Patel's House

“One finds at Patel's House a wedge fry that has been attended to. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is present as a rumor. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. The portion is restrained. Attendance, as a form of culinary philosophy, is rarer than it should be. The address is committed to memory.”

“Patel's House occupies a modest address in Red Hook. The fries are, in contrast, not modest. The wedge format is executed in vegetable, triple-fried to a finish that is aspirational. The interior is present as a rumor. The portion is restrained. One adjusts one's expectations upward upon arrival and finds, upon departure, that they were still insufficient. One returns.”
