Everywhere You Can Get Free & Cheap Fries for National French Fries Day

French fries are to the take-out order what Tyler Johnson is to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Maybe they cost too much on their own. They aren't a centerpiece of the meal. But they're an important piece of that winning meal. (Am I just missing hockey too much already?)

Unlike hockey right now, you can find french fries. In fact, July 13 is a day when they're exceedingly easy to track down. It's National French Fry Day, and you're going to find free and low-cost fries pretty easily. Restaurants like McDonald's Smashburger, Jack in the Box, and a whole lot more are slinging fries on the cheap to celebrate the spud-based holiday.
