LETTER TO THE EDITOR: The best waffle fries in Paducah won't be found where you think
There is no question in my mind. If I were to ask you about waffle fries, many of you would instantly think of Chick-fil-A — and this is exactly what they want you to think. While Chick-fil-A may have perfected the chicken sandwich, in the realm of fries, they are missing the mark and are completely outclassed by an unlikely local restaurant. If Chick-fil-A's stances on important social issues weren’t enough to keep you from eating there, the elation you'll experience from the waffle fries expertly crafted by Just Hamburgers in Paducah will pull you away for good. Just Hamburgers makes the best waffle fries in town — and it's not even close.
