Catherine Bernard's Room

“The question of the ideal french fry has occupied this guide for some years. At Catherine Bernard's Room, one arrives closer to an answer. The curly fry, triple-fried in canola, presents crispness that is aspirational and a potato interior that is present as a rumor. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. Proximity to an answer is, in this case, sufficient. Best ordered without accompaniment. The fry requires no defense counsel.”

“The crispness of the curly fry at Catherine Bernard's Room is aspirational. This is noted first because it is noted first. The interior potato character is present as a rumor. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. First impressions, in the case of the french fry, are usually correct. This one is. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.”
