I used to live in Inglewood and fast food places all had plexiglass.  You had to pass about Pico or Olympic, depending how east you got, for those things to come down.

No but that store has bulletproof glass.

I don’t hate INO fries.  They’re different than McD’s which we all kind of grew up eating and to me are the standard in “good fries”.  I’ve always assumed the difference was related the freshness (confirmed by Blarg/Strads explanations).

If you’re expecting McD’s fries and you get INO I can see how you’d be disappointed, 

Basically, INO fries are the way fries should be.  Perhaps if they salted the fresh cut ones, that would draw out the moisture while keeping them fresh and ultimately frying more like people expect? I’m sure they’ve considered that but it’s like INO is open to new ideas.

Just like Christians.

McD’s blanches their potatoes then sprays them with sugar and sodium acid pyrophosphate.

Fresh cut means the potato retains all of it's moisture. That has to leach out in order to afford a crisp deep fry. From cut to deep fry is pretty quick at In N Out from what I've seen so there is no way the internal moisture can be removed. Regardless of how crispy the outside is the internal is water trying to escape and that's why they go limp and soft soon after cooking.

McDonalds cooks from packages of processed frozen French fries that already went through a process to extract enough moisture to afford them to cook up crisp, even from frozen. They've made a science of food prep to create what you take for granted, crisp French fries that hold their flavor and texture for longer. 

In the mid 1960s, when McDonald's first opened up in my neighborhood, they cut french fries fresh just like In N Out does now. You could watch the fry cutter through the window.

And then Roy Kroc ruined it.

Washington and 10th.  Supermarket went belly up.  Old run down strip mall with plenty of parking.  Fairly close to the 10 Fwy/Crenshaw offramp.  

That area is, how shall we say.... sketchy.

mcdonalds also adds a buttload of chemicals to their fries.

Hey Stad I think INO should get some of these chemicals

And that orange sodium crap that they sprinkle on Arby's fries - that's a hard pass every time.

Those Arby's orange sodium fries are so bad, I'd almost rather eat an In N Out fries five minutes after I got them.

I really like Jack N Box fries, but I don't want to know what ingredients they use.

Ignorance is bliss.

[Taylor]

Chick-fil-A's waffle fries are by far the best fast food fries.

Farmer Boys has really good fries, too.

The all time "don't want to know" has to be the two Jack in the Box tacos for a buck.

Burger King might be the worst fast food chain but their fries are tasty

take some chalky meat substitute and add some spices. then put a tiny bit in a corn-like  tortilla, soak it in grease and fry it. 

finally, place it on the ground and have a fat chick step on it. 

Enjoy!

It looks like they use a kraft single for the cheese. I couldn't imagine eating a taco with american cheese

[yk9001]

I'm gonna be honest, I've never had a bad one.

 

Mystery meat, fried in the worst grease, a slice of american cheese, somehow they fit some shredded lettuce in there....

 

They're a fantastic drunk eat.

I can't explain JITB tacos, but I could eat them and don't care either. You can't explain enough how bad they are made, but you also can't explain why they are so good.

Also, add me to the Chik-fil-a waffle fries group. Those things are damn good and the coloring makes me think they use clean and fresh oil to fry them in.

[Stradling]

Clean, fresh oil makes a horrible fry.   You kinda need a starter batch of seasoned oil to give flavor.
