US: KFC is Replacing Iconic Potato Wedges with Fries

KFC announced it was cutting potato wedges from its US menu, replacing the iconic side with fries. The QSR chain confirmed to Business Insider that it is rolling out a “Secret Recipe Fries” across the US, to replace wedges. KFC tested fries last year, and people have been noticing the new menu item rolling out at their local restaurants in recent weeks.
The move is infuriating some customers who are fans of the wedges. Dozens of people have tweeted about the change, calling for KFC to bring back the wedges.
“While we know there are wedge-lovers out there who may be disappointed, consumer response to our “Secret Recipe Fries” during the test and the rollout has been overwhelmingly positive,” said a representative for KFC.
