It's true, in pittsburgh/ohio valley/wv, all the local diner places put french fries on their salads.0

I'm in Pittsburgh and I always tell them no fries, but before trying to lose weight - I loved ordering a "healthy option" knowing there were a ton of fries with melted cheese on top! That's OK - I am English and my American friends find beans on toast strange.0
-
I was Born in Ireland - French fry sandwiches are a standard! Here in Canada, people think I'm really strange when I make myself a "chip butty". And I love a french fry/ fish stick/baked bean sandwich!0

Oh yes this is completely true!! There is one restaurant that my friends always want to go to called Dunnings. I think every salad there comes served on top of fries

I've never heard of french fries on a salad. Then again, in Arizona I see people dipping french fries and pizza in Ranch dressing.
That's because this is delicious.
Around here everyone dips their fries in mayo which I think is gross.0 -
Especially tasty with strips of steak and some cheese added.0

French fries on salad???? I'm sorry, if "EVERYONE" was jumping off a roof, would you do it??? Please, people, do some critical thinking! Jeeze, GIVE ME A BREAK!0

Pittsburgh girl here....yup fries on everything. The Primanti Bros. sandwich is very popular here with the fries on it. I don't really see what is great about it. we even have our own language. "Picksburgh Stillers" "gumband" "jagoff" "red up" "chipped chopped ham" "nebby", etc0

french fries with anything doesn't seem strange to me. I love french fries and homemade tartar sauce.0

Being from Pittsburgh, yes french fries are on certain salads! I actually ordered a grilled chicken salad tonight for dinner and had to take the fries off!!0

people in nj dip pizza in ranch dressing too ~
I think people everywhere do this, especially if you've ever eaten in an institutional cafeteria . . . I would have starved in college if it weren't for hot sauce and ranch dressing.
Yeah, not just a NJ thing, I'm originally from Chicago and we sometimes dipped our pizza in ranch. I dipped a lot of things in ranch, french fries being one of them, still will occasionally.
I hadn't seen fries on a salad until I moved to Philly and saw them on the menu at Chickies and Petes, but they are know for their crab fries so I think they will put them on anything lol.
Yep dipping pizza in ranch is fairly common, I live in North Carolina.
I've never had a salad in Philly, but I did have a salad that had fries on it in Northern New York State.0 -

Wow it's not that serious. No one is saying they think a fries on a salad is healthy. Some people choose to splurge with pizza or cheeseburgers, some with fries on salad.0 -
They make salads without fries? :laugh:0

Oh you really don't want to know what they do with sandwiches........ (OK, they put fries on them too). It was a steel miners idea I believe he wanted to eat quick, or maybe play a card game or something while eating and he told the waitress to put all his food in bread - coleslaw and all...this is still done around Pittsburgh. People eat all kinds of things and they LOVE them - they taste good - and it's not evil to splurge).0 -
Amen! When I moved from AZ to Illinois, I'd ask for ranch and people just look at me like I'm crazy!0
