When did America decide to ruin french fries?

Seems like 80% of places these days have these abominations called “crispy fries” or “double-fried” french fries. Does anyone really like this better than traditional fries? At first it was fine, a few kitchen managers trying to be different with their fries but now they’re everywhere - you’re not doing anything different and fries suck now.

Seems like an answer to a problem that didn’t exist. And now it’s as if New Coke prevailed and it’s the only thing you can get anymore.

I declare shenanigans.
