An epic piece of fast food is now a Waynesville woman's conversation piece. She's beaming with pride over what could be a record find. It's fry-tastic!

Kim Medford of Waynesville got precisely what she wanted, and more.

Ordered a large fry from arby's and that's exactly what I got is one large fry.

A curly fry she's measured to be 38 inches long, which she believes is a world curly fry record. Yep.

I said great day! recalls Medford. Course I kept pulling it out.

Before this, the World Record Academy claimed two buffalo men held the record with a 34 inch fry. At the time, that shattered the previous Guiness mark of 24 inches.

Medford thinks her strand of extra starch is something special.

An anomaly like that, I think it's a miracle by the time it's cut!By John Le
