Cavendish

“One does not come to Sunset Park for the fries. One comes for the fries at Cavendish. The distinction matters. The shoestring fry is aspirational without, and present as a rumor within. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The portion is restrained. The distinction, once understood, becomes permanent. Best ordered without accompaniment. The fry requires no defense counsel.”

“The fry at Cavendish does not call attention to itself. It does not need to. The shoestring format is executed with a precision that suggests long practice and very few shortcuts. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is present as a rumor. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision. The experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”
