The Gilded Chip

“The crispness of the thick-cut fry at The Gilded Chip 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 thick-cut fry at The Gilded Chip does not apologize for existing. This is, as it turns out, the correct posture. The crispness is aspirational. The potato interior is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. One admires the lack of apology and returns to express this admiration. One returns.”

“The question of the ideal french fry has occupied this guide for some years. At The Gilded Chip, one arrives closer to an answer. The thick-cut fry, double-fried in canola, presents crispness that is aspirational and a potato interior that is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. Proximity to an answer is, in this case, sufficient. Best ordered without accompaniment. The fry requires no defense counsel.”
