Fight of the Fries - Hooked vs. Lord of the Fries

We were sitting at Borsch, Vodka and Tears and while waiting for our blintzes and pierogi I noticed this little rivalry across the road.

So Hooked a fish n' chips store felt their hot chips were far superior to the Lord of the Fries. We took their little taunt to the challenge.

The top are the fries from Hooked and the bottom those from Lord of the Fries. The Hooked ones are a little bit wider than the Lord of the Fries but by looks alone there appeared to be relatively comparative. Taste wise I would say Hooked was better. The outside was crunchier but there was still a nice amount of soft squishy center. Also I think the oil used by Hooked was either better quality or was reused far less than the Lord of the Fries which gave their fires a slight rustic aftertaste. However, if you are more concerned with accompanying condiments than the fries, then Lord of the Fries would win simply by the sheer variation of dips they have available.

Since more emphasis is given to taste the overall winner is....Hooked
Texture: Hooked
