Why French Fries Are the Best (And That’s Just Spud Science)

Let’s face it, French fries are the Beyoncé of side dishes. They’re golden, iconic, and universally adored. No one ever says, I don’t like French fries, without immediately being questioned about their life choices. And at The Craven, we take our fries very seriously because life’s too short for soggy potatoes.

First off, French fries are versatile little spuds of joy. They’re like the blank canvas of the culinary world, just waiting to be dressed up in cheese, chili, or a generous drizzle of truffle oil (ooh, fancy). Feeling salty? Regular fries have your back. Need a little spice in your life? Cajun fries are here to kick things up a notch. Want to pretend you’re being healthy? Sweet potato fries are basically salad, right?

And let’s talk texture. There’s nothing more satisfying than biting into that crispy outer shell, only to find the fluffy, steamy potato goodness inside. It’s the culinary equivalent of cracking open a book to find out it’s actually a choose-your-own-adventure. Will this fry get dunked in ketchup? Ranch? Maybe you’re a rebel who dips in honey mustard, no judgment here. The sauce combinations are endless, and each bite is a new experience.

But what truly makes French fries the GOAT of snacks is their sheer ability to bring people together. Think about it, when was the last time you saw someone frowning while eating fries? Exactly. It’s physically impossible. Whether you’re sharing a basket with friends or fighting over the last fry like it’s the final rose on The Bachelor, fries are all about spreading joy.

Of course, they’re not without controversy. There’s the age-old debate: curly fries versus waffle fries. But we say, why choose? At The Craven, we celebrate all fry forms, from the classic shoestring to the thick-cut steak fry. We’re all about fry equality, because every fry deserves a chance to be dunked.

And just when you thought fries couldn’t get any better, here’s the kicker: they’re perfect for any occasion. Date night? Fries are a flirtatious finger food. Movie night? They’re the original handheld snack. Breakup? Nothing mends a broken heart quite like a pile of fries, especially when smothered in cheese. (We’re not crying, you’re crying.)

At the end of the day, French fries are simply the best because they’re always there for you. They don’t judge. They don’t disappoint. They just sit there, perfectly golden, patiently waiting to make your day better.

So next time you’re at The Craven, don’t just settle for a side of fries, make them the main event. Trust us, you won’t regret it. And if anyone tries to tell you fries aren’t the best snack, just walk away. You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.

Craving fries yet? Yeah, we thought so. See you at The Craven, where our fries are always hot, our puns are always cheesy, and we take our love of potatoes very seriously.
