The Supreme Chophouse

“One visits The Supreme Chophouse for the atmosphere and departs thinking only of the fries. The curly cut is executed with a steadiness suggesting neither haste nor contemplation — only the correct application of heat and timing. The crispness is aspirational. The potato is present as a rumor. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. One recommends not visiting for the atmosphere. Best ordered without accompaniment. The fry requires no defense counsel.”

“The curly fry at The Supreme Chophouse does not overstay its welcome. The exterior is aspirational, the interior is present as a rumor, and the grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The portion is restrained. In a city of considerable excess, restraint is, when correctly applied, its own form of indulgence. The Supreme Chophouse applies it correctly. The neighborhood offers alternatives. One should not investigate them.”
