I have not had it since the 90's, but I do feel hungry after I eat the occasional culvers.
Recently in Vegas this past summer we got Farmer Boy's. That place still delivers good fast food like I remembered in the early 2000's, relatively fresh and not dripping in grease, not to mention the size of the menu there is insane.

IO fries are cut fresh in store and fried in sunflower oil I think? DK why the same process in my house produces better results...

McDonald’s used to have the best fries hands down!! What killed them was the health craze and McDonald’s quit using lard. It may be a four letter word, but lard is what made a lot of things really good!!
After a few years BK tried to replicate McDonald’s old fries by coating their fries to make them crispy. As was said, it was a poor substitution.
We may not want the fat these days, but so far no one has duplicated what a good dose of lard could offer.
