But, more importantly, it’s lunch time, and the topic of fast food usually comes up around Stately Spoilers Mansion – especially when it comes to those delicious crispy potatoes we call Freedom Fries (not really). A few months ago, Wendy’s changed the way they serve up their carbohydrate, chemical coated, deep fried potatoes. VOTE!
