Top tips

Ask about: cross-contamination

  • Order fries one size smaller than you think you need; even small portions can serve several people.
  • Good to know: Ask about fryer separation if avoiding shared cooking oil is important; the older HappyCow listing specifically advises checking whether veggie foods use a separate fryer.
