National Julienne Fries Day
August 12, Tuesday

What Are Julienne Fries?
Julienne fries differ from traditional French fries due to their shape and size. The term "julienne" refers to a culinary knife cut in which food is sliced into thin, uniform strips. In the case of fries, this results in a crispier texture and a more delicate bite.
