I can see your Episode 4 notes for "Fast Food in Moderation Podcast" about your favorite fast food fries! That's quite a comprehensive list of 22 different chains to rank or discuss.
I notice you've got a great mix of options there, from the classics like Five Guys, McDonald's (I'm assuming that's what "Checkers" might be, or it could be the actual Checkers chain), and Wendy's, to chicken specialists like Chick-fil-A and Popeyes, and even some regional favorites like Steak and Shake and Raising Cane's.
Are you planning to:
- Rank these fries from best to worst?
- Do a bracket-style tournament?
- Discuss what makes each one unique?
- Rate them on specific criteria (crispiness, saltiness, dipping compatibility)?
Also, I'm curious about a few of the entries - is "APPLEBEES" making the list for a specific reason (maybe their seasoned fries)? And "Slim Chickens" at the end - are they a newer addition to your area?
Would you like help organizing this into a podcast outline or script?
