National French Fry Day is celebrated on the second Friday in July, with fast food chains like McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's offering free fries or deals.

Burger King is offering free fries to Royal Perks members, while Checkers & Rally's is giving away free extra large orders of fries. Del Taco has deals through its loyalty program, Fatburger is offering free fries with any purchase, and Heinz and UberEats are giving customers $5.70 off orders that include fries. McDonald's is giving away free fries on Thursday, and Wendy's is offering free fries and a free Frosty with purchases made through their app.

McDonald's USA has long acknowledged that the fast food chain makes its fries with beef flavoring. However, McDonald's Canada, McDonald's U.K., and McDonald's Australia don't cook their World Famous Fries with beef flavoring, so there's ordering potential for vegetarian customers who wish to consume McDonald's fries.
