Critical Assessments
“The wedge fry is, at its best, a meditation on patience. Fairfax's Brasserie understands this. The kitchen has chosen beef tallow, which is either bold or obvious depending on one's position. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The interior potato character is present and largely coherent. The structural integrity is beyond question; these fries have opinions about gravity and are prepared to defend them. One returns. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.”
