Garlic can be a tricky ingredient to work with. First, you\u2019ve got to peel off all the pieces of that weird, paper-thin husk that never wants to separate, and then you have to try not to lose all the incredibly tiny pieces you get when you mince it, then you have to decide how much of it will complement your dish without blowing out your taste buds. This is kind of a shame because garlic is supposedly very healthy \u2014 not just useful for keeping away vampires \u2014 and, of course, it\u2019s quite delicious. Now, with Wendy\u2019s Garlic Fries, I can let little Miss Wendy put on a chef\u2019s hat over her little red pigtails and handle all the garlic wrangling herself.<\/p>\n
Come to think of it, do you ever wish we knew more about Wendy? I would totally rock a comic strip all about Wendy and how she passes the time waiting for fries to finish cooking. Wendy\u2019s, if you\u2019re listening, I can put together a package of concept sketches at a moment\u2019s notice. I will accept payment in the form of chocolate Frosties. Not vanilla.<\/p>\n

ANYWAY, the fries come in one of those attractive little covered trays to keep the fries hot, which I appreciate; all fries are better hot, but that is especially true for these, because no one wants cold garlic. The taste begins with a note of parmesan -\u2014 not surprising considering that Wendy\u2019s lists three different cheeses in the recipe for the garlic sauce. Then the garlic takes over, and it\u2019s assertive. I kept thinking of garlic knots, but that association actually started working against my enjoyment of the fries.<\/p>\n
Garlic knots are usually soaked with oil — or at least that\u2019s how my local pizza joints prepare them. So the knots are, above all, moist; these fries were not. Even though the garlic seasoning (with some cheese seasoning included in the mix) was plentiful, I felt like I was missing the moisture of a garlic knot, or even of a slice of pizza, another food where I generally consume garlic as part of the experience.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Puzzled and sure I must be missing something, I tried the fries another day. This time, the fries were thoroughly enrobed in the sauce, and the whole thing worked the way it was meant to: with copious amounts of grease. I\u2019m glad that these are good, but it\u2019s obviously not such a great thing that I had to come back and order them again to get a version that was prepared properly.<\/p>\n
If anything, I would like a version of these that\u2019s even more greasy, sending these things into Garlic Knot Nirvana (Knotvana?). What would really be amazing would be if Five Guys came out with a version of garlic fries, because the chain\u2019s substantial fries are often already greasy with all the peanut oil they\u2019re fried in. Is it weird that I\u2019m complaining that a fast food item isn\u2019t greasy enough? I\u2019m not the only one who actually likes greasy fries, right?<\/p>\n
I asked my husband about this as he was enjoying his own order of garlic fries.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cYes, (munch) you are the only one (munch) who likes greasy fries. You are a freak.\u201d<\/p>\n
These new fries are winners. Just make sure you pick them up on the right day.<\/p>\n
