Burger King's New French Fries: Thicker, Less Salty

I tried them, I had to, since I always thought the whopper was decent (for fast food), but hated the fries at BK. The fries always had that plastic coating (potato starch) on them that didn't taste like potato, it just tasted artificial. That weird coating is still on the fries, but the fries are now about the size of Wendy's old fries. Because they are thicker, you can taste potato in the middle, before all I could taste was that plastic exterior. The fries I got were absolutely loaded with salt, so for the salt lovers out there, you'll still like them. They're still the worst out of the 3 major fast food places, but now you can taste a little potato.

Chicago: A Food Map for Lollapalooza Weekend

I would recommend Villains, they put out a really good burger and the bar is a lot of fun. I would also recommend Kroll's, one of my favorite burgers, but make sure you get the original and not the Big K. The original is a butter burger with 2 patties and a nice crispy edge, served in wax paper. The Big K is a larger patty that just didn't taste quite right. Both places are right near Lollapolooza.

Poll: Ranch Dressing on Pizza - Way or No Way?

If it's crappy pizza I'll dip it in ranch dressing, but I don't think it should be cooked with ranch. Normally I avoid this problem by eating more quality pizza, but sometimes when you're drunk....

Poll: Tomatoes as a Topping - Way or No Way?

No way, pizza already has tomato sauce, why put more tomatoes on it? It's like putting ketchup on a BLT, it makes no sense.

New in Frozen Pizza!

@dmcavanagh, I knew when I posted my comment on a pizza site I would get crap for not only eating frozen pizza, but for using a gadget to cook it :-)
It was a gift, so I didn't go out and buy it and as much as I hate to admit it, it does work well with Home Run Inn Pizzas, plus as an added bonus it makes the whole house smell like a pizzeria.

From Talk

New in Frozen Pizza!

Home Run Inn frozen pizza is the only frozen pizza that I will eat. Someone got me one of the Pizzaz Pizza wheel cooker things for Christmas one year and it cooks a Home Run Inn frozen pizza perfectly. It also works really well at reheating pizza.

Poll: Whole Wheat Crust - Way or No Way?

The whole wheat taste is too strong and overtakes the taste of the pizza.

Chain Reaction: Fuddruckers

I just had Fuddrucker's over the weekend and it did not disappoint. The burger was perfectly cooked (medium rare), and the taste was excellent. The Fudd's near my house closed down, so now I have to drive to get to the nearest one, it's always worth my time though. Every time I go to Fudd's I think "I should eat here more" but then I'm sure my heart wouldn't like that. I got a half pound burger, with fries and a drink for less than $10. It's not much more than a fast food value meal and is so much better tasting.

Poll: Do You Do 'Salad' on Your Pizza?

Never, the only cold thing that goes on my pizza after it has been cooked is Parmesan cheese, and even that's a maybe.

Home Run Inn Frozen Pizza. Yes, It's Good

I love the original style, the crust is almost corn-meal like and the cheese is so thick and the toppings are plentiful. I'm a sucker for sausage and pepperoni on any pizza and that's usually what I end up buying. I haven't tried the signature yet.

Poll: How Often Do You Eat Frozen Pizza?

The only frozen pizza that I eat is "Home Run Inn", which actually tastes like a quality pizza. I think they are only available near Chicago though.

Taste Test: Wendy's New Fries

I got them over the weekend and they had just come out of the fryer and I thought they were excellent. Wendy's fries have never seemed to hold up for very long, after about 5 minutes they start to taste pretty bad. I don't know if these are any better in that department, but they are very good when fresh. They seemed a little crispier on the outside and the skin added a little flavor to them. I didn't notice a difference between the regular salt and the sea salt, but I don't normally salt food anyhow. Overall, I would definitely get them again and I think they are an improvement over the old fries.

Slice Poll: When Did Your Love Affair with Pizza Begin?

I was about 6 years old and I had never had pizza, I have no idea why my parents never had it at home. I didn't want to try it either because it had tomatoes on it and I didn't like them. I got invited to a birthday party at a pizza place and ended up trying it because there was nothing else to eat. That started my love affair.

Slice Poll: Best Frozen Pizza?

I don't know if you can get it nationally or just in the Chicago area, but Home Run Inn frozen pizzas are excellent. They actually taste like a pizza that you would get at a pizzeria and not cardboard with sauce.

Poll: Is It Pizza If It Doesn't Have Cheese?

No, most bread sticks served up at pizza restaurants are just their pizza crust cut into strips and those aren't a pizza. Just like anytime you see a round item cut into triangles, someone will call it a pizza. A pizza should consist of at least a bread crust, cheese and some sort of sauce, otherwise it's just round flat bread.

Chain Burger Brackets: Wendy's vs. Culver's

you should only vote if you've been to both places. Culver's is better than Wendy's and it would suck if they lost just because people who haven't had the experience voted for Wendy's.

Chain Burger Brackets: Burger King vs. Hardee's

Stewmeat, if you look at the comments from day one, Robyn said it was how do you feel about the food at the restaurant overall, not just the burgers. Even still, Hardees has better burgers.

Chain Burger Brackets: Burger King vs. Hardee's

Until Burger King gets some french fries that don't taste like a plastic wrapper, I can't vote for them. Their burgers are decent, but those fries or horrendous.

AHT Poll: How Do You Like Onions on Your Burger?

I never liked onions period, mainly because they are such a strong taste they seem over power the taste of the meat. If I want meat and onions, I'll go eat meatloaf.

AHT Poll: What's Your Favorite Non-Beef Burger?

If it's not made from beef is it really a burger? Just because you serve something on a hamburger bun, doesn't make a burger.

Special Burger from Kuma's Corner in Chicago: Fatty Melt + Bologna + Mustard

Kuma's has the best burger I've ever had, all their burgers are fantastic. I'm going to have to try this one, my favorite is the Clutch (they name all of their burgers after heavy metal bands).

Dear AHT: Best Burger in Wisconsin at Kroll's West in Green Bay

I go to the Kroll's in Chicago and it is really good. They have 2 patty styles though, the thin patty and the thick. I usually order a double with the thin patties, which are fantastic, but I once got the thick patty by mistake and it wasn't very good. They also have great fries and I'm convinced anytime a burger is served wrapped in wax paper, it automatically tastes better. Also, you can't leave out the cheese curds.
