90,000 portions of chips
Franky's wife is from Kyiv. "so the war has an even bigger impact on me, I was deeply affected by the images of citizens fleeing to Poland. My first thought was: I'm going to do something." When he shared his plans with good friend Coen, the latter didn't hesitate for a second. Together, they left for the border with 4000 euros worth of savings in fries and snacks. "We fried up to as many as 2000 portions of chips every day. We've now been back six times, totalling 90,000 portions and the same again in snacks!"

Personal stories
People sometimes wait for hours in queues of more than a hundred metres for a portions of chips and to tell their personal stories. The fry cooks are especially touched by their conversations with children. The children are allowed to scoop fries and pump sauce: the resulting smile is worth more than gold.
