O-mazing Onion Rings

Onion Rings how I love you. Well I suppose I could write a novel on how I feel about the Onion in general.

If you could be a vegetable which would you chose? Friends, I am the Onion. I love that the onions have layers, and that while they at times make you cry they are also worth the tears... I would like to believe that is true of me! Anyway, so in recent years the Onion Ring has replaced my general love of the previously coveted French Fry.

Best Places I have found the onion made into ring of fried goodness:

1) Sonic.
Just crumbly and delicious.

2) Red Robin.
I love them there. I will often go there just to get the onion rings instead of french fries with my burger.

3) Now, let me clarify before I continue: what makes this onion ring tasty is not the ring, or the manner in which it was breaded, its the dipping sauce. Burger King has the BEST zesty sauce for their rings, and therefore it is worth making it to this list.

4) Hulls Drive In Theatre Snack Bar.
Greasy. Beer Battered. Sticks to your hips, but you don't have a care in the world as you lick your fingers good.

I love the Onion Rings. I think they're amazing. Not every onion ring is made equal to that of those listed above. Appreciate the craft behind determining the perfect width of the ring, and the density of the batter in which coats it for the fried crunch.
