PPPPBBBBTTTHHHHTT!!!!

McDonald's French Fries can't hold a candle to: a) the Spartan Drive-in
in Sumner, Washington (high school hangout and the place a boy I loved
desperately in 1981 worked...) and THE BEST IN THE WORLD (drummroll) b)
at McMenamin's (sort-of but-not-really chain of brewpubs in Washington
and Oregon). Fresh potatoes, skins on, run through the cutter, slender
fries, lots of grease, light salt, and catsup or malt vinegar as you
will. Nothing better with a pint of Ruby Tuesday...
