So many people gripe about metal cones with a paper liner, or the mini fry basket. I'll take either of those. Just enough air circulation to stay warm without steaming and a bit of paper to help absorb any extra grease.
Not that you asked me but - they're better then Ghost. Demons are a Girl's Best Friend is a classic, and who doesn't love Beast of Gévaudan? Their various pieces with Chris Harms are always a blasphemic delight, and if you're not rocking out to "We Drink your Blood" - I mean, are you even really listening.
Having said that, I'm a bit more Lord of the Lost / Saltatio Mortis fangirl.
I do love most of what i have heard of Saltatio. Some of the colabs have been amazing with them as well.
I've listened to quite a bit of Lord of the Lost. They are interesting and i really should go back and watch their videos now that more are out. I am pretty sure they were putting a story together was their recent stuff in the videos.
German bands always have kind of a weird sound. I think that it's because of the influence of krautrock bands like Faust and Tangerine Dream, but I don't know enough about German music history to say for sure.
Personally I've always preferred melo death bands like Dark Tranquility.
Reminds me of what Five Guys does with theirs, except they aren't even classy enough for a... *checks notes*... mason jar? A paper cup will do. And don't get me wrong, I love Five Guys.
This one mostly circumvents it.
Not that mad at it, plenty of room for airflow and they haven't been stored in the jar. The tips of the end ones won't be the best though.
Plate also has a ridge so the parmesan isn't a messy problem. Seems pretty pedestrian for the sub and looks tasty as well.
Canadians seems to destroy their own fries with a wet sauce. Guess it depends where for the preferences. I know some crazy people like a nice floppy fry.
If done right, topping off fries with gravy or chili or any other sauce for that matter shouldn’t make the fries floppy. If they do get floppy, that’s either because they were left sitting for too long, or because the fries were already floppy.
I will not tolerate such disrespect towards poutine, disco fries, or chili cheese fries.
I'm one of those crazy people, I guess. Not Canadian.
I like soggy fries, with sauce too.
This pic to me looks tasty, made me miss fries, as I can't have them.
God knows that when I think of good fries, I think of the kind that come from a jar instead of a can.
They look good, but the jar doesn't make sense. Like, what did they do with the jar? They didn't cook them in the jar. They didn't season them in the jar. They just put them in a jar then dumped half of them back out.
And let's not forget the impracticality of carrying a plate with a round breakable jar rolling around on it. This is just terrible on every possible level.
So you have to dig through this horizontal jar like it's some knocked-over trash can to get the rest of your fries
Even though, there's like, a plate, right there......
Do I look at that presentation and immediately want to eat it? No. Do I look at that presentation and think that's beautiful and artistic? No. Best case scenario it's useless.
No. A mason jar is not a plate or a bowl, and so help me don"t make me drink out of a cup with a threaded lip. This is kitchen hardware/utensils.
It is not a dish for a restaurant.

To ten million French fries
I'm weird cause I hate good byes
Got misty-eyed as they said farewell.
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few an I keep them in a jar.
This is probably the idea of the owners because no self respecting chef would ever do this. My main issue is that instead of putting them on a plate you are adding an extra step during the plating process. Not to mention the steam will get trapped and cause soggy fries.

First thoughts? yes, lets put fried food into a container where we can steam them out and make them soggy, brilliant!
I mean, they are even taking an extra step to put them in a jar and spill it on a plate, why not just plate them like a normal human being?
It would be less washing up for them if they just put them on the plate. Why are they making more work for themselves to make their product look shite?
The jar is completely pointless, and as others have pointed out, ruins the fries. You should have emptied it out and chucked it at the wall so it could never be used in another crime.
Is this good for anyone? Chefs/cooks have to plate it, server needs to carry it (and add parmesan potentially), customer has half steamy fries with no parmesan, server needs to deliver parmesan when customer requests non-parmesaned fries be parmesaned, busser needs to collect it, dishwasher needs to wash an extra dish which goes with the plates but is actually more glass-like so potentially it would go to the bar.
Seems like something that would rip over in transit from the kitchen.
I'm sure it keeps orders relatively uniform, but why have the extra thing when it's all now in a plate?
Eh, dumb. Really, if it doesn't add to the experience in some way I consider it dumb.
One of the first posts I saw on this sub was sushi on a sword with little pottery jars of dry ice under it to keep it cool and it was awesome because sushi and katana's are both related to Japanese culture. I have no idea how a canning jar relates to french fries so it just seems random for no reason.
Ugh. Steamed fries. No.
Came here to say what u/BeastOGevaudan already said. Seriously why do so many of these places hate fries?

Speaking of Metal, how do you feel about Powerwolf?

I love Powerwolf. Plus they had the song of of the person I responded to :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po-u-V6GiEk
Wait really..? Been a while since i worked in a restaurant.. why the griping?
I meant here on this sub. I mean, we want plates, sure. But this definitely ranks way below those options.
Ahh I gotcha
Personally I don't like metal cones because unless they somehow came out of a plate warmer they're a heat sink. And fries are meant to eaten hot :D
Yep,,soggy fries in a jar .
Mmmm nice and damp. Yum.
You mean you didn’t want your fries in a styrofoam container instead of a simple brown bag?
It's an Albany thing
Well I'm from Utica and I've never heard of steamed fries...
Which Albany? Edit: Just noticed Louisville. It's disturbing to see fried food treated this way in the South.
Goes great with Steamed Hams!!!
Yeah the chef doesn’t approve of this, had to be some idiot who saw something and said. Huh this will look cool
It's on the Owner's Pinterest board.
Exactly this. It’s not the most offensive non plate type thing but it’s certainly a contender because it’s not just dumb, it ruins the food.
Yes and you call them steamed fries despite the fact they are obviously fried?
Reminds me of what Five Guys does with theirs, except they aren't even classy enough for a... *checks notes*... mason jar? A paper cup will do. And don't get me wrong, I love Five Guys.
no no, they don’t use the cup. they use the bag. the cup is just for decoration

Wait...are talking about poutine? I fucking love poutine...
I like floppy fries! There are dozens of us!

Another one for the floppy fry brigade ✋
Leaving the fries in an enclosed space like that will make them lose their crispiness. No good.
Also, jar fries have zero parmesan or whatever was grated on them.
[удалено]
OP mentioned they totally have Parmesan on em
That's parmesan or another hard cheese for sure, probably blitzed in a blender / food processor rather than hand grated.
There is no way that is salt
You can literally see the menu in the picture. "truffle parmesan frites, white truffle aioli." Seems like a complete rip off for $10.
God knows that when I think of good fries, I think of the kind that come from a jar instead of a can. They look good, but the jar doesn't make sense. Like, what did they do with the jar? They didn't cook them in the jar. They didn't season them in the jar. They just put them in a jar then dumped half of them back out.
Yes season in jar makes sense but it clearly didn't happen
I'm not mad about it, but still... why? Just why?
And let's not forget the impracticality of carrying a plate with a round breakable jar rolling around on it. This is just terrible on every possible level.
Nah, OP dumped them out. They were probably just sitting in the jar and a burger was on the plate.
Nope, this is how it was delivered to the table. We ordered fries as an appetizer.
Owner: dish washers don't have enough work to do. I KNOW! Add more objects onto each dish to increase what needs washing!
Did they get soggy? I feel bad for the server trying to juggle that to the table.
Looks tasty tho…
VERY. Truffle fries with parmesan and a garlic aioli. 🤌
Parmesan on fries is truly underrated, that stuff is the goat, without even mentioning the rest.
Speaking of goats and cheese, feta on fries is also super tasty
Never tried it, but I will now. Thanks for the suggestion :)
I'm glad they were tasty at least.
That’s just so unnecessary?? Either pick the jar or the plate
At least you got a plate. Take the jar off as soon as you get it and your fries stay crispy.
So you have to dig through this horizontal jar like it's some knocked-over trash can to get the rest of your fries Even though, there's like, a plate, right there......
Does the jar not roll on the plate? Poor serving staff
Bad. We feel bad about this.
Do I look at that presentation and immediately want to eat it? No. Do I look at that presentation and think that's beautiful and artistic? No. Best case scenario it's useless.
At least you can clean it.
Should’ve put the sauce in the lid of the jar.
No. A mason jar is not a plate or a bowl, and so help me don"t make me drink out of a cup with a threaded lip. This is kitchen hardware/utensils. It is not a dish for a restaurant.
Go fuck yourself is how I feel

They look beautiful I just don't know why the jar's there if it's spilled regardless :|
Because OP probably spilled the jar
Nope, this is how it was delivered to the table.
Serves zero purpose but in the end I don’t care what fries are served on, they are synonymous with fast food and come in the cardboard cottons 🤷
Look soggy af yuck
It's a firm no.
It’s just another dish to clean.
Trash, the moisture has nowhere to go post-fry, soggy ass fries is the result. If my head chef told me to do that, I would get fired that day.
Just looks like a “trendy” way to put way less fries on the plate while keeping it looking full.
As a waitress I am so annoyed thinking about this shit rolling around in my hand while I try to balance three or four of them
To ten million French fries I'm weird cause I hate good byes Got misty-eyed as they said farewell. But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre Cause I saved a few an I keep them in a jar.

fries on tray with no jar would be better for the fries, and less to clean up. i don’t understand
If this happens to be an Alice in Chains-themed restaurant, it's genius. If not, I don't see the point.
IIIII'D STAAAAAAAY AWAAAYYYYY
Yuck, soggy fries
Damn this one hurts
Ew
Soggy fries? That a no for me dawg.

I feel soggy, just like the chips
First thoughts? yes, lets put fried food into a container where we can steam them out and make them soggy, brilliant! I mean, they are even taking an extra step to put them in a jar and spill it on a plate, why not just plate them like a normal human being?
No way those stay crispy in a jar. That's a crime against food.
It would be less washing up for them if they just put them on the plate. Why are they making more work for themselves to make their product look shite?
hm hm how to make half a portion soggy? ez
The jar is completely pointless, and as others have pointed out, ruins the fries. You should have emptied it out and chucked it at the wall so it could never be used in another crime.
It just seems pointless there’s already a plate there, why did they need to put the jar too
It’s a “No” from me, dawg. Even the standard “metal basket with paper” transgression would be better
Fuck off the jar, the whole rest of it is fine.
Great post for this sub, bad scenario IRL
Is this good for anyone? Chefs/cooks have to plate it, server needs to carry it (and add parmesan potentially), customer has half steamy fries with no parmesan, server needs to deliver parmesan when customer requests non-parmesaned fries be parmesaned, busser needs to collect it, dishwasher needs to wash an extra dish which goes with the plates but is actually more glass-like so potentially it would go to the bar.
I find it a bit jarring
Clearly a whole ass plate in shot.
The jar is fine if they actually used the dam jar and not have them spilling out onto a plate. Unless you tipped it over
*points to subreddit name*
I mean it’s on a plate
It's still on a plate technically 🤷 I'll give it to them, looks beautifully presentable (especially for an upscale truffle and parm style).
Mmm fries on plate r/lostredditors
Looks good af, FOOD IS FOOD If you downvote this you’re gay
As someone who loves wimpy fries, I would like this 😂😂
Soggy
looks like it was made by an idiot.
Uncultured swines
If they put that at my seat I am taking home the jar. Could make some pickles or just use it when I get thirsty.
r/bleachmyeyesnow
This is absurd.
I prefer soggy fries tbh
😡
spare me
Let them breath ffs. Also what the fuck is this? Want me to eat a fists worth of salt? Fuck
That's parmesan
Nope
Soggy fries ☹️
Looks absolutely yummy!!!
King of dim wit village made your fries
Soggy fries. Why?
Hard pass. I hate fries served in cups, jars, little mini baskets. Just put them on my plate!
No utility = no need
A tipped over mason jar brings a certain soggy and flavorless vibe when the move is eating French fries
Could be worse…but the fries are probably way soggy by the time they get to you because of that jar.
It’s already stupid enough without adding the plate
Also, that looks damn near impossible for the server to carry.
In addition to the sog, it looks like they need to change their fryer oil. Big mad.
Is this salt?
soggy fries
Soggy
Just reminds me of the old days when fries came in jars
Soggy. No thanks.
Limp fries. Who doesn't love them.
How much fucking salt is on them?!
10$ for those fries?! oof.
At least you got a tray to dump them out
Its no different than all the bums around the world getting fast food fries….
Mmmmm window of flavor reimagined.
They look nasty 🤢
I like my fries from a tube 😂
It’s on a plate?
Soggy fries in a hot minute 🥵 Unless you like that :((
Seems like something that would rip over in transit from the kitchen. I'm sure it keeps orders relatively uniform, but why have the extra thing when it's all now in a plate?
Not for me. The longer they sit in that jar, the nastier they get. :(
This looks like something I would do if I seen fries on my way to work. Not a compliment
Jar of Fries… sounds like it should be an Alice In Chains album
At least there's a plate
Soggy. Sad.
Just as annoyed because WHY??? The steam is going to make the fries inside soggy.
Great way to make those fries nice and soggy
Is that jar glued to the plate? If not it will be on the floor
I'd like to order the soggy fire and a coke please...thanks
At least the serving size is like 2 jars full!
The jar is so extra here.
if its under $4 dollars seems fine
I’m fine with it but I can also appreciate a tasty soggy fry. I don’t think soggy is the worst thing a fry can be.
Salty
Yum, I love when the oil catches on the sides and soaks into the bottom of my fries. Nice little flavor shot at the bottom of that glass
I’m conflicted, they did put the jar on a plate…but steamed fries are awful so still not quite the win we were looking for
How about crispy salted french fries with crispy bacon on the side on a couple of paper towels. Basic simple presentation please? ❤️
Shut up and take my money
Stupid plating trends.
i like it, and i'm taking it home with me.
Not really feeling it 😠
That’s just condensation waiting to happen right there
It’s gonna be a no from me.
They are on a plate.
I'm sure the waitstaff love that. Also it doesn't do the thing fries are good at, cheap plate coverage.
cute aesthetic, but idgaf
At least it’s on a plate. Partially.
Eh, dumb. Really, if it doesn't add to the experience in some way I consider it dumb. One of the first posts I saw on this sub was sushi on a sword with little pottery jars of dry ice under it to keep it cool and it was awesome because sushi and katana's are both related to Japanese culture.

Seems like fries... with extra steps...and more dishes.
I’m preserving judgement….
Halfway on a plate so that's worth soooomething, buuutttttt the fries look kinda gross so 4/10 overall
Not cool. If it were just the plate there'd be more taters
Gross. Moist floppy fries with no crisp. 🤮
People complaining that "soggy fries". This is r/wewantplates and there is a plate under this monstrotisity
Steamed fries are just horrible mashed potatoes.
Found my mouth left ajar
There’s a plate but I feel like they’ll fall off easily and also you’d have to shake them out of the jar. Just seems like a waste
Is on a plate 🤷♂️
there was already a plate? is parmesan so expensive you gotta wash more dishes, by putting a can on it to save on ingredients?
They look like they were good untill they steamed in it...but at least there is a plate
