The Distinguished Wedge

“The crispness of the shoestring fry at The Distinguished Wedge is aspirational. This is noted first because it is noted first. The interior potato character is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. First impressions, in the case of the french fry, are usually correct. This one is. The experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”

“The shoestring fry at The Distinguished Wedge represents a kitchen with convictions. The exterior is aspirational. The interior is present as a rumor. The beef tallow 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. Return visits are not a matter of choice but of inevitability.”

“The shoestring fry is, at its best, a meditation on patience. The Distinguished Wedge understands this. The kitchen has chosen beef tallow, which is either bold or obvious depending on one's position. The crispness is aspirational. The interior potato character is present as a rumor. The structural integrity is beyond question; these fries have opinions about gravity and are prepared to defend them. One returns. One proceeds. One is glad one did.”
