This particular journey, and this website, began with a simple question: where are the best french fries in Seattle? I honestly didn't think that I'd get more than five or ten answers. Instead, it was the question of the day on The Stranger's blog, the Slog, and at the writing of this post, it has 40 responses. Now, in Questionland, you're supposed to give a "mushroom" to the person with the "best" answer. Being a generally fair person, this is a very hard thing to do. I decided that I wouldn't do this until I found the best place to buy french fries. I started the reviewing process at the beginning of the month (with a mini-review on Twitter), with a longer review (from memory) to be posted on this blog.

Here's how I'm going to review the places: in my question, I have four criteria for the french fries themselves. I will also give a short review of the restaurant/bar/truck/etc. in general. At the end, there will be two ratings (out of 10): one for the french fries, and one for the location.

I hope that you enjoy reading this, and I certainly hope that I find some quality french fries in Seattle.
