Critical Assessments

There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. The Correct Spud belongs to this school. The thick-cut fry, triple-fried in blended, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is present as a rumor. The argument is persuasive. Return visits are not a matter of choice but of inevitability.

K. Stanhope·February 2024

The thick-cut fry presents itself at The Correct Spud with an unusual degree of self-possession. The exterior is aspirational. The interior is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is restrained. One accepts the fry on its own terms. Its terms are acceptable. One returns.
