1. Not even close -- french fries all the way, but only if there's Heinz ketchup!

2. Tots or Crispy Crowns. Any other answer is uncivilized.

4. big thick-cut seasoned fries
Real ones, made from actual potatoes, not frozen processed particleboard fries.

It's tots. Repeat after me: it's tots, dammit.

6. Tots taste more like grease than potatoes.
Mind, I love greasy food under the right circumstance (that's a fancy way of saying "when I'm fucking lit") but I like my potatoes to taste more like potatoes than canola oil.

7. What tots are you eating?
Jesus woman, don't skimp on the tots. Tots taste more like PARADISE than anything else, like, in the world. Tottery goodness crunches and melts in your mouth.

I don't even know who you are. Have the Borg-trekkie things finally taken you?

9. The outsides get crunchy, but the insides get spongy with grease.
Too much surface area for good deep frying.

10. Good grief.
You don't deep fry commercially produced tots.

You vegans know nothing about cooking.

23. That's the thing.
If done right (and rumor has it I have high standards) everybody wins.

Except room service. I bet it's a bitch getting soyatoo out of upholstery.

11. Taco Johns Potato Oles (w/ optional nacho cheese sauce)
Edited on Thu May-29-08 09:18 PM by OmahaBlueDog
(edit: for those outside the Midwest; Potato Oles are like Burger King hash browns, only seasoned -- really yummy)

Sonic Tots close second

43. We have neither here.
One of my interview questions, the next time I'm in search, will be: "How close is the nearest Sonic?" I hadn't thought about Taco John's. Prob'ly should ask about that, too.

19. Waffle cuts from Chick -Fil-A are also superb
.. and I can't quit fast food. When I stopped smoking, I felt like a quitter. I decided then to remain committed to sex, booze, and fast food.

21. when i lived in Texas there were Chick-fil-a's and then i loved to Ca and there were none, well low
and behold the Krispy Kreme went out of business in my town and Chick-fil-a bought the property and there business has been going non stop, well except on Sunday of course. Krispy Kreme was only open for about a year in that spot and when it closed everyone attributed it to the not so great location, wrong!

I never eaten at Chick-fil-a but i know people do love it and imo Krispy Kreme is overrated.

22. I love Chick Fil A
Krispy Kreme is good when the donuts are hot -- otherwise, not-so-much.

24. Did they have Taco Bueno near you in Texas?
They opened two here, but one closed in 6 months. I was surprised -- because there are a bunch or expatriate Texans here in Omaha.
