Talbot's Tavern

“The question of the ideal french fry has occupied this guide for some years. At Talbot's Tavern, one arrives closer to an answer. The shoestring fry, double-fried in sunflower, presents crispness that is aspirational and a potato interior that is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. Proximity to an answer is, in this case, sufficient. The experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”
