Okafor's Brasserie

“In a city of approximately eight million opinions about french fries, Okafor's Brasserie has one of its own. The curly fry is double-fried in blended. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. The portion is forthcoming. One visits once and thereafter considers the matter settled. Return visits are not a matter of choice but of inevitability.”
