MAINE RESTAURANT RESPONDS TO 'DISTURBING' COMMENTS FROM CUSTOMERS UPSET ABOUT FRENCH FRIES
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Journal had reported the Waterville restaurant faced threats of violence when it changed from crinkle-cut to straight-cut fries in June.
Parsons says the change was a financial decision because crinkle-cut fries required special blades that needed to be bought monthly. She says many people felt as new owners they were changing tradition at Bolley's, which had served crinkle-cut fries since it opened in 1962.
