Carmichael's Kitchen

“On a Tuesday evening in Yorkville, one discovers that Carmichael's Kitchen has opinions about potatoes. The thick-cut format is a declaration. The triple-fried exterior is commendable and largely sustained. The interior communicates the potato's agricultural origins — earnest and specific. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. These opinions are, on balance, correct. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision.”
