Shouldn’t have, he was right. \u00a0No matter your favorite fast food or casual dining choice, it’s very likely you’ll find products with their names on them in the frozen food section of your grocery. \u00a0Who knew? \u00a0(Except that expert).<\/p>\n

I’ve written about White Castle<\/a> often, America’s oldest burger chain, they’ve had frozen burgers<\/a> in the store for a long while, maybe one of the first chains to embark down this road.<\/p>\n

Today I tried out their frozen crinkle cut fries, which is a new offering (at least to me). \u00a0I’ve taken to crinkle cuts lately, and it seems so have many fast food chains, someone somewhere thinks they are “retro” and since we all hunger for the past, they’ve popped up on a lot of menues. \u00a0Fine with me. I’ve had them at Zaxby’s<\/a>, Shake Shack<\/a>, \u00a0Culvers<\/a>, as well as that granddaddy of iconic Chicago hot dog stands, Superdawg<\/a>. \u00a0All excellent.<\/p>\n

I had pretty low expectations for the White Castle variety, most of the frozen fast food sides I have tried have been somewhat of a disappointment, hardly resembling the restaurant product.<\/p>\n

Delightfully, my expectations were exceeded, and these crinkles are crisp and tasty out of the oven. Instructions are to bake them at a higher temp than most frozen fries, and I suspect that’s one key to their success; \u00a0I caution you to keep an eye on them in the oven, because they can go from hot and crispy to rock like in a hurry.<\/p>\n

I think they are a fair representation of the restaurant product, perhaps a wee bit smaller, not sure. \u00a0I’ll remember to check next time I’m in a Castle. And yes, I’d buy these regularly.<\/p>\n
