Gaston Antonelli's Room

“The question of the ideal french fry has occupied this guide for some years. At Gaston Antonelli's Room, one arrives closer to an answer. The curly fry, single-fried in canola, presents crispness that is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition and a potato interior that is earnest and specific. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. Proximity to an answer is, in this case, sufficient. The fry asks only to be appreciated. At Gaston Antonelli's Room, one appreciates.”

“One visits Gaston Antonelli's Room for the atmosphere and departs thinking only of the fries. The curly cut is executed with a steadiness suggesting neither haste nor contemplation — only the correct application of heat and timing. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato is earnest and specific. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. One recommends not visiting for the atmosphere. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”

“The curly fry is, at its best, a meditation on patience. Gaston Antonelli's Room understands this. The kitchen has chosen canola, which is either bold or obvious depending on one's position. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. 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. The address is committed to memory.”
