When is SFGAdv going to open the drop ride and Kingda Ka?

If I am going to put something on them, it's going to be heavy - like chilli and cheese.

I love love love thick cut french fries slathered with chili and cheese sauce. As a rule, I only allow myself to enjoy this when I visit Cedar Point. (The whole chili cheese french fry + sitting on the Midway under the Sky Ride experience is something I treasure.)

Now, that said, I did break that rule a few years ago after stumbling on a Chicago drive-thru that took its french fries slathered with chili and cheese sauce and served it in one of those edible taco salad bowls. Heart attack on a plate -- and heaven on a plate....

Fries in gravy. *mic drop*

I don't use much mayo (or ketchup, for that matter) But when I do, only...and I mean ONLY...Hellmanns.

And I eat my hot dogs PLAIN.

I use catsup occasionally on mcdonalds fries. But I prefer mayo.

Dukes is great, we have it here. Miracle Whip (salad dressing) is horrid stuff.

There's only one Scottish word that can conjure up my feelings on this. That word is...

Boak.

Hey, at least that mayo is made with real olive oil...

Is that a Banshee shirt she's wearing?

Now, that's my kind of gal!

I saw a woman in the kitchen in a Microsoft office building putting the sugar for the coffee in her Coke.

Now, to be fair, maybe it was Diet Coke.

I knew a guy who would spread soft butter on his Girl Scout cookie Trefoils, roll em in sugar, and eat em.

I'm fascinated by her bag. What other interesting bus-riding treats are in it?

Wait- was she the model for Laffing Sal?

Sal dresses better.

My mom sometimes put Splenda in her Diet Coke. Not sure if she still does since my wife and I made fun of her when we saw her doing it. Sorry Mom.

I'm finding the closure of Zumanjaro to be extremely unfortunate right about now. It's the perfect storm of Intamin, Six Flags, and New Jersey politics. The good news is that Kingda Ka is open.

Does anyone know for sure why the new ride is closed?

Inspired by this thread, I tried gravy on my fries the other day. It was delicious, and I might have to do that more often. Just thought I'd let you know that you folks are indeed making a difference.

I'm going to try and add another layer of depth to my fries with gravy. I'm going to add these curds, and put the whole thing over a bed of buttery, round crackers.

I'm going to call it.... wait for it..

Poutine on the Ritz.

That sounds awesome, Josh. Have me over when you make it. I love buttery crackers with anything on em.

Some people eat to live, C'Buzzers live to eat.

But seriously, I'm of the mind that a potato is a potato is a potato, and all it really does is make a nice base for additional goodness. Those who never dreamed of putting gravy on French fries have probably put gravy on their mashed potatoes all their lives. It's also common (round these parts, anyway) to put a little country or sausage gravy on home fries and hash browns.

When I make my famous homemade cheesy potatoes, I use cheese soup, sour cream, and as a secret ingredient, a big slap of real mayo in the sauce. Those who claim to hate mayonnaise never have trouble with the tangy goodness of my potatoes. And those who think dipping French fries in mayo is strange, probably (unless they have a real aversion to mayo and wont ever go near a drop) (Travis) go ahead and eat grandma's potato salad which I'm sure includes lots of mayo or Miracle Whip.

I had a friend who was looked upon as weird for dipping her fries in sour cream. Weird unless you're eating a baked potato or fried potato skins, right? So there ya go.

Btw, one time I was standing at the side of the Potato Patch and the door was open and I watched them make the gravy. They were taking great care to open those cans of Heinz beef gravy to dump in steam table warming pans. Yummy! Really adds "local" flavor!

Shhh! We don't grow the potatoes either.
