The Fry Secret Texas Roadhouse Tries To Hide
BY LUNA CHRISTINA LUPUS
Texas Roadhouse, one of the most popular steakhouse chains in America, is well-known for its claim that nearly everything it serves is made from scratch.
That's quite a big claim, but Texas Roadhouse proudly boasts that its steaks are hand-cut, the bread is baked every five minutes, and all the sides are freshly made.
Although each location reportedly has an in-house butcher and a baker, not all have a steak fries maker. A company rep told Eat This, Not That that the fries are purchased frozen.
In Tasting Table's ranking of 12 popular Texas Roadhouse menu items, steak fries were placed toward the bottom of the list, precisely because it was obvious they weren't fresh.
They were neither crispy nor hot, the two attributes we're all looking for. Other customers reported finding their fries still partially frozen or soggy, making it painfully obvious they weren't made from scratch.
