My ex and I went to the Bouchon at The Venetian in Vegas. We knew it would be pricey, but once we saw the menu, we deliberated and ended up splitting the cheapest steak dish and some French onion soup. Even just asking for water to drink (because of cheap-ass flyovers), the bill was almost $60. It was pretty damn decent, though. The steak seemed bigger than this picture shows. My only complaint was that it was served with fries (pommes frites!), when roasted potatoes seemed more appropriate. The woman at the table next to us ordered a leg of lamb, ate 1/4 of it, then left without even asking for a box. Jesus.
Ex and I just had a pretty nasty fight and avoided each other for hours before we went there. Got some insane make-up sex out of it though. Still hope she burns in hell. Thanks for reading.

In however many years I've been on /ck/ and seen fries vs chips threads, I've seen multiple bongs say that "french fries" are what you get at McDonald's, while "chips" are what Americans would call undercooked steak fries, most often pictured with deep fried chunks of white fish.

Most of actual Europe seems to call them frites, and apparently slathers them in mayo, which I have no problem with.

I've also spent time in Europe, where a McDonald's can be found in every village. Nobody ever said that they're the pinnacle of quality, but yeah, most people consider their crunchy outside and fluffy interior what fries are supposed to be.
