I'm positive you and I could spend hours debating who offers up the best fries in the world, but I'd wager you'd never get an agreeable consensus. There are just too many different varieties.

McD's, Arby's, waffle fries, seasoned, battered, crinkle-cut, sweet potato, homefries... the list goes on forever, especially considering the limitless options of toppings and dips.

Eskimo Joe's cheese fries with house ranch... mmmmmm...

Unlike years past, the promise of free french fries comes with an actual cost at most places. The larger restaurant chains are requiring a minimum purchase to get your free fries, which is a bummer... but some places are offering fries free and clear.
