I hope their franchising goes well and that they stay on top of maintaining the quality and "Je ne sais quoi" that makes it a "Mr Fries Man" experience.

Wishing this man and his family nothing but success.

So inspiring, like literally, bless u, your family, your friends and your business Mr. Fries Man.

“So basically everything that I like I just throw on top of fries” can’t get and explain it more simpler than that. I miss being a cook at the movie theater, we had real chefs and I was a backup and man when I was high on break and was in that kitchen I made fries with anything on it thought I could open up a shop like him lol.

I respect the fact he gives props and respect to family members helping him raise his kid. Most people take all the credit and don't acknowledge extended who played key roles in raising a child.

Nothing but pure motivation in this video! Salute my brother!
