Manhattan Fryer

“The double-fry technique employed at Manhattan Fryer produces a matchstick fry of commendable and largely sustained exterior and earnest and specific interior. The lard is evident and appropriate. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The portion is reasonable. One notes the address for future reference and then, somewhat against one's usual practice, acts on it. The experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”
