As a food editor, I’m no stranger to fast food fare. For instance, I’ve tasted nearly every chicken sandwich, chicken wrap, chicken nugget, fish sandwich, dessert and, perhaps most importantly, fry under the sun. While Five Guys took the crown on the spud front, I also had the pleasure of tasting KFC’s fries for that assignment. “They lean crunchy and well done and have a rustic flavor, sort of like potato wedges,” I wrote in my review. “Chalk it up to the ~secret~ blend of herbs and spices they’re seasoned with.”

Little did I know that KFC had, in fact, launched potato wedges in the mid ’90s, only to discontinue them in 2020. After much public outcry, the chain just brought back the iconic side dish—and I made a beeline to the closest location to taste them.
