      I hope their franchising goes well and that they stay on top of maintaining the quality and "Je ne sais quoi" that makes it a "Mr Fries Man" experience.

    What a great guy. He came up with an original idea, marketed it, had his wife backing him on his purpose, and used this to elevate family and friends.

They have a 'carnival' themed one which is a poutine with a pogo stuck and cotton candy, caramel corn, they have perogies fries, so much more. Yeah, tons of places do 'protien on fries'. Oh we also have TONS of shawarma places that do chicken or beef on fries with tons of sauces.

    Love how everything with this dude is Fries themed. "Love my wife...She's fry-tastic," or "He (God) had another plan for me. He made me Lord of the Fries..." Hahahaha! Much respect to this man especially for helping out his family and community with the business. I'll be sure to check this place out next time I'm around that way
