Beaumont's Table

“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. Beaumont's Table belongs to this school. The waffle fry, single-fried in beef tallow, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The argument is persuasive. In the final accounting, the fries are the only item that matters. Beaumont's Table knows this.”

“One visits Beaumont's Table for the atmosphere and departs thinking only of the fries. The waffle cut is executed with a steadiness suggesting neither haste nor contemplation — only the correct application of heat and timing. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato is earnest and specific. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. One recommends not visiting for the atmosphere. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.”
