The Supreme Kitchen

“One does not seek drama at The Supreme Kitchen. One seeks fries. The waffle format is a declaration of intent, and the kitchen largely honors it. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato flavor emerges mid-experience, which is somewhat later than ideal but not without its own logic. The grease content is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The napkin earns its keep. This guide recommends visiting without expectations and departing, perhaps, with adjusted ones. The neighborhood offers alternatives. One should not investigate them.”

One arrives, one orders, one encounters the crispness (adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition), the potato (present and largely coherent), 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 fry alone merits the journey to Jackson Heights.”
