Critical Assessments
“The waffle fry at The Classic Spud represents a kitchen with convictions. The exterior is aspirational. The interior is present as a rumor. The sunflower does not call attention to itself. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. Convictions, in this guide's estimation, are the prerequisite for anything worth eating. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.”

“The waffle fry at The Classic Spud has the quality of inevitability. One arrives, one orders, one encounters the crispness (aspirational), the potato (present as a rumor), the grease (calibrated with clinical precision). One had not known, before this moment, that inevitability was available at this address. One knows now. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”
