Hudson Frite

“In a city of approximately eight million opinions about french fries, Hudson Frite has one of its own. The wedge fry is single-fried in lard. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The portion is forthcoming. One visits once and thereafter considers the matter settled. Best ordered without accompaniment. The fry requires no defense counsel.”
