The color on those ribs is beautiful.

Bavarian pork dishes look amazing. Would have needed an extra bowl of that mushroom gravy for the crinkle fries.

Those French fries are an abomination. But "good god!" on everything else.

my retort is if you're going to put gravy on fries, crinkle cut is likely a +EV play since the ridges hold more gravy. think about it in the same way you should think about particular pasta shapes and sauce/gravy combinations

Only prob is that means they're mass produced while hand cut fries and grandma's home fries are elite.

Crinkle cut fries are the nuts. More surface area means more crunch, assuming that they're fried correctly.

McD-width cut fries> Waffle fries> thick steak fries> crinkle cut.

Two fried eggs with Japanese mayo, soy sauce, togarashi and dried seaweed. Notice the feeble attempt at a fork cut.

I had the thought of starting a Mcmansion Hell type blog but for restaurant plating but my pony is slow.

Yes. Doesn't really matter if they are fried correctly though.

Of course, true foodies only eat fries that have been hand-whittled by journeyman craftsmen.

On the subject of potatoes, does anyone honestly like chunky mashed potatoes with bits of potato skin?

No. Horrible.

I don't mind lumpy mashed potatoes, but chunky is a bridge too far. Potato skins are a fine offering, but pieces of them have no place in my mashed potatoes.

If it's garlic mashed potatoes, I'm fine with it. If it's regular mashes potatoes that I need to pour gravy over to give it some flavor, I'm not down with it.

Chunky mashed potatoes with the skins depends entirely on the potato used. Something like a russet is unacceptable due to thickness of skin, whereas little reds would be palatable.

I don't care for skins, but I'm partial to chunky mashed potatoes.
