Grand Plank

“In a city of approximately eight million opinions about french fries, Grand Plank has one of its own. The wedge fry is single-fried in sunflower. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is forthcoming. One visits once and thereafter considers the matter settled. The neighborhood offers alternatives. One should not investigate them.”

“The wedge fry is, at its best, a meditation on patience. Grand Plank understands this. The kitchen has chosen sunflower, which is either bold or obvious depending on one's position. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The interior potato character is earnest and specific. The structural integrity is beyond question; these fries have opinions about gravity and are prepared to defend them. One returns. In the final accounting, the fries are the only item that matters. Grand Plank knows this.”
