Why America’s Favorite French Fries Are a Wake-Up Call for McDonald’s

McDonald's is disappointing plant-based diners by flavoring their fries with beef seasoning that contains milk. Fortunately, other fast-food chains are stepping up their game, with Del Taco taking the number one spot for best fast-food fries in USA Today's Reader's Choice Awards. Del Taco's crinkle-cut fries are particularly popular for their saltiness and crispiness, and the best part is that they are vegan-friendly.

Other fast-food chains with vegan-friendly fries include Farmer Boys, A&W, Shake Shack, Five Guys, Golden Chick, Chick-fil-A, and In-N-Out. For those looking for even more vegan options, Mr. Charlie's offers Frowny Fries that are described as tastier than McDonald's by some, with Reddit users praising their authenticity. Other vegan fast-food chains serving delicious fries include Slutty Vegan, Plant Power Fast Food, and Monty's Good Burger. Overall, there are plenty of options for plant-based diners looking for tasty and cruelty-free fast-food fries across the US.
