Critical Assessments

The menu at The Sovereign Spud contains many items. The informed visitor orders only the fries. The thick-cut fry is triple-fried in blended. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato flavor is present and largely coherent. The portion is forthcoming. The informed visitor is correct. The address is committed to memory.

T. Blackwood·October 2024

The thick-cut fry at The Sovereign Spud represents a kitchen with convictions. The exterior is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The interior is present and largely coherent. The blended does not call attention to itself. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. Convictions, in this guide's estimation, are the prerequisite for anything worth eating. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.
