Tiny Tales from Brooklyn: French Fry Quest Part 2

Oh my how time flies when you're not eating fries....Can you believe it's been almost three months since I started my search for the finest fry in the city? I completely let this fall through the cracks! I bring shame to every salty potato lover out there!

I took a few days off after getting back from the future in-laws house, which was much needed after 4 days straight of family and feasting. You would think that my stomach was done with the consumption of grease, but alas, it was ready for one last dance. I was walking by "Five Guys" while out and about one day, which happens to be on my french fry list as one of two chain restaurants that I had intended to visit. I couldn't resist and had to pop in.

Five Guys is certainly not friendly to the vegetarians, so I was forced to order only fries for my lunch, which was perfectly fine with me, since the last week of my life had been even more gluttonous. The line was long, which gave me encouragement that something must be wonderful about this place to be bustling at 2pm on a Tuesday.

Had I not known that Give Guys was famous for their fries, I would have been pleasantly surprised by the awesomeness of these fries. However, because I was prepared for gloriousness, I was somewhat "meh" about the whole thing. For one thing, my fries were not salty enough and (gasp) there was no salt to put on them, which is completely unacceptable, folks. Despite the not-salty-enough factor, they were piping hot and crispy, which almost made up for it. Compared to other fast food chains, FG wipes the floor with Burger King and McDonalds. I still ended up eating the entire order and enjoying pretty much every bite.

All in all, really great fries. But nothing like the spectacular goodness of Pommes Frittes. *drooling on desk wishing I had some right now*.

So as a reminder:

Here is how each place is being judged, each on a scale of 1-5
