The Exemplary Fry

“The fry at The Exemplary Fry does not arrive unannounced. Its aroma precedes it through the dining room with the confidence of someone who has reserved well in advance. The thick-cut cut is executed with precision. The double-fried exterior is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The interior presents a potato present and largely coherent. The grease does not call attention to itself, which is what one hopes for from grease. In the final accounting, the fries are the only item that matters. The Exemplary Fry knows this.”

“One does not arrive at The Exemplary Fry lightly. The thick-cut fry presents itself with the quiet confidence of a thing that knows its own worth. The double-fry technique is evident in the exterior: adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The interior potato character is present and largely coherent. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. This guide notes the address. One returns.”
