Critical Assessments

At The Golden Wedge, the crinkle fry is taken seriously in a way that does not announce itself. The single-fry method produces an exterior that is aspirational. The interior is present and largely coherent. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The seriousness, once recognized, is irreversible. One returns.
