I like home made fries with the skin on, and I know NYFries does their fries hand made AFAIK. But for some reason I'm not that ecstatic with NYFries. It's not bad, just not my thing when it comes to their fries.
And would Swiss Chalet qualify in the fast food category? If it does, personally I'd have to put it in the higher tier fast food. That said, I am a fan of Swiss Chalet, for their underrated and not very well known burger. Doesn't help that they keep renaming it, formerly known as canadian\banquet burger, it's now the Classic and Ultimate Bacon burger. Swiss Chalet is famous for their chicken, but if you're a burger fan I recommend trying it out their burger at least once. Tricky to order though, because even their own employees sometimes asks "we have burgers? hold on let me check with my manager..."
Quote:People always talk about the texture of the cheese curds being the important factor, and I agree - but I'll add one more key thing: temperature gradient. A large cheese curd covered in gravy will of course have different texture throughout, but will also have different temperature throughout. I find that this temperature gradient is important.
If you're not already in the Royal Canadian Poutine auxiliary brigade volunteer force or higher, I urge you to please consider joining. The force could always use more qualified Poutine officers.
