The debate over who has the tastiest hot chips will probably never be resolved.
For me it's McDonald's fries followed by KFC, and when it comes to the local shops I truly reckon that Owhata Takeaways have the best in town.
And while our tastes may be different, the value we get is the same, and I'm sure we'll agree that $200 for a plate of fries is way too much.
A Manhattan restaurant has broken a Guinness World Record with exactly that; its latest menu item is a plate of French fries that costs $200.
Serendipity3 created the world's most expensive French fries to coincide with Tuesday's National French Fry Day.
The dish, named "Creme de la Creme Pommes Frites", features ingredients including Chipperbeck potatoes, Dom Perignon Champagne Ardenne Vinegar, cage-free goose fat from France, truffle salt, truffle oil and truffle butter, Crete Senesi Pecorino Tartufello cheese, truffles from Italy, organic grass-fed cream from jersey cows, and a topping of 23-karat edible gold dust.
It doesn't even sound very nice. I'll stick with my medium fries from Macca's thanks.

On the subject of food, that is a bit of a focus, with two events coming up in Rotorua that The Hits is excited to be supporting.
You might have heard about competitive barbecue cooking, or maybe even seen it on TV.
And there is another great charity event on the way, as Professionals McDowell Rotorua brings us the 2021 edition of the Annual Child Cancer Foundation Charity Breakfast and Art Auction.
This is the 27th year they have supported the Child Cancer Foundation, and it is always a great morning out, all before work.
It is on at Distinction Hotel on Friday, September 3, with breakfast at 6.30am and the charity auction to start at 7am.
All the details for both events are at thehits.co.nz.
Obviously these event dates could change depending on alert levels so keep an eye out for updates.
