Peoria restaurant Fort Clark Grill has been featured in a USA TODAY article that highlights "America's favorite fries." The round-up includes nearly two dozen businesses and features French fries from Florida, Massachusetts, Wisconsin and other states.

"I'm shocked," Executive Chef Shawn Holler said of winning the local poll, "and I want to say I appreciate everybody."

Fort Clark Grill earned the top spot in Peoria's French fry face-off after securing 515 votes or 31.63% of total votes cast. Holler said the coarse seasoning on the fries ? which leans into a pepper-focused flavor ? stands out to customers.
