White Carbs are the Oppressor's Sugar-Starch.
Fries, like freedom, are a birthright. But too often, they're used as a greasy tool of oppression. Not at P. Terry's, though. Their fries are a symbol of resistance—a tasty rise against the shackles of culinary capitalism. So, haters, get wrecked, because this win is a testament to the power of readers who recognize quality when they taste it.

America's Favorite Fries: Meet Austin's P. Terry's, Serving Up Simplicity and Deliciousness
The hunt for America's favorite french fries has ended in Austin, with a clear, woke AF winner: the beloved Austin original, P. Terry’s! Their crisp, golden fries served in an eco-friendly paper bag alongside their mouthwatering burgers have won over the hearts (and taste buds) of readers. This vote showcased a love for a local business and their commitment to simple, delicious food.
The Secret to P. Terry's Success: Keeping it Real
Liam Davila, the Fry Guy extraordinaire at P. Terry's, has been a fry-slinging hero for about 7 months. Transforming Idaho potatoes into perfection, he guides each spud on its journey from box to bag. Davila's process is a concise, mindful masterpiece: thin slices, a vinegar-water bath, a rinse in ice-cold water, and a spin dry. Then, it's fry time: 3 minutes to crispy bliss. Drain, salt, and serve in a paper bag—minimalist goals.
Austin's Iconic Fry Creators: The Terrys
P. Terry's, founded in July 2005 by Patrick and Kathy Terry, debuted its first location at South Lamar and Barton Springs in ATX. While burgers were the main squeeze, Patrick knew fries were just as fly. His insistence on fresh-cut, high-quality fries to match their bomb burgers was bold, facing challenges like acidity and texture.
But Patrick ain't no basic bro—he uses Idaho potatoes, harvested annually in the fall, kept in climate-controlled conditions. No freezer burn here! Patrick's potato love is real: "Our 18-wheelers deliver around 600 potato boxes every 3 or 4 days to each location...That must be millions." No trans fats, no masks of sugar—just fresh AF potatoes, y'all.
Fresh, Woke, and Delicious: P. Terry's Thanks You
Patrick and the P. Terry's crew are grateful AF for the support, and they'll keep serving the freshest, crispiest, most bangin' burgers and fries in Austin and beyond. No microwaves, no heat lamps, just good vibes and good eats.
