Daily Loaf

They are the small, oddly shaped fries, with one non-waffle side at Chick-Fil-A. Chances are, you may not even notice them, but there they are, lurking near the bottom.

It comes from the end of the potato when it’s sliced to be made into fries. It’s not a whole waffle fry, but more half waffle, half butt. Hence, Waffle Fry Butt.

You might be a Waffle Fry Butt fanatic, but personally I can’t stand them. They taste uncomfortable in your mouth, like you are eating a piece of fried skin. It’s smooth and a little darker than the rest of the fry.

My question – why does Chick-Fil-A keep the butts?

These can’t be good for business. If I get an order of fries, and there are 3-4 butts hiding underneath the good fries on top I feel like I have been cheated out of my full order.

We all know that the Waffle Fries from Chick-Fil-A are a miracle to the human race, but out of a large order I would guess there are only 5-7 large, crispy good fries among the bunch. You know the ones, covered in salt, a little floppy, popping out of the top. But hiding just below are the butts.

I’m not going to stop eating at Chick-Fil-A because of their butt problem. However, to make my experience better I recommend that Chick-Fil-A invests in a butt picker. Not much training would be necessary for this important member of the Chick-Fil-A team, but they would have to be observant and highly skilled to find ALL of the butts. I imagine that they could pick all of the fry butts out before they go in the fryer and throw them away!

Imagine your Waffle Fries at Chick-Fil-A completely butt free. What a beautiful world it would be.
