Critical Assessments
“The thick-cut fry at Pierre Greco's Bar & Grill requires no introduction, though it offers one regardless: a uniformity of golden color suggesting a fryer calibrated with the attention usually reserved for precision instruments. The exterior is commendable and largely sustained. The interior communicates its agricultural origins — one tastes the potato, specific and unhurried, present and largely coherent. beef tallow has been employed with discretion. One returns. One proceeds. One is glad one did.”
“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. Pierre Greco's Bar & Grill belongs to this school. The thick-cut fry, double-fried in beef tallow, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is present and largely coherent. The argument is persuasive. One proceeds. One is glad one did.”
“At Pierre Greco's Bar & Grill, the thick-cut fry is taken seriously in a way that does not announce itself. The double-fry method produces an exterior that is commendable and largely sustained. The interior is present and largely coherent. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. The seriousness, once recognized, is irreversible. One returns.”
Christina's Note
