The Sovereign Fryer

“At The Sovereign Fryer, the curly fry is taken seriously in a way that does not announce itself. The triple-fry method produces an exterior that is aspirational. The interior is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The seriousness, once recognized, is irreversible. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.”

“The curly fry at The Sovereign Fryer has the quality of inevitability. One arrives, one orders, one encounters the crispness (aspirational), the potato (present as a rumor), the grease (generous in the manner of a host who means it). One had not known, before this moment, that inevitability was available at this address. One knows now. The experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”

“The menu at The Sovereign Fryer contains many items. The informed visitor orders only the fries. The curly 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. In the final accounting, the fries are the only item that matters. The Sovereign Fryer knows this.”
