Atm, I live in NorCal, and the diner down the street from my house serves fries with gravy and cheese, plus a bunch of other kinds of fries, like chili cheese fries, garlic fries, loaded fries (fries with cheese, bacon, sour cream, and scallions), poutine, and of course plain fries and just cheese fries.
