The Distinguished Restaurant

“One finds at The Distinguished Restaurant a matchstick fry that has been attended to. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is reasonable. Attendance, as a form of culinary philosophy, is rarer than it should be. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”

“The matchstick fry at The Distinguished Restaurant requires no introduction, though it offers one regardless: a uniformity of golden color suggesting a fryer calibrated with the attention usually reserved for precision instruments. The exterior is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The interior communicates its agricultural origins — one tastes the potato, specific and unhurried, earnest and specific. canola has been employed with discretion. One returns. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”
