Review: Wienerschnitzel - Chili Cheese Fries

Wienerschitzel's Chili Cheese Fries feature their shoestring French fries topped with shredded cheese and their trademark chili. The price on an order is $2.19.

None of the Big Three burger chains (McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's) offers chili cheese fries (although Wendy already has chili on the menu, so it wouldn't be too hard for them to do so), so those looking for their chili cheese fries fix have to go foraging elsewhere like Wienerschnitzel or Carl's Jr.
In my experience, chili cheese fries tend to favor thicker-cut fries that tend to hold together better under warm or hot chili. Wienerschnitzel's fries are too thin to hold up well against their chili and aren't enough starch to balance out the saltiness from the chili and cheese.
I've already written about my disappointment with Wienerschnitzel's chili before, so there's nothing new there. At least the cheese was nice and melted and the fries that weren't covered in chili were fine. See the Hat for a much better rendition of chili cheese fries.
