The aliens have arrived, donned human forms, and wish to feed.

[Ignatius]

Are you sure?

[FreddyKnuckles]

Yeah, I don't know dick

[Ignatius]

If dick thinks chewing and crisp edge parts are the no. 1 and no. 2 objectives, I can see where he's coming from.

[coldforge]

Steak fries obs thx

[Thermofusion]

Aliens observe in astonishment as human civilization disintegrates into Fry Wars precipitated by their arrival

I vote the rosemary truffle fries from one of my favorite Cambridge bars, but served with some sort of aioli (they serve them with ketchup, which makes no sense to me, but I eat them plain anyway, because they are so delicious they need no condiment). The look kind of like McDonald's fries if anything, but they are beyond amazing.

Not sure what else is on my list, but those probably should be, since that would cover fried goodness, truffles and garlic in one selection. Efficiency is key if we've only got a day.

truffle fries are the best. Must be thin, slight curl.

This list seems kind of relevant to the topic, although I'm sure we will all disagree with it, especially since a number of the items already mentioned didn't make the cut: http://www.cnngo.com/explorations/eat/worlds-50-most-delicious-foods-067535?page=0,0

I'm kind of surprised that bacon isn't on there. Actually, i'm also surprised it's not in more lists here. I mean, I get that it's overdone and all, but not to the aliens. Also, I think chocolate would have to be in my day somewhere, probably just a piece of the best dark chocolate.

I like that for #27 they have to mention the actual restaurant to get it at.

Note: they are right. You have to get it there.

Second note: do not, under any circumstances, forget the dill pickle. Also, order a cherry coke. Those are the rules.

[ellaguru]

Third note: bring aliens, they'd like it.

oh lord, that sounds great.

If Malcolm Gladwell says it’s a perfect food, then it’s a perfect food.

Huh.

Also, the hamburger is definitely not actually German in origin.

I know this will prove unpopular, but after feeding them all this stuff, I'd recommend some Jelly Bellies in a "we've got all this yummy stuff around *and* we've figured out how to synthesise its flavours" way. I'd also advocate for some barbequeued kangaroo ("grilled", for you North Americans), sweet potato fries, warrigal greens, lemon-myrtle icecream, and a bunch of other stuff I've forgotten...

[FreddyKnuckles]

Montanans also call it barbecue/barbecuing

You know, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that they're absolutely right about buttered popcorn.  It's so cheap and simple that it's easy to overlook, but my god I sure do love the stuff.
