I just eat the food as it comes to my hand. And then it magically ends up in my mouth. And then my stomach. Now it's all together and it didn't matter in what order I ate it.

When I'm eating at a restaurant, I eat the burger first and the fries next. If I get fast food and eat it at home, however, I eat the fries first and the burger second. Why I do this, I can't explain. I just do. ;P
Yum now I'm hungry.

Fast food or just burgers and french fries made at home, I always eat the burger first before eating the french fries. I've always done this, but I've just never known why haha

If I'm at McDonalds or Hungry Jacks (Burger King for those of you in America), I eat the burger first because the fries there are terrible and I'm really hoping the burger will fill me enough that I don't feel compelled to eat them.

If I'm at Red Rooster, KFC or Oporto, it's fries first because they're delicious and I know they won't fill me so much that I won't eat my delicious burger.

Well, this varies depending on the establishment, and the foods.

Any sit-down restaurant: Sides always come first, and then the actual meal. I hate reheated fries because they get rubbery and gross, and sides are usually too complicated to take home (mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, etc.) The actual meal usually is still okay after being reheated.

McDonald's: If I immediately start eating it when I get it, chicken nuggets first, because they require more ranch to eat. Fries come afterwards. If I get it after it's been sitting for a while, fries, because I refuse to reheat them because of the reason above.
Taco Bell: Never get sides, never have to worry.
Wendy's: Frosty before anything else. Mmm.
Skyline/Gold Star Chili: Fries, because cheese fries are umf.
Subway: Even if I get a side, sandwich first.

I eat the main dish first, and then the side items the second. However, in my case, the main dish is fried chicken along with french fries (It's weird for me to eat french fries without the chicken lol), and the side items burger.

If I'm hungry, I'll generally eat the fries first, and save the burger for after, since I prefer the main part of the meal for last. There is the odd time though when I'm not all that hungry, and I go straight for the burger, and just pick at the fries afterwards until I don't feel like any more.

If I have to choose, I always eat the main part first.

I can deal with my veggies cooling off, or cold fries, etc.. But cold meat? Not happenin'. I want my burger hot and greasy. Right off the grill, right now.

Although, if I can put a bit of everything on my fork and eat it all at once, I'm going to. It's all going to the same place.

If I get the typical burger and fries, the fries are at least half eaten first. The burger can always be reheated but fries are a particular sort that they gold VERY FAST and can NOT BE REHEATED. Reheating fast food fries is taboo and if you do it you're disgusting I don't want to know you go away but the burger can easily be reheated later. :) So if I'm full off fries, take the burger to go.

I generally try to alternate and eat a bit of my main food item, then a bit of my side, until I finish. If I start to get full, I try to focus more on my entrée, as I feel less guilty about having some fries left over than I do about not finishing the more expensive portion of my meal. This is even more true if we're talking about pricier meat or burgers from higher-end restaurants than, say, McDonald's (i.e., not just the simple fast food mentioned in this thread).

Am I the only one who eats bits of both as a mix? xD

I'll take out the packages and if I'm hungry enough, I'll eat whatever is open, which is usually the fries. I'll eat one or two fries and then open up "big mama" and eat her. Then eat some more fries and then take a bite of the burger, then more fries, and so on.

I eat a single fry, then down the burger extremely fast (I eat them fast for some reason). Then I eat all of my fries (speed depends on how good they taste). I'm weird like that, lol.

Wish you had the option of "taking a sip of the soda first" that's what I do, for food I go for the burger first.

It depends for me. If I have to wait until I get home to eat, I'll nibble on fries to satisfy my hunger. If not, then I usually just eat the burger first. Lately, I've been eating my burger first and skipping the fries. I have half gums/half teeth, so it's harder to eat the tougher ends on the fries. :/

As far as anything goes, it still depends for me. I tend to pick and choose what I like best and eat that, so I don't have a strict pattern on what I eat.
