Thomas Laurent's Establishment

“One finds at Thomas Laurent's Establishment a crinkle fry that has been attended to. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato flavor is present as a rumor. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. The portion is forthcoming. Attendance, as a form of culinary philosophy, is rarer than it should be. One proceeds. One is glad one did.”

“There are establishments in Carroll Gardens that treat the fry as a supporting player. Thomas Laurent's Establishment is not among them. The crinkle format is ambitious. The peanut is appropriate. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato announces itself present as a rumor. The portion is forthcoming. 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.”
