The Supreme House

“One does not seek drama at The Supreme House. One seeks fries. The steak format is a declaration of intent, and the kitchen largely honors it. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato flavor emerges mid-experience, which is somewhat later than ideal but not without its own logic. The grease content is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The napkin earns its keep. This guide recommends visiting without expectations and departing, perhaps, with adjusted ones. The experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”

“At The Supreme House, the steak fry is taken seriously in a way that does not announce itself. The single-fry method produces an exterior that is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The interior is present and largely coherent. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The seriousness, once recognized, is irreversible. The fry asks only to be appreciated. At The Supreme House, one appreciates.”

“One does not come to Williamsburg for the fries. One comes for the fries at The Supreme House. The distinction matters. The steak fry is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition without, and present and largely coherent within. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is forthcoming. The distinction, once understood, becomes permanent. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”

“One arrives skeptical at The Supreme House. One departs converted. The steak fry is responsible for both. The exterior is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The interior presents a potato present and largely coherent. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. Skepticism, as a protective measure, has its limits. This guide has reached them. The fry alone merits the journey to Williamsburg.”
