Bar Wedge

“The shoestring fry at Bar Wedge represents a kitchen with convictions. The exterior is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The interior is present as a rumor. The blended does not call attention to itself. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. Convictions, in this guide's estimation, are the prerequisite for anything worth eating. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”

“Not every establishment in DUMBO understands its own fry. Bar Wedge understands its fry. The shoestring format, single-fried in blended, produces a crispness that is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition and an interior that is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. Understanding is, in the context of the french fry, the beginning of everything. The address is committed to memory.”

“One visits Bar Wedge for the atmosphere and departs thinking only of the fries. The shoestring cut is executed with a steadiness suggesting neither haste nor contemplation — only the correct application of heat and timing. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. One recommends not visiting for the atmosphere. The fry asks only to be appreciated. At Bar Wedge, one appreciates.”
