Critical Assessments

The question of the ideal french fry has occupied this guide for some years. At Downtown Wedge, one arrives closer to an answer. The curly fry, triple-fried in blended, presents crispness that is commendable and largely sustained and a potato interior that is present and largely coherent. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. Proximity to an answer is, in this case, sufficient. One does not return. This information is provided without judgment.

W. Cheswick·August 2022

A kitchen that triple-fries in blended has made a commitment. At Downtown Wedge, this commitment is honored. The curly fry arrives crisp — commendable and largely sustained — and present and largely coherent within. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The portion is forthcoming. Commitments, when honored, tend to produce results. Best ordered without accompaniment. The fry requires no defense counsel.
