INERTIA Would Rather Have a Siesta ortizkac@uni.edu others looked obviously soggy. A common observation among several of the fries we tried was that they lacked seasoning and flavor — but we’ll get to that in the individual reviews. Our ratings were based on a 5-star system.

The Northern Iowan’s first French Fry Competition came to a unanimous decision — Pump Haus took the crown for the best fries in town with a 4.5-star rating. In second place, McDonalds came with a 3-star rating. In third place, there was a tie between Pepperjax and Chickfil-a with a 2.5-star rating. In fourth place was Cane’s with a 1.5-star rating, and in dead last was Culver’s with a 1-star rating.

“It was decent,” said Diamond Roundtree, Campus Life Editor. The event closed off with the editors gathering around and eating the rest of the (now very cold) fries.
