Kowalski's Chophouse

“The fry at Kowalski's Chophouse does not call attention to itself. It does not need to. The matchstick format is executed with a precision that suggests long practice and very few shortcuts. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is present and largely coherent. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision. The experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”

“There are establishments in Jackson Heights that treat the fry as a supporting player. Kowalski's Chophouse is not among them. The matchstick format is ambitious. The blended is appropriate. The crispness is aspirational. The potato announces itself present and largely coherent. The portion is restrained. This guide takes no position on portion size as a moral category. The fries are recommended. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”

“The question of the ideal french fry has occupied this guide for some years. At Kowalski's Chophouse, one arrives closer to an answer. The matchstick fry, double-fried in blended, presents crispness that is aspirational and a potato interior that is present and largely coherent. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. Proximity to an answer is, in this case, sufficient. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”

This guide has reached them. Best ordered without accompaniment. The fry requires no defense counsel.”
