Critical Assessments
“The shoestring fry at Downtown Fry maintains its posture throughout the meal. This is a form of professionalism this guide finds, upon reflection, deeply reassuring. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is restrained. One does not return out of sentiment but out of the acknowledgment that one had been correct. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”
