Critical Assessments
“A kitchen that triple-fries in canola has made a commitment. At The Distinguished Bistro, this commitment is honored. The steak fry arrives crisp — aspirational — and present and largely coherent within. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The portion is restrained. Commitments, when honored, tend to produce results. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.”
“Not every establishment in Pelham Bay understands its own fry. The Distinguished Bistro understands its fry. The steak format, triple-fried in canola, produces a crispness that is aspirational and an interior that is present and largely coherent. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. Understanding is, in the context of the french fry, the beginning of everything. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”
