What's the Best Type of French Fry?

Josh has professed his love of wet food but doesn’t like zucchini lasagna because it’s wet 🤔

The best fry I've ever had was at a small, family owned burger place that was close to my apartment in my college years. They were small wedges that were seasoned and triple fried and they had the perfect balance of crispy, crunchy outer layer and soft, steamy centre, while also having just the right amount of seasoning to enhance the potato flavour without completely overshadowing it. I would eat at that place like twice a week just for those fries, until they changed to a regular fast food shoestring fry and I have never felt more devastated than that day.

Finding out that Josh is a metalhead makes everything else about him suddenly make so much more sense to me lmao

So I used to work for starbucks until mid-2020. They have a food bank donation program, but every attempt i saw them make it implement it was largely unsuccessful and eventually ignored in favor of continuing to throw food out (although we often would take home "expired" pastries and food and also pass it on to our unhoused regulars). The last attempt I was there for was unsuccessful because there was a specific person who was supposed to come and pick up food donations every week and they just stopped coming at a certain point, so food was piling up rotting in the fridge for weeks on end. i have also known people who were fired from starbucks for giving expired food to unhoused people.

The absent-minded professor was a 1961 movie that has a sequel called son of flubber(1963) and a remake called flubber in 1997 starring Robin Williams. Dr Dolittle was a very old book series and then a 1967 film starring Rex Harrison. Then Eddie Murphy made a new one and then Robert Downey Jr. The nutty professor was a 1963 movie by Jerry Lewis that many consider his best. Eddie Murphy remade it into an abomination that I think tropic thunder appropriately mocked, in principle at least.

On crinkle cut, my biggest gripe about Culver’s used to be the crappy cafeteria crinkle cut fries…but they changed something in the last 5ish years. Still crinkle, but SO good. Very crispy outside, and it has a long half life. McDonald’s has a 2 minute half-life (IMO). Culver’s crinkles hold for 30+ mins.

Growing up my Dad would deep fry russet potato fries in the backyard. The BEST part was he would deep fry the skins 😋. You should do an episode on scraps 😜😂

Marshmallow fluff is a staple in Sweet Potato Casserole. That's probably why they pair it that way in that restaurant.

The best French Fry is: All of them.

Josh the next time my husband plays in LA you Must come to the show !!! Also the potato wedge reigns supreme !!!
