The fried food that Daym Drops can't live without
When asked to choose a top fried food "Fresh, Fried & Cripsy" host Daym Drops couldn't live without, he replied: "Ooh, top fried food ever — ouch. Oh my goodness. Look, that was a real good question. You hit me with the curve ball piece because, for a long time, it was fried chicken. Like no matter where I go, I'm going straight to fried chicken."
"But do I eat more french fries than fried chicken?" Drops continued. "Because here's my reality, McDonald's french fries aren't touched by anybody, right? Like we understand the shoestring fries at McDonald's, that's an evil necessity no matter if you're vegetarian, vegan, you know, if you just love food in general, if you have a fried craving, if you're just stepping into it for the first time, there's something about McDonald's fries, consistently, over the years, that you keep coming back to, and most individuals know you got to ask for no salt when you want them extra fresh. Put your own salt on them things. Put your own salt on them, but you have to have McDonald's fries."
"So I'm sitting, I'm thinking, 'Fried chicken or McDonald's,' and I might be at McDonald's fries, family. I might be there." So there you have it! Next time you need to chow down on the very best, can't-live-without-it fried food, make a beeline to the super accessible McDonald's and indulge in this ultimate crispy pleasure. If Daym Drops counts it as a must-have, it can't be wrong! And make sure to check out "Fresh, Fried & Crispy," out now on Netflix.
