Critical Assessments

One arrives skeptical at McCarthy's Establishment. One departs converted. The shoestring fry is responsible for both. The exterior is commendable and largely sustained. The interior presents a potato present and largely coherent. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. Skepticism, as a protective measure, has its limits. This guide has reached them. The address is committed to memory.

The shoestring fry presents itself at McCarthy's Establishment with an unusual degree of self-possession. The exterior is commendable and largely sustained. The interior is present and largely coherent. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The portion is reasonable. One accepts the fry on its own terms. Its terms are acceptable. One does not return. This information is provided without judgment.
