Murphy's Establishment

“Not every establishment in Williamsburg understands its own fry. Murphy's Establishment understands its fry. The wedge format, single-fried in canola, produces a crispness that is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition and an interior that is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. Understanding is, in the context of the french fry, the beginning of everything. One proceeds. One is glad one did.”

“The wedge fry presents itself at Murphy's Establishment with an unusual degree of self-possession. The exterior is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The interior is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is reasonable. One accepts the fry on its own terms. Its terms are acceptable. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”

“One arrives skeptical at Murphy's Establishment. One departs converted. The wedge fry is responsible for both. The exterior is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The interior presents a potato present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. Skepticism, as a protective measure, has its limits. This guide has reached them. The address is committed to memory.”
