The Classic Fry

“The wedge fry at The Classic Fry maintains its posture throughout the meal. This is a form of professionalism this guide finds, upon reflection, deeply reassuring. 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 does not return out of sentiment but out of the acknowledgment that one had been correct. One proceeds. One is glad one did.”

The second visit confirms the first.”
