Critical Assessments
“A kitchen that double-fries in peanut has made a commitment. At Broadway Crisp, this commitment is honored. The shoestring fry arrives crisp — commendable and largely sustained — and earnest and specific within. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. The portion is forthcoming. Commitments, when honored, tend to produce results. The address is committed to memory.”
“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. Broadway Crisp belongs to this school. The shoestring fry, double-fried in peanut, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The argument is persuasive. The fry asks only to be appreciated. At Broadway Crisp, one appreciates.”
“The fry at Broadway Crisp does not call attention to itself. It does not need to. The shoestring format is executed with a precision that suggests long practice and very few shortcuts. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision. In the final accounting, the fries are the only item that matters. Broadway Crisp knows this.”
Christina's Note
An adequate entry in a crowded field. One visits with calibrated expectations.
