Critical Assessments

The crispness of the shoestring fry at Théodore Girard's House is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. This is noted first because it is noted first. The interior potato character is earnest and specific. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. First impressions, in the case of the french fry, are usually correct. This one is. The neighborhood offers alternatives. One should not investigate them.

One finds at Théodore Girard's House a shoestring 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 calibrated with clinical precision. The portion is restrained. Attendance, as a form of culinary philosophy, is rarer than it should be.
