SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – If the world were perfect, we would be in the midst of college basketball’s March Madness right now, but we aren’t after the tournament was canceled for coronavirus prevention.
To fill your bracket needs, KSL Sports came up with the “Salty 16” as a way to determine the best fries in the state of Utah.
We only included local restaurants, so you won’t find the likes of McDonald’s or In-N-Out Burger on our list.
🍟 We want to introduce you to the #Salty16… a bracket to find the best local fries in #Utah. 🍟
In this Twitter thread, you'll find the polls for each round.
Here's how it works: (round 1 starts today) https://t.co/msMTcpzGqW
