    I want to change my vote to "steak fries" as the "double fried" component is key. I've greatly considered an Amsterdam-style fry shop as my retirement gig

      Waffle fries are where it is at. Holds any condiment well. A good crispy outer layer with a creamy potato inside.

      Tator Tots done right are second, but under done or over done can destroy the tot experience.

      ETA: Looks like I accidental hit the crinkle cut fries in the poll. I need new glasses, desperately.

      i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

          Don't know that I would disagree, but since they were listed...

          Also, the most overrated fries are curly fries. The only good curly fries are the ones that are tight spirals. They rest a CRAP!

            Steak fries done right are great. Done poorly and they suck.

            Curly fries with a spice rub are horrible.

            Just regular fries in a basket, with a sprinkle of salt and the ketchup sprayed directly on them is my personal fave.

                Yup. I have no idea why anyone would ever choose the spicy curly fries over another option. They are terrible.

                          Sorry, but those are potato chips. Disqualified.

                          Standard fries, although I do think they should be twice fried for outer crispness. Steak fries are in second place, but seem to be harder for most places to get to the right crispness. Five Guys fries are pretty consistently awesome.

                              Time for ITC to retire. Maybe come back as ITC 2.0, or has that already been done?
