SALT LAKE CITY — "Can I get some fry sauce?" is the most common question in Utah when enjoying a burger and fries. Throughout the country, the same question is usually received with a funny or confused look by the restaurant employee.
The sauce is a must for Utahns, but what is their favorite place to buy French fries to dip it with? In honor of National French Fry Day, we'd like Utahns to vote for your favorite local place to eat French fries.
