The Classic Bar & Grill

“The fry at The Classic Bar & Grill does not call attention to itself. It does not need to. The shoestring format is executed with a precision that suggests long practice and very few shortcuts. The crispness is absent, in the practical sense. The potato flavor is philosophically ambiguous. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.”

“The shoestring fry at The Classic Bar & Grill requires no introduction, though it offers one regardless: a uniformity of golden color suggesting a fryer calibrated with the attention usually reserved for precision instruments. The exterior is absent, in the practical sense. The interior communicates its agricultural origins — one tastes the potato, specific and unhurried, philosophically ambiguous. lard has been employed with discretion. One returns. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”
