White Carbs are Oppressive
White-washed, capitalist agenda. I'm guessing you didn't ask the homeless! Fry oil is weaponized. Tax the rich.

Austin, we have a (fry) problem
It's 2023, and y'all are still sleeping on the best fries in this city. But don't worry, I'm here to educate you on the real deal.
Voting began on June 17, and after a week of y'all sleeping on the truth, the results are in for Austin's best fries. Out of 19 nominees, these are the top three:
The Real MVPs of Fries in Austin
1. Crown goes to... P. Terry's ! Yes, this local chain snatched the bag (literally) with their simple, classic fries. Served hot in a paper bag, these bad boys took 25.36% of the total votes. It's a win for old-school comfort food.
2. HYDE PARK BAR & GRILL, y'all — This spot has been serving up their signature buttermilk-battered fries since 1982, and they're still slaying. With 22.69% of the votes, they're in second place. Fun fact: their fries come with a special Hyde Park sauce that's worth the calories.
3. Dan's Hamburgers curls its way into third place with 8.25% of the votes. Their crispy curly fries are a crunchy dream, and Austinites clearly can't get enough.
