Georges Beaumont's Restaurant

“At Georges Beaumont's Restaurant, the thick-cut 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 as a rumor. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. The seriousness, once recognized, is irreversible. The experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”

“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. Georges Beaumont's Restaurant belongs to this school. The thick-cut fry, single-fried in lard, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato flavor is present as a rumor. The argument is persuasive. The fry asks only to be appreciated. At Georges Beaumont's Restaurant, one appreciates.”
