Not exactly news in the sense that we didn't know it was coming...but, the day of reckoning is finally here. Dick's is serving fries that have been cooked in trans fat-free oil.
We decided to take one for the team. We trucked it all the way to Dick's on Broadway for lunch today, just to see if the fries are any worse than the trans fat-cooked fries we had a few weeks ago. Granted, we just hopped back on the meatwagon a month or so ago, so our palate for fast food fries is not as sharp as some of our fellow contributors...but we're going to go out on a limb here and say that Dick's fries taste exactly the same as before. Good, greasy, and as though they're completely unhealthy.
Our thighs, however, seem to be shrinking by the second. So that's good. (If only!)

Around The -Ists This Week


...phew. I was worried when you brought this up a couple months back.
I've been eating Dick's fries since I was knee-high to a cup of onions, and I have to say, they do NOT taste the same. They are definitely different, but it's like the difference between "Classic" Coke and Old Coke--noticeable, but not particularly critical.
Do they still suck?
