What's the Crispest, Wake Up and Vote!

The options for diverse and delicious fried potatoes in Austin are endless! But let's not be basic—we all know curly fries, potato wedges, and waffle fries offer so much more flavor, texture, and excitement than their mediocre French cousin! Let's celebrate the best spuds Austin has to offer and uplift the restaurants doing the most to bring innovative, mouth-watering potato dishes to our tables.

Capitalist tweedle-dee journalists at the Austin-American Statesman want to know who has the best fries in town, and they need your**–yes, your**–input on this extremely pressing matter of social justice. Let your tastebuds be the judge and jury.

Do you like your fries**—a basic side dish exploited by the white male patriarchy and now culturally appropriated by the masses—thin and crispy, like the corpses of those who have suffered and died at the hands of systemic racism? Or do you like them seasoned and soft, much like the hearts of those who fight against the oppressive powers that be?

Let your voice be heard by taking this poll. Voting starts on June 17, because 2+1+7=10 and 1+0=1, symbolizing the singular and unified call to action that must be taken to address this fry crisis. The winner, aka the Austin fry entity that checks off the most boxes on the diversity and inclusion list, will be announced on June 21, aka 6/21, which is similar to 69, a sexually inclusive position.
