    Chip Stands

    Do you like chip stands? Do you have a lot of them where you live? I've noticed since moving that there aren't any unless there's some kind of event going on but where I'm from they're everywhere. Especially in Gatineau, my gosh they're everywhere. They shut down for the winter months and open the rest of the year.

    I love chip stands. Especially since most of the ones I've been to make excellent poutine.

    Are we talking chips or fries? Don't Canadians call them fries?

    I've never been to a place that sells fries exclusively.

    Yeah we call the fries.

    A chip stand doesn't exclusively sell fries. It sells hot dogs, pogos (corn dogs), fries, hamburgers, just food like that. Like... Five Guys foods. But it's a truck/trailer looking thing or a small building that has no indoor area and you eat outside.

    We get these at events, conventions, festivals and whatnot, but they aren't something that just exist all the time.

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    Why would you call them chip stands if you don't call them chips? What the hell.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    Probably before you sold out and went American.

    Ah, burger vans and stuff. I go to them if they are the only food around. Otherwise I'd prefer to have something less questionable.

    We have burger vans everywhere in my part of Wales. They usually park up outside of factories etc and make good money. They also park near but not too near to schools, to harvest kids. Naturally I visited them in school. I should've been a lot fatter.

    They are great but the food is often terrible. It's a secret shame kind of deal for me. I once had a hot dog from a van man who also owned a butchers. It was more expensive, but it was incredible. I wish I could find it again.

    I've never actually bought anything at these stands before. I probably wouldn't want to risk the bowel problems.

    I know she put up a picture of a food truck, but she doesn't count those because I mentioned how food trucks have really taken off here in the past 10 years.

    She's looking for a little place that only has outside seating, and sells things you basically cook with a fryer or a flat top grill. Something like a Checkers, but with out the drive-thru.

    I count food trucks, its just the chip stand food trucks I'm used to don't move around. They just stay where they are. And it really isn't like a checkers :/

    To be more specific, they're much much smaller

    Okay, I know what you mean now. Nah, I don't make a habit of going to them. If I did, I'd probably get a funnel cake or something else deep-fried.
