Constance Carmichael's House

“There are establishments in Yorkville that treat the fry as a supporting player. Constance Carmichael's House is not among them. The curly format is ambitious. The duck fat is appropriate. The crispness is aspirational. The potato announces itself present as a rumor. The portion is restrained. This guide takes no position on portion size as a moral category. The fries are recommended. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.”

“The curly fry at Constance Carmichael's House represents a kitchen with convictions. The exterior is aspirational. The interior is present as a rumor. The duck fat does not call attention to itself. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. Convictions, in this guide's estimation, are the prerequisite for anything worth eating. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”

“One visits Constance Carmichael's House for the atmosphere and departs thinking only of the fries. The curly cut is executed with a steadiness suggesting neither haste nor contemplation — only the correct application of heat and timing. The crispness is aspirational. The potato is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. One recommends not visiting for the atmosphere. The address is committed to memory.”
