  • Thrasher's French Fries have been an Ocean City tradition for more than 90 years. They specialize in one item, and once item only.

    No one in Britain uses apple cider vinegar, we use malt vinegar, at home. The chip shops use 'none brewed condiment' which people think is vinegar, but its not.

      @@Amocoru tell that to a brit family who goes over, buys 3 buckets for the family, expecting brit like chips (fries as you call them) and then they proceed to eat them and they are disgusted by the flavour? that's $30 down the shitter. Or they might love them. But from my experience, apple cider vinegar is not used as a condiment here, cheers.

    Nope,can honestly say I've never met anyone who puts Apple cider vvinegear on their chips/fries.
    Malt vinegar is commonly used.
    However,Apple cider sounds better,I must try asap.

      @@jokerproduction "fresh cut" fries actually kinda suck if you have had REAL fries that have been soaked to remove the starch. the outside burns from the starch before the centers even get fully cooked.
      fries need to be cooked at least twice, not once. they need to be parcooked first at low temp to actually cook the potato first, then fully cooled (ideally frozen but not necessary) and then fried again at high temp to crisp the outside.
      five guys has the absolute worst fries of anyone. trashers is better because they dont let their friends burn in the oil (but can be hit or miss still) like five guys but there is still a lot of room for improvement.
      cutting a potato and immediately dumping it in oil isnt the way to make fries.
