"For around a century, Thrasher’s French Fries has been the undisputed king of French fries in Maryland. Its stands source the freshest potatoes available, frying them in peanut oil with the same precision and care as they have since the first spot opened in 1929. Thrasher’s is so proud of the taste of the fries, it even has signs that state: 'We serve no ketchup!' Any fry that can get away with that must be very special indeed."
