Evaluating Wendy's New Fries

Here's the thing, I'm a fan of freshly-cut fries as much as any other food fanatic, but the thing is, when I go to a fast food restaurant, I want what you expect, pre-cut and salty and delicious. If I wanted fancy fries I'd go to Cafe Lalo or some place of the sort. Having said that, I still really love Wendy's and it's the place I go for fast food 98% of the time.

I'm content with what they gave me yesterday in terms of fries, I think they did a pretty good job of it actually for a massive chain like them. They tasted like real potatoes and looked the part (with the skin on and everything). They however, do not satisfy my search for poutine in New York, I might just have to go back up to Quebec to get some (that would be a pretty crazy post wouldn't it?).

Ultimately, they were good fries and Wendy's should be proud however, I do have a few criticisms. "Sea-Salt" doesn't mean under-seasoned. They needed more salt; I really only tasted potato, which isn't bad, but does get a bit mundane after a while and would cause me to slather them completely with mayonnaise. As well, I'm not sure what "natural-cut" means; I have a feeling that they say that so they don't have to lie and say "fresh-cut" which they weren't (they were too thin). Those were my only two problems.

I'm still satisfied as always with Wendy's and I'd like to congratulate them on their new fries.
