Oh, I have and they're better but not at all the type of fry I like. I stopped ordering them years ago. Not worth the calories.

I couldn't agree more. Crappy fries no matter how well done or what you put on them although having them animal style is at least edible if you must. Skip the calories and get a shake.

In my book, any kind of potato starts out at a 5 on a 1-10 scale and only gets better.

I love potatoes too but do you like In & out fries? IMO, they start out with your 5 tater and bring it down to a 3. Most 3's aren't worth the calories.

That said, I think Shake Shack's fries are way better because they are crispy and hearty with good texture and they don't have a nanosecond lifespan like some fries, like McDs. I don't think Shake Shack vs In N Out is a fair comparison. Five Guys is a much better one on one comparison. McDs is more in its lane than Shake Shack - Just my opinion.

Five Guys fries are very good. That is the "type" of french fry that is totally worth the calories, at least for me.
The problem with 5 Guys is that if you don't bring in a family of 5, what are you to do with all the fries? :D |

So, I wanted to give the 8 Cheese a better chance by dining in - rather than the Kingly location (where I found they skimped on toppings), the Soho location served a very tasty 8 cheese with pepperoni - quite enjoyable at Pizza Pilgrims, and the rotating clips of SNES games playing in the background was quite fun.

They are flabby, not at all crispy.
"flabby" LOL. |
Celebrated Pi Day the only way a PizzaEnthusiast should!
(I think the 8 Cheese with Pepperoni from Pizza Pilgrims has become my new London favourite - there are so many locations, too - this is the Queen’s Park location) https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...05c8c0302.jpeg |

Yesterday I made Coq Au Vin for the first time in a long time, used the same Louis Jadot that accompanied the meal and Cognac used/flambed was the Kirkland XO Cognac and made enough to to reheat for today.
