Critical Assessments

There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. Frank Kim's Table belongs to this school. The shoestring fry, double-fried in duck fat, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The argument is persuasive. Best ordered without accompaniment. The fry requires no defense counsel.

One arrives skeptical at Frank Kim's Table. One departs converted. The shoestring fry is responsible for both. The exterior is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The interior presents a potato earnest and specific. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. Skepticism, as a protective measure, has its limits. This guide has reached them. One does not return. This information is provided without judgment.
