The virtue of simplicity is that its flaws are not so easily concealed; it is hard to do simple things perfectly, and it is always visible when they’ve been done badly.
I’m not sure how accurate a metric that would be. Burger King has changed their fries a dozen or more times over the years, but I’m pretty sure one of their worst fry recipes was back in the nineties when the rest of their food was still pretty decent.
Yeah, fries are made very differently from most other foods. Some places might focus on them while other places might add them as an afterthought because people want more than the burgers they put most of their effort into.
Also, the better a place’s sushi is, the lower the chance they even serve fries.
First time I went to Chili’s, I got chicken strips. They were the driest chicken strips I’ve ever had, followed closely by Cheddar’s. I haven’t been back to either.
This is how I evaluate a new fast food place. I order regular fries.
If you can’t get that right, I’m never coming back.

I believe a lot of Japanese cuisine uses this premise.

I tend to order a Ruben at any new place for the same reason.
It’s a simple sandwich, but so easy to fuck up.
What’s weird is one of the places that gets it right is Arby’s. I wasn’t expecting a decent Reuben from a fast food joint.
