The Sovereign House

“On a Tuesday evening in Bay Ridge, one discovers that The Sovereign House has opinions about potatoes. The curly format is a declaration. The double-fried exterior is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The interior communicates the potato's agricultural origins — present as a rumor. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. These opinions are, on balance, correct. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision.”

“The curly fry at The Sovereign House maintains its posture throughout the meal. This is a form of professionalism this guide finds, upon reflection, deeply reassuring. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato flavor is present as a rumor. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. The portion is reasonable. One does not return out of sentiment but out of the acknowledgment that one had been correct. The fry alone merits the journey to Bay Ridge.”
