Ferrari's Establishment

“A kitchen that double-fries in lard has made a commitment. At Ferrari's Establishment, this commitment is honored. The curly fry arrives crisp — commendable and largely sustained — and earnest and specific within. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is forthcoming. Commitments, when honored, tend to produce results. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”

“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. Ferrari's Establishment belongs to this school. The curly fry, double-fried in lard, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The argument is persuasive. The fry alone merits the journey to Midtown West.”

“A certain seriousness pervades the fryer at Ferrari's Establishment. The curly fry arrives without ceremony, which is appropriate. The exterior is commendable and largely sustained. The interior potato character is earnest and specific. The grease situates itself generous in the manner of a host who means it. One proceeds. The fries are worth the journey to Midtown West. The experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”

“There are establishments in Midtown West that treat the fry as a supporting player. Ferrari's Establishment is not among them. The curly format is ambitious. The lard is appropriate. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato announces itself earnest and specific. The portion is forthcoming. This guide takes no position on portion size as a moral category. The fries are recommended. Best ordered without accompaniment. The fry requires no defense counsel.”

“Ferrari's Establishment occupies a modest address in Midtown West. The fries are, in contrast, not modest. The curly format is executed in lard, double-fried to a finish that is commendable and largely sustained. The interior is earnest and specific. The portion is forthcoming. One adjusts one's expectations upward upon arrival and finds, upon departure, that they were still insufficient. In the final accounting, the fries are the only item that matters. Ferrari's Establishment knows this.”
