McDonald's does have fryers dedicated to fries only.  I know because people
on gluten free diets, like my son, depend on it.

Also, Daphne's Greek restaurant, a chain, at least here in Southern
California, claims the gyro is dairy free....and something else too........
the fries or pita, or both, I can't remember for sure, but they have people
who can tell you this at their corporate office.  (My son used to just be
dairy free, but is now lots of stuff free, and can't get anything pretty
much anywhere except McD's fries.)
