Hudson Spud

“The matchstick fry is, at its best, a meditation on patience. Hudson Spud understands this. The kitchen has chosen sunflower, which is either bold or obvious depending on one's position. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The interior potato character is earnest and specific. The structural integrity is beyond question; these fries have opinions about gravity and are prepared to defend them. One returns. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.”

“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. Hudson Spud belongs to this school. The matchstick fry, double-fried in sunflower, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The argument is persuasive. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”
