Charcoal Chooks on Quarry, Ryde

Cut size 🥔: standard thick cut
Colour: golden yellow
Seasoning composition🧂: chicken salt
Fry technique🔪: Single fry, oil not identifiable
Crisp factor: 8.5/10
Crunch factor: 7.5/10
Rating: 8/10
Comments 📈: it's rare that a product scores more than 7 on this page due to the belief that no fries are without flaw. However I did find this one impressive enough to score second place after campsie Charcoal Chicken.
Statistically im recognising a pattern
Hidden charcoal chicken shops=Good fries
Let me explain.
These fries were Single fried over a longer time, hence resulting in a drier and crispier exterior with an almost glass-like shatter. The inside however was creamy much like mash. Up to this point, the scoring is already quite high.
The Seasoning is chicken salt. I asked for extra because it's my go-to but the standard amount would've been more than sufficient. The fries looked a lot more flourecent because of the salt.
I think the salt was a chicken salt by either knorr or Maggie judging by flavour.
The dude who served me was what tipped the bias because he was such a cool dude and packed me some ketchup. Legendary move.
Incredible.
Impressive.
Awesome powers.
Overall I would definately recommend.

COLLEGE DROPOUT BRUNSWICK MELBOURNE

Cut size 🥔: thick cut
Colour: dark yellow hue
Seasoning composition🧂: blended chicken salt
Fry technique🔪: double fry vegetable oil
Crisp factor: 8/10
Crunch factor: 7/10
Rating: 7.5/10

Comments 📈/ shame that these reviews must keep objective and by the criteria for integrity, but despite the handicap of being delivered to a destination 25mins away from the store, the fries held its structure and qualities exceptionally well. It was actually quite impressive how well they stayed Crisp and dry on the surface...possibly perhaps the paper packaging contributed to this factor.
Is there such thing as an overcooked fry?
No, I disagree and would like to consider it just another stage within the maillard reaction and this was probably at the deepest acceptable end of the spectrum.
The chicken salt used was a good choice, a bit sweeter with less salt content and I could eat more without feeling bloated from salt.
I would recommend any fries and would definately purchase again if ever around tullamarine, hopefully at the store in person.

Campsie Charcoal Chicken

Cut size 🥔: thick cut steak fries
Colour: golden yellow
Seasoning composition🧂: house chicken salt
Fry technique🔪: double fry with blended oil
Crisp factor: 9.5/10
Crunch factor: 8.5/10
Rating: 9/10
Comments 📈: I'm biased. This place has been my number one and my priority since I was a little boy. This shop has a legacy of 30 years and I'm proud to have been there since day 1. Let me explain.
The fries here are double fried and I believe there is chicken fat blended into the oil for the secondary fry explaining the yellow hue of the fries and the unnaturally heightened sense of extreme umami. The shards are whats really impressive because they finish looking more like glass and the larger fries literally shatter. The inner consistency is quite creamy and perfectly cooked.
The fries are finished with a house blend of chicken salt and you can see from the photos just how perfect it is.
Genius.
Sensational.
Triumph.
Epic.

North strathfield pub

Cut size 🥔: thick cut
Colour: golden
Seasoning composition🧂: heavy pepper, chicken salt
Fry technique🔪: double fry
Crisp factor: 8/10
Crunch factor: 8/10
Rating: 8/10
Comment📈: WELL DONE. Strong impression and solid fries. Didn't expect to have such great fries on such a random night but I was seriously impressed. The fries retained the Crisp and Crunch even as it cooled and the salt...oh lordt the salt was so good.
I wish I could give it a higher score but gotta leave the subjective opinions on the side for this.
Must try.

The fries were not filled to the top and I seemed to have purchased more air than substance. Yes. That photo is how I recieved it
The fries were actually quite soggy despite being freshly fried 😂😂 both a million degrees and soggy at the same time.
