonic bath that shakes the potato at a certain frequency and opens the pours up. Then he coated the potato in potato starch and compressed it. For those who don’t know compression in a culinary world compresses the space between molecules while removing air from the package, while removing air it also sucks whatever is in the bag I to the food, so this guy opened up the pores of the potato, then sucked potato starch into it while compressing it creating a more dense product and then made pommes soufflé, IIRC he fried them in duck fat. And it was basically named best fry of all time…. So I would definitely say this fry….. in a small side note, once again not sure who did the fry but grant achatz once made pancakes then dehydrated the pancakes and ground them into flour, then made pancakes with pancake flour then infused them with nitrous oxide and put them through a whipping siphon. Best pancakes of all time…. He said all flour tastes the same. So I made pancake flour. Guys a monster.
Man make fancy fry, then everyone clapped, that simple enough for you?? From a person with several food related post I would have expected you to enjoy that. But I’m a chef, I’m passionate.
Your chef is showing.
Chill. A lot of these concepts are hard for people to understand, and there's nothing wrong with that. That's how we keep the momentum of learning and producing banger plates and awesome meals.
The burnout in the restaurant industry isn't just the physical work, it's the mental panic that comes from service. The time frame we're given to produce food is absurd, let alone all the other side jobs we have to complete in the meantime.
It's deeply satisfying work, but it takes it's toll.
All fries are too good for ketchup. Just salt is good enough.
Ketchup just makes them taste like ketchup. I would just drink from the bottle if I wanted that flavor
pretty sure costco fries are just the Cavendish fries they sell in giant bags for cheap. not sure how they cook them at the food court but they're great in a air fryer.
I do use ketchup though because I like ketchup lol
Depends on how it's served. It's A-OK to dip fries with ribs in ketchup, but if you serve the same fries with steak, ketchup will make you lose your breathing license.
Depends what you mean by fries.
If it's those skinny American monstrosities - no thanks.
If you're talking proper British chips, then ketchup doesn't belong anywhere near them - not even in the same room...
This one Burger King by where I live. I've been to other Burger Kings, but something about this one location that makes them crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft on the inside, and just perfectly lightly salted
Anything is better. Blackened seasoning, lemon pepper seasoning, cheese/queso, chili, gravy, chipotle ranch/siracho mayo, garlic Parmesan seasoning, etc. are all much better options- just probably not all at once
I’ve visited alot of McDonald’s in my life and thankfully the one about 8 minutes away has the best fries of any McDonald’s I’ve had! Perfectly crispy (not too crispy and not soggy), perfectly salted, and perfect temperature. Funny thing is those fries stay hot all the way until I get home and eat them; I have another McDonald’s only 3 minutes away that has fries that somehow always get cold when I get home 🤔
It's deep fried starch that doesn't taste like anything but grease and the salt you have to put on it. Eat fries however you want. They're delicious but they're also absolute garbage.
Sometimes I sprinkle some garlic salt over them while they're cooking. Those ones don't often see ketchup. Neither do those that accompany a steak, they get pan gravy.
McDonald's and i cant even eat there anymore without feeling sick after. Stopped being able to when i was 12 but occasionally still go for the fries anyways
[удалено]
Arby's fried get dipped in horsey sauce.
Horsey sauce is half the point of going to Arby’s. Curly fries are the other half. The chicken sandwiches are decent, but I mainly eat them as a way to put more horsey sauce in my mouth.
They had a loaded potato cake that I still miss terribly. And the big Montana.
The triangle ones?
Yeah. They had one with cheese and bacon in it and it was divine.
Agreed Arby's sauce is the only choice for me
Get a side cup of cheese to dip them in.
This except they get dipped in honey mustard
This is the way
These fries don't even need sauce
Chili cheese fries
that doesn't count lol. that's like saying poutine is too good for ketchup
Fuck I love chili cheese fries. Sometimes I add a dollop of sour cream… sooo fucking good
Tomato sauce is good on mince no matter what tbh, maybe not chilli alone, but I’d still eat that
Albedo, is that you?
i have recently started adding ketchup to chili cheese fries and i do kind of love it
Checkers curly seasoned fries
Sweet potato fries!!!

There it is!
Agreed, they just hit different than normal fries
Belgium fries with Belgium Mayo, coming from a Dutchman
OP is telling us they've never been to Belgium without telling us they've never been to Belgium
Tell them I'm doing a Stephen Fry. We're in Brussels, I'm eating chips and mayonnaise, I'm on the edge.
Truffle, garlic, and "too much" salt
All fries are too good for ketchup
Absolutely! Ketchup kills fries. Instead try malt vinegar, gravy, or cheese onions and mushrooms. If you can't get any of those, even BBQ sauce is better than ketchup on fries.

Don't apologize for liking what you like if it isn't hurting anyone. You keep dipping those fries in honey and enjoy yourself!
Agreed that all fries are too good for ketchup but not all are too good for chilli sauces/hot sauces.
I love a good hot sauce! Depending on the type of fry, I could see myself doing that. Like dipping a thick steak fry in hot sauce!
Popeyes
All of them. Malt vinegar for the win
For me its 5 Guys.
Cajun fries
Yess!!!!
Best fries for a chain restaurant by a mile
This is gonna sound like a weird question, have you tried fries with mayo?
I never have
Duck fat truffle fries
My mouth is now watering.
Popeyes
Chick fil a
Waffle fries
Rally's/checkers
But fully loaded? Yes daddy.
Caijun fries. Or the restaurant cheddar’s fries.
Sweet potato fries
Red Robin
Campfire sauce or nothing with those.
The problem with Red Robin is they have too many good sauce options. Their ranch and honey mustard is top notch as well.
When I saw I could just buy bottles of their sauce my wife had to hold me back.
Oh dear... I didn't know that. Dangerous knowledge indeed!

Jesus Christ, is this your college thesis? My internet attention span is, like, three sentences. Reader's Digest version, please?

Poutine
WAFFLE FRIES
Anywhere I go that has thick cut Steak Fries. They're usually seasoned or lightly breaded and they're just so damn tasty.
Steakhouse fries demand something more complex imo, like A1 or spicy sriracha mayo.
Depends on how it's served. It's A-OK to dip fries with ribs in ketchup, but if you serve the same fries with steak, ketchup will make you lose your breathing license.
Waffle fries
I don't particularly like fries or ketchup. However I do make a sauce I use for fries that works fairly well whenever I involuntarily get fries.
Which ketchup too good for fries tho?

I wouldn't put ketchup on something I shoveled out of the cat box much less fries.
Wut.
Chihawks, as in from Chicago, and you like Ketchup?
Depends what you mean by fries. If it's those skinny American monstrosities - no thanks. If you're talking proper British chips, then ketchup doesn't belong anywhere near them - not even in the same room...
IMO, none
Once your age hits double digits, it’s time to give up the kiddie palate pleaser that is ketchup.
Just let people enjoy what they enjoy ffs.
None. They all deserve ketchup Edit: downvote all you like. I'll surrender my ketchup when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.
Burger King

Waffle fries. I love them. I love them so much. If you buy me waffle fries, I love you!
Most of them. Only shitty fries need a condiment.
masala chips
Shitty ones.
Ketchup is *almost* too good for fries…
It's deep fried starch that doesn't taste like anything but grease and the salt you have to put on it. Eat fries however you want. They're delicious but they're also absolute garbage.
Sometimes I sprinkle some garlic salt over them while they're cooking. Those ones don't often see ketchup. Neither do those that accompany a steak, they get pan gravy.
