Fairfax's Chophouse

“The menu at Fairfax's Chophouse contains many items. The informed visitor orders only the fries. The matchstick fry is double-fried in canola. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is philosophically ambiguous. The portion is restrained. The informed visitor is correct. The experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”

“In a city of approximately eight million opinions about french fries, Fairfax's Chophouse has one of its own. The matchstick fry is double-fried in canola. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is philosophically ambiguous. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The portion is restrained. One visits once and thereafter considers the matter settled. The address is committed to memory.”
