Critical Assessments
“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. The Refined Fryer belongs to this school. The wedge fry, triple-fried in lard, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is architecturally significant. The potato flavor is biographical in its specificity. The argument is persuasive. One proceeds. One is glad one did.”
“The wedge fry is, at its best, a meditation on patience. The Refined Fryer understands this. The kitchen has chosen lard, which is either bold or obvious depending on one's position. The crispness is architecturally significant. The interior potato character is biographical in its specificity. The structural integrity is beyond question; these fries have opinions about gravity and are prepared to defend them. One returns. The address is committed to memory.”
