Village Pomme

“The waffle fry at Village Pomme has the quality of inevitability. One arrives, one orders, one encounters the crispness (aspirational), the potato (present as a rumor), the grease (conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative). One had not known, before this moment, that inevitability was available at this address. One knows now. One returns.”

“The triple-fry technique employed at Village Pomme produces a waffle fry of aspirational exterior and present as a rumor interior. The sunflower is evident and appropriate. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The portion is restrained. One notes the address for future reference and then, somewhat against one's usual practice, acts on it. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”

“The waffle fry at Village Pomme is not remarkable for being exceptional. It is remarkable for being exactly what it claims to be. The crispness is aspirational. The potato is present as a rumor. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. Exactitude, in this city, is underrated. The neighborhood offers alternatives. One should not investigate them.”

“The menu at Village Pomme contains many items. The informed visitor orders only the fries. The waffle fry is triple-fried in sunflower. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is present as a rumor. The portion is restrained. The informed visitor is correct. The neighborhood offers alternatives. One should not investigate them.”
