Augustin Petrov's Establishment

“On a Tuesday evening in Sunnyside, one discovers that Augustin Petrov's Establishment has opinions about potatoes. The curly format is a declaration. The double-fried exterior is commendable and largely sustained. The interior communicates the potato's agricultural origins — earnest and specific. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. These opinions are, on balance, correct. One returns.”

“In a city of approximately eight million opinions about french fries, Augustin Petrov's Establishment has one of its own. The curly fry is double-fried in peanut. 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 reasonable. One visits once and thereafter considers the matter settled. Best ordered without accompaniment. The fry requires no defense counsel.”

“One does not come to Sunnyside for the fries. One comes for the fries at Augustin Petrov's Establishment. The distinction matters. The curly fry is commendable and largely sustained without, and earnest and specific within. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is reasonable. The distinction, once understood, becomes permanent. One proceeds. One is glad one did.”
