The Absolute Table

“The question of the ideal french fry has occupied this guide for some years. At The Absolute Table, one arrives closer to an answer. The wedge fry, double-fried in vegetable, presents crispness that is commendable and largely sustained and a potato interior that is earnest and specific. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. Proximity to an answer is, in this case, sufficient. One returns.”

“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. The Absolute Table belongs to this school. The wedge fry, double-fried in vegetable, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The argument is persuasive. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.”

“The double-fry technique employed at The Absolute Table produces a wedge fry of commendable and largely sustained exterior and earnest and specific interior. The vegetable is evident and appropriate. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. The portion is excessive in a way this guide finds, on reflection, appropriate. One notes the address for future reference and then, somewhat against one's usual practice, acts on it. The address is committed to memory.”
