I know, right?!?! It's like every peanut shell has big white blanched peanuts inside, never those tiny dark brown rotted ones. Should rename themselves "5 Guys Peanuts" and sell what they're really best at doing.

Same here

If I eat them at home, I put them in the air fryer to crisp.

I like the Parmesan fries at Mccracken’s pub in Leesburg. Okay, they are not a stereotypical French fry but are excellent. If you want to take it up a notch, try the Shepard’s fries.

I keep a record of who has good fries and who has bad fries (I also do coleslaw and onion rings). I like the fries at Bonifay country club and at Beef O'Bradys. Darrell's Diner and 5 Guys are bad. Gators are so-so. By keeping my list, I know what to order at each place

I remember them being in a large paper cone with vinegar. They were the best!

I had cold fries in Cane Garden CC and I’m not saying what happened when I complained to the kitchen
