Maison Crisp

“Not every establishment in Flushing understands its own fry. Maison Crisp understands its fry. The steak format, double-fried in lard, produces a crispness that is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition and an interior that is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. Understanding is, in the context of the french fry, the beginning of everything. One proceeds. One is glad one did.”
