I think mayonnaise is one of those things that's not great by itself, an
it needs to be in (or with) another food to be good.
My wife dips her fries in mayo, and gets extra mayo on burgers. Needles to say, I can't watch her do it. lol
I do think mayo can be good on some things. Sometimes I like to get a Whopp from Burger King, and I think the combination of mayo and ketchup on it (alo with the condiments) gives it a good flavor.
I've heard mayo with fries is particularly popular in some other countries, it's not really my thing.

House fries, House Beer, House burgers, any thing made as a specialty in house. Here in Utah we have restraunts that brew their own special Beer recipes. Also other restraunts that serve their own specialty Hamburgers. Not sure where you and Nightfox are from, But yes House fries are also a thing.

Example: McDonald's fries are frozen /before/ they are shipped to the restaurants. I imagine quite a few other fast food chains, as well as probably a good percentage of actual restaurants do the same.
I think what the OP was referring to was actually cutting, blanching,
and cooking the fries (without freezing) in-house, hence why they call them 'house fries'. For the record, I have also heard of this, but it's not nearly as often as it used to be. More fancier restaurants, like
steak houses, will still use the term, though.

As I recall, Burger King's were the same way. I remember moving 36 pound cases of french fries (all in separate bags) around in the walk-in freezer. We had other stuff in the walk-in cooler. That was in the late 70s and early 80s.

One way to ensure of "hot fries" is to ask for "no salt", and have
salt packets at the ready.

My first job (years ago) was at a Dairy Queen, and their french fries were also frozen before being shipped to the restaurant. And I think Dairy Queen's fries are some of the most bland fries out there.. I'm not sure if they're still using pre-frozen fries. They've changed their menu significantly since I left.
At In and Out you can watch them peel, cut, then deepfry the fries right there.

I like In-N-Out. They don't have many locations in my area - They just built one about a 45-minute drive from me about 4 years ago, and I've been there a couple times now. It is still fairly busy a lot of the time. The first time I went there (4 years ago), I went inside rather than using the drive-thru, and I waited about 40 minutes for my food. I went again about a month ago and got through the drive-thru in about 10-15 minutes.. A lot of the time though, their drive-thru still has a fairly long line when I drive by there. They're building another location now about a 10-minute drive from me - I look forward to going there, but I'm sure there will be a lot of traffic there for a while..
Surely. The term "house fries" probably became more common in order
to separate restaurants from the norm, by offering a fresher
product.
If we're only talking fast food places, then I would tend to agree.
Burger King also has some pretty good fries.
But as for asking for "no salt," I couldn't do that. They're so much
better when they're salted right out of the fryer, since the grease
is still on them to act as a binder. ;)
i think burgerking and hardees have the best fries.
i wont eat at
burgerking anymore. one year i got so sick from the food i was sick for 2 weeks and couldn't eat the whole time.

House fries are simply fries that are "made in house," as in not
delivered to the place frozen. You usually only see that on menus
at fancier places, like steak houses, or places that want to sound
fancy.

From what I remember, there is a difference. Home fries, if I remember right, are more of a breakfast item where they cut the potatoes into squares or rectangles and serve them with your eggs and bacon, etc.
I haven't had a problem getting sick from Burger King. But I don't
go there very often anymore due to the cost (and a lot fewer good
deals with their app now).

rectangles, along with things like onions & bell pepper, called
Potatoes O'Brien:

Uhh, no. Again, "HOUSE FRIES" are a place that takes potatoes, cuts

SYSCO). Anywhere else, gets them delivered to them frozen, already
cut (PROBABLY FROM SYSCO).

Every 5 guys by me have closed down. Not sure if it's because of

can say that I /loved/ the fact that they overloaded the bag with

They used to actually be good. You could build your own burger
however you wanted, do whatever you want, and then they would stuff
your to-go bag with as many fries as you could handle. THAT was what
they were known for. THAT is what I would be a consistent customer
for.

Are you talking about just the meat patty part? Cause, no. The meat patty at a fast food place can/will never be as good as one you grill at home. The sauces and other things is another story. The lettuce and tomatoes and onions you get at the store might be 'too' fresh ;).

Tried to have my wife look up the price of this, but it's morning so the focus is breakfast right now. However, even she took a guess that it's probably about $11-13 for this "value meal" at any given time. However, there is the once in awhile offers where you might be able to get it for much cheaper, and sometimes even free with collected points or whatever.

They aren't flame broiled anymore? I suspect they legally shouldn't be able to claim they are if they aren't.

But Wendy's is a place I go to often if I want a fast food burger.

saw the 100% beef while in this conversation when I decided to go to McDonalds' website to check prices on their "value meals" (which
I don't think were there, anyway).
So what you're saying is, wherever they have "100% beef" they're

Not sure if Subway claims 100% anything anywhere, but I heard that
their meats (salami? roast beef? ham?) is all actually turkey. No
idea how true that is.
Also, I bet the FDA allows for some percentage of random crap even
when you state "100%" anything. That's just a guess/skepticism
though :).
This could be wrong, but I thought there was a law listing exactly
what you were allowed to put into hot dogs. The rumor was that
what's left over after /that/ was sold to PepsiCo (aka Pizza Hut and
Taco Bell).
don't get sick from it, I can still enjoy a grilled hot dog once in awhile, even knowing that all of this is possible. :)

It's meat, just not high quality meat. And might in cases be the *kind* of m that was advertised (e.g. hamburgers made of kangaroo).
Often times it probably has soy (or other things) for filler.. and sometimes the percentage of filler is significant.
Nightfox wrote to phigan <=-
I've heard a rumor that McDonald's uses sawdust as filler, and another about McDonald's using "pink slime", but I've always thought those are just myths. I think the pink slime one in particular has been debunked
as false. Also, Google sez the sawdust rumor comes from the use of cellulose as a filler.
Denn wrote to Nightfox <=-
McDonalds, claims 100% beef, I wonder though.
I'm sure the big chains buy from sources that use plant and grain fillers.

"100% beef" could still include beef lips, intestines and assholes,
too. Much like the probability of what most hot dogs are made of (the leftovers of the animal that the butcher can't sell). ;)

As far as I've witnessed, hot dog packages only seem to tell you what kind of meat it contains (ie: turkey, pork, beef, etc), not what actual parts of said animals are used.

The pink slime is machine-extruded chicken, and it's true. Comes out of a nozzle with the texture of soft-serve ice cream.
It's in a city a few miles north of me, less than 10 miles, the City

Nice, I found burgerbarutah.com and will have to ask my UT friends about going there ;)
Also, Arby's has a couple of seasonal fish sandwiches that I actually think are some of the best fish sandwiches in the industry - One of them is the King's Hawaiian Deluxe fish sandwich, which has a King's Hawaiian bun, tartar sauce, lettuce, tomato, and cheese, and I think the fish fillet they use is pretty good. I think their curly fries are pretty good
In the US, food companies are legally required to list ingredients
on food packages sold in stores (at least, for most foods). For
instance, this package of Bar S Franks:

The package says "made with chicken, pork added", but if you zoom in
closer, it lists ingredients on the bottom.

tacobell is the one that fucks with the meat. they use that modified vegetable protein in their meat to skimp.
Yeah, that's not the first time I've heard of this, either.

It's not, by any means, "good burnt ends". Burnt ends should be crust
on the outside, and juicy and fall/pull apart on the inside. While
there wasn't any grizzle in them, they were super tough.
Although, I would imagine if when I had them they were cooked quite
a bit less, they may not have been nearly as bad. With all that
said, I'll most likely never try them again. I'd much rather make
my own burnt ends on the smoker, since we don't have many good
/real/ BBQ joints around here.

I don't go there to often as their drive thru is slower than molasses running up hill, going inside is about the same.

Back in my college days, Jack in the Boxes weren't open 24 hours - but
the drive-thru was. As long as they had food left and were closing
up, the drive-thru window light was on.
Wendy's for awhile had the Son of Baconator for $3, now it's over $7. Best deals we get right now are from habit Burger.

Yeah 10:30 seems to be the standard time, at least the places 'round here. Love Mickey-D's breakfast. I usually got either a couple sausage, egg and cheese McMuffins or their pancake breakfast.

Not sure about them being stale or not, I want taco's with a crunchy shell. Jack has soggy shells and no where near as good as tacotime or del-taco.
The breakfast menu is pretty good, although I prefer a suasage
egg McMuffin from McDonalds.
My favorite breakfast items from McDonald's are their sausage & egg McMuffin and hash browns...
You've never had a Dairy Queen Blizzard?
The Whopper is my favorite thing from Burger King. I like
their onion rings too, but I agree about the gasious
side-effect.
As far as chicken nuggets, I actually like McDonald's chicken
nuggets. KFC also has some chicken nuggets that I think are
pretty good (I do like KFC's seasoning).
Ooo, I love those. Before the price almost doubled, I use to
hit the DQ near me on a weekly basis during warm weather.
Downing a couple of chili-cheese doge and a small blizzard out
on their patio, made for a nice time.
I'm a curly-fry fan, myself. Mickey-D's are good, but a little
thing; I like my fries on the thick side, with ridges.

items.

order is missing an item (which could be the fault of either the

Nope. I'm not sure if I'm lactose intolerant or not, as after recently eating ice cream sandwiches, you would've thought I had eaten a pallet of Bush's Baked Beans instead (that's another item I haven't tried).
The Whopper is my favorite thing from Burger King. I like their onion
rings too, but I agree about the gasious side-effect.
I recall several items over the years that they no longer have.
1) Yumbo - Hot Ham And Cheese Sandwich
2) Veal Parmigean (sp?). A veal patty, with mozarella cheese, and marinara sauce.
3) Hoagie - a cold ham and cheese sandwich with mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato.
4) Hot Apple Pie.
They have a fish sandwich, but it used to be called "The Whaler".
I love their chicken nuggets (original flavor) and the original chicken sandwich.
The best part of the burgers is that they are flame broiled, and not swimming in grease, like at Wendy's, McDonald's, and other places. However, they can aggravate my acid reflux.
I worked for 2 different franchises in the central Arkansas area from 1978 to 1984.
I liked KFC when they had the boneless deals. I especially love their cole slaw.
The sausage & egg McMuffin is one of my favorite fast food breakfast items.
While I do enjoy those, they've also (finally, as it seemed to take a bit) adapted from the steak, egg, and cheese bagel and made a McMuffin version of it. It's wonderful. I've never really been a fan of bagels, so while that was a thing I was always like "man, they should make this on a muffin," which they eventually did!

I miss the old days of having a drawer full of to-go menus, calling the restaurant and knowing there wasn't a middleman involved. Heard too many horror stories of delivery companies gouging customers and screwing restaurants.
Peak breakfast fast food has to be the Carls Jr. Breakfast Burger. It's a burger with cheese, sausage, an egg and hash browns, somehow all barely contained in a bun. Then, to add to it, the combo includes MORE HASH BROWNS.
KFC used to do a skinless chicken, I believe it was baked.

You've heard the other rumour, right? McDonalds started a
shell company literally named "100% beef" to supply their
own restaurants. They could then give the restaurants
whatever they liked to put in the patties without it being
false advertising. The contents are truly "100% beef"
brand! Any misunderstanding is the fault of the customer :D
They were similar to Denny's (and I'm disappointed to see they've closed a lot of locations too).
Yep. I like to get a fish sandwich sometimes when they have them available. And I wish they had them available all the time. I think McDonald's is the only one that permanently has a fish sandwich on their menu (or maybe I'm wrong?).

Lyon's restaurants in the SF bay area competed with Denny's.

We were polite and quiet, we tipped as well as we could being poor college students, and the restaurant was empty, so they didn't mind us taking up a table for an hour or two.

I wonder where he/she got their instructions from?
i hope all those people are put in prison, including the ones following the order. nothing will happen.
Yeah, I'm by no means a competitive eater, either. I tend to
like Chicago dogs, which usually have mustard, onions, pickle,
tomato, and some mildly spicy peppers on it.
Ketchup has no place on a hotdog. All that is required is
relish, mustard, and saurkraut. ;-)
Yep. I like to get a fish sandwich sometimes when they have
them available. And I wish they had them available all the
time. I think McDonald's is the only one that permanently has
a fish sandwich on their menu (or maybe I'm wrong?).
Also, I only really like sauerkraut if it's with a bratwurst,
Polish dog, or similar. I don't really like sauerkraut on an American-style hot dog.
And pineapple has no place on pizza, but there it is.
Saurkraut has no place on this planet IMHO>
Ahhh the great Pinapple on Pizza debate, I for one like a
slice of Hawiian pizza once in awhile.
Some like it some don't, IMHO Pizza has not blueprint, you can
make Pizza the any way you like and it will still be pizza.
... Ever catch yourself replying to the tagline?
Ok, now I'm hungry.
There's another restaurant chain in the western US called
Shari's which closed all their locations in my state a couple
years ago.. I miss them. They were similar to Denny's (and
I'm disappointed to see they've closed a lot of locations too).
...After two days in hospital, I took a turn for the nurse.
When I was a teenager, we had a restraunt called Sambo's on
state street, in Salt Lake City.
Pineapple, canadian bacon and jalapeno. I'd do it.
Mix it up and replace the canadian bacon with spam or anchovies some time. I probably said this before.
Nick,

Never thought of tomato on a hot dog...but I do enjoy them.
White Castle burgers...are affectionately known as "gut grenades".
I believe Burger King has one year round. Arby's and Wendy's only have them during Lent.

Polish dog, or similar. I don't really like sauerkraut on an
American-style hot dog.
I tried sauerkraut way back in elementary school nearly 60 years ago...and I didn't care for it. I guess one has to acquire a taste for it.
A couple years ago, I noticed Popeye's has a fish sandwich during Lent too.
Nutritional Downsides:
Polish dog is probably the only thin
like sauerkraut with.

I've also heard them called gut or butt bombs. I love 'em.
Unfortunately, since the prices have shot up, I get them much; six bacon-cheeseburgers for $13.xx? Fuggetaboutit!
I think sauerkraut is only really good with certain things. A bratwurst or Polish dog is probably the only thing I like sauerkraut with.

They take their responsibility to feed and provice comfort for people displaced by disasters and first responders seriously.
Unless you happened to be living in NC during the last hurricane
disaster that hit in the mountains there.

As for Krystal, you can buy the White Castle burgers in the frozen
food section at many grocery stores. Those are affectionately known
as "gut grenades"...but, I personally love sauteed onions.

I like it with... more cabbage!
Squeeze out all the vinegar from the
sauerkraut, mix it up 50/50 with
regular cabbage, cook together with a
bunch of butter and paprika in the
oven.. mmmmmmm.
Sauerkraut is "really good" with most basic meats. You roast a chicken in the fireplace, sauerkraut will work fine with it. You roast ribs, same thing. It is a classic with sausages or burgers.
I could see sauerkraut being good with meats like that. And as a side note, I've never seen or heard of anyone using their fireplace to cook food. :P
I think that's a Chicago thing - pepperoncinis, chopped onion and
tomato slices.

We're talking about Waffle House, not the federal government.

Sautee onions on a skillet, make a burger patty next to them. Smash
the patty down, and when you flip it, put it on top of the onions.
You get all of the hamburger grease cooking with the onions.
Slice of american cheese on top a few moments before taking it off,
and don't forget to grill the bun. Perfection.
Not pepperoncinis, but pickled sport peppers. Then mustard, chopped
onion, tomato slices (or wedges), relish, pickle spear, and a dash
of celery salt on a poppy seed bun.
IMO, the best way to eat a hot dog!

one of my favorite foods ever is a good quality mustard dog with
onions.. simple perfection
I produce a whole lot of cabbage at home, therefore I produce a lot of sauerkraut as a cheap way of preserving it. I remember watching a video review for a fermentation tank and the guy running the review said "I don't know who would need a tank as big as this one". I have 6 which are about the same size as that one.

Polish sausage, with a french roll, sauerkraut, good stone-ground mustard and a lager - wonderful!
I should try that. I've been trying to cut down on bread in lunches and
I am a cheap bastard. The fireplace is already lit up in order to warm the house, I might as well take advantage of the fact the fire is going to get stuff cooked.

My wife has been baking up some "out of this world" sour dough bread.
this week she made a batch half white half wheat, we had ham eggs and
sour dough bread for breakfeast, it was great.

yup i love raw chopped onions on everything. i dont like them
cooked.
Years ago, I worked in downtown San Francisco - we had a food truck
that took their hot dogs very seriously. I remember those Chicago
dogs fondly.
fresh sourdough, sliced thin and fried in a bit of olive oil with an over-medium egg on top. Perfect!

Except when it comes to a well made french onion soup. ;)

Sport Peppers: A few pickled sport peppers for a bit of heat.
