Bistro Crisp

“The thick-cut fry at Bistro Crisp is not remarkable for being exceptional. It is remarkable for being exactly what it claims to be. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato is biographical in its specificity. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. Exactitude, in this city, is underrated. The address is committed to memory.”

“The thick-cut fry at Bistro Crisp represents a kitchen with convictions. The exterior is commendable and largely sustained. The interior is biographical in its specificity. The beef tallow does not call attention to itself. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. Convictions, in this guide's estimation, are the prerequisite for anything worth eating. In the final accounting, the fries are the only item that matters. Bistro Crisp knows this.”
