In my small town of Forsyth Missouri, there are quite a few eateries
that serve the ever popular French fry. Of these, McDonald’s, located next to
the Country Mart, is pretty much king of the hill when it comes to serving what
a good fry should be; salty, crisp, light and not greasy! Sadly, this is not
the case at some of the other venues whose real names shall not be mentioned
here. Instead, I’ll use fake names. Take a restaurant named Charliuky’s for
instance. A this location, the fries are allowed to sit and soak up as much
grease as possible prior to serving. The end result is a greasy limp mess that
likes to stick to the plate and must be pried off. (This kind of fry abuse is
also practiced by Ronics and to a lesser extent Fat Diddlies).
At the opposite end of the fry spectrum is a burger and beer
joint on Highway 160 known as the Frosted Mug. Their fries are coated and
come out of the hot oil even crispier than those offered by Macs. They are
tasty and sell for about $2 if I remember correctly.
So, if you want some good fries and wouldn’t be caught dead
at Macs, then give the Mug a shot!
Update: April 17 - Charlie's just down the road across from City Hall in Forsyth has also upgraded their fries.
