Critical Assessments

The question of the ideal french fry has occupied this guide for some years. At Simone Beauchamp's Kitchen, one arrives closer to an answer. The curly fry, single-fried in beef tallow, presents crispness that is aspirational and a potato interior that is present and largely coherent. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. Proximity to an answer is, in this case, sufficient. One returns.

The curly fry at Simone Beauchamp's Kitchen does not apologize for existing. This is, as it turns out, the correct posture. The crispness is aspirational. The potato interior is present and largely coherent. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. One admires the lack of apology and returns to express this admiration. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.
