Loaded fries are supposed to be simple: fries, toppings, sauce, happiness. Apparently, that was too easy, so we decided to spend $6, $19, and $30 on three completely different versions and find out where the money actually goes. Spoiler: one of these meals was an absolute crime scene.
Round 1: The $6 Del Taco Fries
For $6, we got loaded fries from Del Taco.
And brother… loaded? This looked like punishment food. The fries looked tired, the toppings looked confused, and after one bite the verdict was brutal: these tasted like loaded shit. Six dollars saved, dignity questionable.
Round 2: The $19 Munchie Box
Then we jumped to $19, and suddenly somebody understood the assignment.
The box literally wouldn’t close. There was enough food in here to establish a small food supply chain, with chicken teriyaki, beef, fries, and enough protein to keep you alive for the next three business days.
And the crazy part? It was actually good. The teriyaki chicken and beef were so good they had Panda Express catching strays. This wasn’t loaded fries anymore. This was an entire event.
Round 3: The $30 Seafood Fries
Finally: $30 seafood fries.
I don’t even know what we’re looking at here. This isn’t loaded fries. This is somebody opening the refrigerator, finding everything they own, and saying, “Yeah, put it on the fries.”
Then came the bite.
Salty. Confusing. Unnecessary.
Thirty dollars later and we’re sitting here wondering why seafood was invited to a French fry party in the first place.
And the Winner Is…
The $30 fries brought the seafood, the $6 fries brought the disappointment, but the $19 loaded fries brought the victory.
That box was enormous, packed with toppings, actually tasted good, and could probably feed you until Thursday.
$6: Please do better.
$30: Please explain yourself.
$19: Now THAT’S loaded fries.
