When hitting up a drive thru, you're mostly likely driving off with America's favorite side item and probably scarfing down a few even before leaving the drive thru window!

The french fry is America's favorite burger pairing and they are the best when eaten piping hot, crispy and with that perfect golden color with just a hint of salt. Once you eat one, it's hard to stop eating them all at once! French fries are best eaten just the way their served or when dipped in one of many different condiments - mainly ketchup while some like them dipped in mayonnaise, mustard or ranch. French fries are also great dipped in gravy and even milk shakes!

Our love for french fries covers many varieties - regular, krinkle cut, waffle fries, steak fries even curly. When it comes to fast food fries, which chain rules the french fry?
