The future is a question mark of kerosene, electric sparks

I have decided that I have a new calling in life. I am going to become a french fry connoisseur. Do you think that the food network will give me my own show? I would call it One French Fry Short of a Happy Meal. How awesome would that be? In the spirit of this new life choice, I would like to put together a list of the best french fries I have had. These are in no particular order, and feel free to add to the list! Especially places that I have not tried.
MacCool's Pub: I think I could eat those tasty morsels of fried sweet potatoes for every meal.
Mazza: Another place that I am eternally indebted to McSomethingkins for introducing me to. I am pretty sure that they double fry their fries and they have really good dipping sauce.
Pinocchio's Village Haus: At this lovely place in Magic Kingdom, Disney World, Orlando they take normal fries and add liquid cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and ranch dressing. I of course would get mine without the healthy stuff. Ewwwwww.
Sconecutter: Their spicy fries and the smiley face fries are mighty tasty.
Red Robin: The best part about these fries is the seasoning salt that is on the table and the fact that they are bottomless:).
Smith's Deli: Yes the grocery store. And I guess that they are not really french fries, but potato wedges, but man alive those things are good. Just a tip though, don't buy a pound and eat them all in one night.
Astro Burger and Wendy's: These two places are both pretty good, but not good enough to each have their own entry. Astro burger has really good fry sauce. Wendy's fries are good when they are really fresh but really gross when they are not fresh. That is one thing about all fries however. Stale fries are super icky. At Wendy's I used to be able to buy a little side of liquid cheese and bacon bits and make pseudo-figaro fries. But, alas, no more.
Dees: Cheese fries with their ranch. Mmmmmmm.
Any little ma and pa diner: I don't think that they change the frying grease very often and that adds a little extra kick. And normally the potatoes are fresh and the fry sauce is super good.
The Cheesecake Factory: Their fries are crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.
Applebees: Their fries are ok, but they have this asiago cheese dipping sauce. It isn't made for the fries, but a sirloin sandwich. I order a side for my fries though.
Wow. I should probably stop eating all this really bad food.
