I like my fries with just salt, maybe a pinch of onion or garlic
powder. One exception to that was fries with sauteed garlic--and lots
of it--that we'd get at U of Hawaii games in the Stan Sherriff Center.

I like malt vinegar on my fries. The other day we had gone to
Five-Guys and bought burgers and fries. They had the little packets of McCormick's Malt Vinegar -- but it tasted as if it had been cut more
than 50% with water. Even the ketchup had more vinegar flavor.

McCormick knows bupkes about malt vinegar. Heinz, now, that's the good stuff. I keep a bottle in my cupboard. It's (or was) the same stuff
Long John Sliver's puts on the tables at their grabbit-and-growl
joints.
I seldom put catsup on my fries. If I'm going beyond salt and vinegar
I use tartar sauce or mayonnaise .... and that darned seldom.

I do not recall exactly, but perhaps the malt vinegar I get at Red
Robin is Heinz. If so, then I certainly agree with your accessment of both brands.

My choices in order are:
salt and a good malt vinegar,
salt and catsup,
salt and tartar sauce (but only if someone is having fish), or
salt.

I"ve tried it, like it but it's hard to find most places.
We tried 5 Guys once, and were quite disappointed

It's completely common in Canada thanks to our British heritage. You

I haven't had the opportunity yet but they are very highly regarded
by most US burger enthusiasts. You must have hit a bad one or a good
one on a bad day. Perhaps you should give them one more chance.

It's fairly common here - but you have to look for it. It's going to be with the cider and wine vinegars. Not with the white vinegars which
take most of the shelf space.
And there is an outlet in the local maul. I tried them locally and was
not impressed enough to return. There are many other, better venues.

I am not a fan of it but my second wife was (is). All of the
supermarkets around here carry it; usually the Heinz brand.

Our local Dairy Queen (singular) makes some great burgers. They source their meat locally so it's always fresh. I'm also a fan of Freddy's steakburgers. I confess to liking our local Burger King (singular)
also but I am biased since I used to work there and know how to order
the burgers to get them fresh off the broiler.
But my favorite burgers are the ones I grill myself which I cannot do, sadly, in my apartment due to insurance regulations lest I purchase an electric grill.

They are nothing special - except for their gimmicky *huge* order of Fries. I first met them at Dulles Airport (Washington DC) when I was flying in for an echo picnic at Dale Shipp's.

Freddy's make their burgers on the Steak 'n' Shake model. But S&S does
it better. Mayhap your local Freddy's franchise is better done than
my locals. I wasn't impressed any of the three times I visited. I know
that Dairy Queen does sammiches and fries - but my mind still
associates them with soft-serve I scream.
I've had one and liked to very well. Loaned it to a friend and it
never came home. I may get another .... or I may not.

we had a 5 guys in Oshawa. I noticed the other day they closed. We
went twice I think (to give them a second chance) like you say nothing special and not worth the price. Plus too lazy to peel the potato for fries.

TBH, the local DQ does the best burgers IMNSHO and their prices give
more value for the money than other fast-food places around here. The local Freddy's is always busy which I hope means they're good food
(they are one of the more expensive places around here but Arby's is
the most expensive). I do love DQ's ice cream too but that is an extremely rare treat for me (I haven't been to the DQ in 2+ years now).
I've had one and liked to very well. Loaned it to a friend and it

I do like that and right now, it's only $65. If I had the money, I'd
get it!

agressive francising of their brand. I think that has hurt their
quality and price. A double bacon hamburger from them is now more than $11, and IMHO not worth that much.
special and not worth the price. Plus too lazy to peel the potato for fries.
But ... the peel of a potato adds flavor and nutrition. I like them unpeeled.

The gold standard used to was McDonald's fries. But they've been
matched or eclipsed by a number of competitors.

I also had a smaller version that was round and had an electric coil
in the bottom. I believe I bought it at Odd Lots for less than U$10.
It was great for a single burger or a brace of hot dawgs. Then I got
my first George and it went to the ReStore

McDonalds released waffle fries here last month. We tried them once, wouldn't get them again. Dry and not crispy at the same time.

I think that ReStore is one of the better donation sites. I wonder
what rating others would give to it and to other sites?
I think that both Goodwill is decent, but not 100% non-profit.
Salvation Army sounds to me as if it has decent goals.
In Maryland, there are other thrift stores which are totally for profit stores. One physical location used to be AmVets -- but they seem to
have pulled out of Maryland. I do still get requests for donation to AmVets from time to time, but they usually hang up on me when I ask
where the AmVets store is.
Of course there are numerous local charities that do operate an
honorable operation. I am naming above those that I know of that have more than a local footprint.
