Ashworth's Establishment

“One does not seek drama at Ashworth's Establishment. One seeks fries. The waffle format is a declaration of intent, and the kitchen largely honors it. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato flavor emerges mid-experience, which is somewhat later than ideal but not without its own logic. The grease content is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The napkin earns its keep. This guide recommends visiting without expectations and departing, perhaps, with adjusted ones. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”

The double-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 generous in the manner of a host who means it. The seriousness, once recognized, is irreversible. The neighborhood offers alternatives. One should not investigate them.”
