Listening to this now. Impressive to sound this fresh. -
I like fries with tartar sauce. When I have fries that is... But my dad was a big meat & potatoes guy for damn near every meal and I grew to dislike potatoes in general. The years have softened me on that, but only some. Even now, Mom otoh was from Louisiana, so we'd catch a break once in a while and get rice. Give me rice over potatoes any day and any meal. But just not on a burger. Ever. -

Chips or cooked potatoes in a sandwich is very common worldwide! It is definitely not a Pittsburgh thing. Any sort of soft chip or fried or boiled potato is a natural with bread because it adds a fluffiness and texture that is different to what the bread itself is bringing. Putting chips (i.e. soft fries) is very common in Greece or in Spain or in the North of England (in the last of these sometimes just on their own, as a nursery snack, with ketchup, which is less exciting). Whilst it won't work with American style fries, try it next time you have roast or boiled potatoes and don't mind the extra carbs. You'll see that they really enliven an otherwise good sandwich. This conversation slightly reminds me of American friends' mystification at the idea of eating fries with mayonnaise, despite that being the condiment that fried were invented for, or with malt vinegar, despite it being so normal that it was the first crisp/chip flavour invented.

Actually Burger King stole it from Primanti Brothers. This is from the article you linked: Never mind that Pittsburgh's been putting fries between bread for decades now, this is the future of fast food: Take some things you already have in house, gussy them up a little into a sandwich, then sit back and watch the Internet sizzle over the news. [Grub Street] And this is from an AI search: The idea of putting fries on a sandwich is attributed to Joe Primanti, who, during the Great Depression, began serving sandwiches to truck drivers in Pittsburgh. The concept reportedly originated when a trucker brought a load of potatoes, leading to the addition of fried potatoes to the sandwiches, creating the now-famous Primanti sandwich Amen. Or pulled and placed on the side if served on the sandwich.
