    Neither have I. Seems like a strange thing to call them, since *ALL*
    fast food places make the fries on the premises. <BOGGLE>

    They all fry them on premises, but they usually come frozen and pre-cut.
    I wonder if the chain in question actually cuts their own taters on
    premises.

    I have heard the term housefries before, but never thought about what it
    meant.

    Yep, I'm pretty sure now that that is what the OP meant by the term.

    Same here. :-)

    I think at some places it also means they may have more seasoning on them
    than just salt. There is a BBQ place I like that I *think* calls their
    fries "housefries" -- they are seasoned and pretty good.
