AI Overview
// McDonald's used beef tallow to cook their
french fries for 50 years, from 1940 until 1990.//
The chain phased out the animal fat mixture in favor of vegetable oil
in July 1990 following consumer pressure regarding saturated fat consumption.Timeline: 1940 (Founding) rCo 1990 (Switch to Vegetable
Oil).The Change: In 1990, the 93% beef tallow / 7% cottonseed oil mix
was replaced to lower saturated fat content.Flavor Legacy: The original
beef tallow is widely credited with giving McDonald's fries their
original, superior taste.Settlement: In 2002, McDonald's paid $10
million to settle lawsuits regarding the mislabeling of fries after the
switch, as they still contained beef flavoring.

They call them wet fries out here in California, but they work for meEfye
"What the signals suggest
Wet fries are more of a regional or specialty item than a nationwide diner trend, often appearing alongside gravy-based comfort dishes.
The stronger, broader trend is that diners still sell fries heavily, especially in loaded or indulgent forms, but customers usually want familiar versions rather than radically new sides.
The recent chatter around diner fries looks more like a steady
comfort-food staple than a major new craze.
Wet fries in diner culture are basically a regional comfort-food offshoot of the long American love affair with fries, not a single clearly documented invention with one origin date. French fries became common in the U.S. in the early 20th century, grew in popularity through World War I and the interwar years, and were a standard diner and drive-in side by the 1940s and 1950s.
Where wet fries fit
rCLWet friesrCY usually means fries topped with gravy or another sauce, so they sit in the same family as disco fries and other loaded fry dishes rather than a separate national category.
That style makes sense in diner culture because diners were built around quick, hearty, inexpensive comfort food, and fries paired naturally with burgers, sandwiches, and gravy-heavy plates.
In practice, wet fries became popular as a diner-style indulgence in
specific regions and communities rather than as a universal menu
staple."

I'm in the South and fries and gravy are definitely not a thing here

Yes they are:
Googoo AI Overview
Yes, "wet fries" are served in the American
South, though they usually go by different regional names. Instead of traditional poutine, the Southern version of fries soaked in rich,
savory sauces often features country gravy, cheese, and sometimes
barbecue or pulled pork.Common variations in the South include:Swamp
Fries / Creek Fries: Crispy fries smothered in a combination of cheese,
bacon, and rich brown or chicken gravy. Some regional spots in the
Carolinas add pulled pork, barbecue sauce, and a scoop of
coleslaw.Hillbilly Fries: A popular appetizer or side featuring fries
heavily loaded with warm country sausage gravy and melted
cheese.Southern Disco Fries: A variation of the New Jersey diner
classic, featuring fries swimming in a thick cheese sauce and country
ham or brown gravy.If you are craving some, try looking for local
American pubs or Southern-style diners in your area, as these loaded,
"wet" dishes make great shareable comfort food.

and you've got to stop making statements that Americans like to eat
fries with gravy.

No he doesn't have to at all!

Frankly, it sounds stomach churning. Hank, is
fries with gravy a big thing in Alabama??

Joanie dear, use some AI:
AI Overview
Wet fries, typically made by drowning French
fries in rich brown gravy or barbecue sauce, are a popular Southern
comfort food in Alabama. Instead of poutine with cheese curds,
Alabamians often enjoy these fries loaded with savory gravies, queso,
or even slow-smoked meats like brisket and pulled pork.The appeal of
soaked, saucy fries is deeply rooted in the region's culinary culture.
Notable places and variations across the state include:BBQ Sauced
Fries: Famous chains like Full Moon Bar-B-Que serve beloved "Riblet
Fries," which top crisp fries with bite-sized rib meat, barbecue sauce,
and a pickle.Gravy Fries: Roadside diners and old-school burger shacks,
such as the Frosty Mug Burger Shack in Jasper, frequently offer
gravy-smothered fries.Loaded Wet Fries: Local spots frequently serve
fries drenched in queso, Alabama white sauce, or ranch, often loaded
with smoked chicken or carne asada

AI Overview
Wet friesrCotypically served smothered in gravy
or saucerCoare not a standard Texas staple in the same way as New York or
New Jersey-style disco fries. Instead, Texans heavily favor loaded
cheese fries, chili cheese fries, and asada fries over simple
gravy-soaked fries.Regional variations and top loaded-fry spots in
Texas include:Texas Cheese Fries: A massive favorite topped with melted shredded cheese, bacon bits, jalape|#os, and green onions, almost always
served with a side of house-made ranch. You can find this iconic dish
served everywhere from local diners to major chains like Chili's.Asada
Fries: Highly popular, especially in South and Central Texas, featuring
crispy fries loaded with grilled carne asada, guacamole, sour cream,
and queso.Gravy "Wet" Fries: While rare, some specialty burger
jointsrColike Mr. Juicy in San AntoniorCooffer a popular wet sauce or gravy option for their fries.If you are looking to try the Texas spin on

to find them and how local tastes shape up:Las Vegas: The craze is
huge, anchored by The Hat (6215 S Rainbow Blvd). Their "wet
fries"rCosmothered in hot brown gravyrCoand their secret-menu pastrami
chili cheese fries are major local staples. You can also find
variations of heavily loaded fries at spots like Mr Fries Man.Statewide
Trends: While seasoned fries are the top classic choice in Nevada,

gravy and chili-topped fries as beloved comfort food.

Bryan, how about your area?

AI Overview
In St. Louis, "wet fries" (or gravy-soaked
poutine-style variations) are generally a niche item rather than a
widespread staple. Instead of traditional wet fries, locals largely
prefer loaded fries, twisted ranch fries, and beef tallow frites.St.
Louis has a vibrant french fry scene, defined by specific local
favorites and top-rated spots:French Fry Factory: Located on N. Grand
Blvd, this is the go-to spot in the city for heavily loaded and topped
fries, rather than gravy-drenched wet fries.Twisted Ranch: Located in
the Central West End, this famous local spot is entirely dedicated to
fries and tots covered in dozens of house-made ranch and specialty
sauce variations.Mission Taco Joint: A popular local chain (with
locations in the Delmar Loop, Soulard, and Mid-Town) that is beloved
for its Carne Asada Fries, which are topped with grilled flank steak,
Chihuahua cheese, guacamole, crema, and pico de gallo.BolyardrCOs Meat + Provisions: Located in suburban Maplewood, they serve highly rated,
crispy beef tallow fries perfect for dipping into gourmet aiolis.If you
are looking for specific gravy or sauce-soaked dishes, you can also
find traditional poutine variants at spots like Eat Crow in the Soulard.

We need to hear from Ed and while he's vacationing on the Atlantic

AI Overview

to locally as "dirty fries," poutine, or disco friesrCoare very popular

parts of Pennsylvania, Connecticut residents love their fries smothered

I'm not a fan of ketchup on fries either, it just seems to overwhelm
the taste of the potato no matter how little is used. But will admit
if chili sauce is available it will get a dab on the plate. It's
flavorful and spicy without being hot or taking over the dish; pretty
darn good on onion rings as well. But it's not in restaurants as a

Based on your posts, which is all I have to go by, yes.

There are only three people currently on here who I
wish would die, and thatAs because I know how they vote.

To wish someone dead because of how they vote? Do you REALLY
think yours is the state of the mentally stable? Really?

Two of them are
male.

But you consistently PROVE you do NOT like females. You may not
want them all dead, you need someone to cook and clean for you, but
you would feel NO sorrow, sympathy or compassion if they were.
You provide the evidence of this yourself. You will have a
difficult time denying that which you provide. Your only out is to
claim it's all an act. But, then, you would have to explain why you
are so DESPERATE to appear to be misogynic if you're not.

Well, despise may be a bit strong.

I've not seen anything about either's cooking in the fast food
group. So, no, I have not noticed any such thing. I can't speak to
what anyone else has or has not seen.
