Ahh, my very first entry.
b.good is an ethical fast food joint started by a couple of college guys who wanted to produce morally superior fast food. They are also too cool for capital letters, which is cool. I was too cool for capital letters once, and then I graduated from high school. Anyway, they have two kinds of fries: the regular kind, which this entry will cover, and sweet potato fries.
b.good fries have a nice Cajun-spice seasoning. Yet it's pretty subtle, and not at all spicy. The store proudly proclaims the hand-cutness of these fries, both on various placards throughout the joint and on the recycled, sustainably sourced paper bag in which the fries are packaged. The fries have the skin on and are of a medium thickness. These fries are also not fried, but rather oven-baked. Nevertheless they are nicely crispy (more on this later). Finally, they are lightly salted, just enough that you don't have to perform constant depth charges into a ketchup container. In fact, you can even do without (Note to self: next time don't get so much ketchup).
And now for my favorite part, the crisp factor. Some of the bigger fries are soft in middle, but crispy on the ends. There is an overall crunchy exterior with soft creamy interior. These aren't dessicated fries by any means. Some of the smaller end pieces that are a bit more blackened have a loud enough crunch that borders on distracting to your coworkers. I know because my boss made a comment.
The one downside of these fries is that they like to stick together in blobs sometimes and you need to constantly be prying them apart, getting your fingertips all greasy (yes, oven fries can be greasy). Makes it rather un-ideal for one-handed noshing at the computer. Another thing is that they tasted a bit carbonized from being fried slightly too long. A few pieces were blackened on some ends and tasted... smoky. But some may like this. (Cough.)
Overall not bad, but not good enough to top out Spike's Poodle Fries as my default workday perk-up nosh.
Cost: $2.19 for a medium-sized bag
