A Big Surprise In Top Fast-Food French Fries Poll

CHICAGO – SEPTEMBER 30: French fries wait to be ordered at a fast-food restaurant September 30, 2002 in Chicago, Illinois. Scientists have made progress in understanding the chemical reaction that may cause fries, potato chips and other fried or starchy foods to build up high levels of acrylamide, a suspected carcinogen found in a host of everyday foods. The culprit is believed to be asparagines, a naturally occurring amino acid that can lead to the formation of the potential carcinogen when subjected to high temperatures. Swedish scientists in the spring announced that high levels of acrylamide can be found in many high-carbohydrate foods that are fried or baked at high temperature. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has made assessing acrylamide?s risk and determining how to lower its levels in food a priority. (Photo by Tim Boyle/Getty Images)

According to a poll by Seatingmaster.com, McDonald's fries didn't make the top 10. They say they made a list using this data. The researchers analyzed over 40,000 Yelp reviews mentioning fries across 21 major fast-food chains. In-N-Out Burger won with Shake Shack in second place.
In this study, KFC came in last place. Seatingmaster.com said, "In a surprising result, McDonald’s–the brand long synonymous with fast-food French fries–ranked second to last with a 1.91 rating from 1,381 reviews. Burger King followed closely behind with a 1.92 average from 623 reviews, reinforcing ongoing criticism of its fries despite repeated recipe overhauls."
