HOT TAKE
Flavored French fries are never superior to the taste of properly made salted fried potatoes. All the adornments are mere ritual, designed to disguise the fact that the perfect people-food exists, costs almost nothing, and requires little skill to prepare.

Bojangle’s (and, to a lesser degree, Cookout) Cajun fries are that exception in this case.
Otherwise, this holds true.
Poor non-Carolinian souls might not understand.
WRONG
Also, if I want vinegar with my fries, I order fish&chips.
Still too many steps for me though, so I'm sticking to chopping and then throwing them into oil, boiling them, or baking them with seasonings
The garlic goes in the Mayonnaise you make to dip the fries in.
Probably quite a bit tougher than the landlubbers from the heartland too.
They don’t need anything apart from salt but they do need skill.
In picking the best ingredients, following the right preparation and cooking methods. I have eaten many where a lack in skill had ruined the final product.

But I agree on the flavor part!
Worth it? Absolutely.

Nothing else.
But I'll agree that most flavored fries are inferior to just properly fried potatoes with salt.
