French fries are always a good idea, and when the recipe has been used for almost a century, you know they’re bound to be life-changing. Anyone in Delaware knows there is one place to go if you’re craving the salty, hot deliciousness of a fry. Thrasher’s French Fries have been around since 1929, and they’re still much beloved to this day.
