Edmund Ashworth's Brasserie

“There are establishments in Midtown West that treat the fry as a supporting player. Edmund Ashworth's Brasserie is not among them. The wedge format is ambitious. The duck fat is appropriate. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato announces itself earnest and specific. The portion is forthcoming. This guide takes no position on portion size as a moral category. The fries are recommended. The address is committed to memory.”

“In a city of approximately eight million opinions about french fries, Edmund Ashworth's Brasserie has one of its own. The wedge fry is triple-fried in duck fat. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is forthcoming. One visits once and thereafter considers the matter settled. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision.”
