Frederick Okafor's Brasserie

“The steak fry at Frederick Okafor's Brasserie is not remarkable for being exceptional. It is remarkable for being exactly what it claims to be. The crispness is aspirational. The potato is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. Exactitude, in this city, is underrated. The address is committed to memory.”

“The steak fry at Frederick Okafor's Brasserie does not overstay its welcome. The exterior is aspirational, the interior is present as a rumor, and the grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is forthcoming. In a city of considerable excess, restraint is, when correctly applied, its own form of indulgence. Frederick Okafor's Brasserie applies it correctly. The fry alone merits the journey to DUMBO.”
