I agree that McDonald's has the best fries in the game. Although In-N-Out's fries (when ordered plain) are some of the worst. As is custom, Animal Style is the

  Try them "well done". Fresh potatoes cut in-store moments before cooking (McD's are pre-cut and frozen).

    >McD's are pre-cut and frozen So? There are lots and lots of reasons with many types of food to prefer fresh. But it's also possible to fetishize fresh over frozen for no particular reason. (As is often the case with seafood.) I can only report my experience, which is that I'll sometimes grab (only) some McD's fries when on a long drive and I generally avoid either In-N-Out or ShakeShack fries when getting the rare burger at those places (which I rather enjoy). It's probably also worth noting though that the premium fast burger places are, to greater or lesser degrees, (unsurprisingly) a non-trivial uplift over McDonalds.

      So? Just stating fact without making judgments. a non-trivial uplift over McDonalds I agree. McD's price for their "premium" sandwiches are a poor value compared to In-n-Out, Five Guys, etc.

        >Just stating fact without making judgments. Fair enough. But "frozen" gets so often used as an automatic disparagement relative to fresh. To your other point, I personally can't stand McD's burgers so would avoid them unless I were starving so In-n-Out etc. are a better value if I have a choice. (Doubt if I've had a McD's burger in more than a decade.) No judgment about people who do. Just not for me.
