    Neither have I. Seems like a strange thing to call them, since *ALL*
    fast food places make the fries on the premises. <BOGGLE>

    They all fry them on premises, but they usually come frozen and pre-cut.
    I wonder if the chain in question actually cuts their own taters on
    premises.

    I have heard the term housefries before, but never thought about what it
    meant.

    Yep, I'm pretty sure now that that is what the OP meant by the term.

    Same here. :-)

    I think at some places it also means they may have more seasoning on them
    than just salt. There is a BBQ place I like that I *think* calls their
    fries "housefries" -- they are seasoned and pretty good.

    Are you talking about just the meat patty part? Cause, no. The meat patty at fast food place can/will never be as good as one you grill at home. The sauce and other things is another story. The lettuce and tomatoes and onions you ge at the store might be 'too' fresh ;).

    I would generally agree, although it might depend on how good you are at grilling them, i.e. if you are not good at it, Burger King could be better than yours. ;)

    the world. They, like all of us, are in bed with Big Spud.

    I have used a pet-name or two over the years, but are you sure that your
    wife or s/o likes that name??? :D
