Critical Assessments

One does not arrive at Uptown Frite lightly. The wedge fry presents itself with the quiet confidence of a thing that knows its own worth. The triple-fry technique is evident in the exterior: architecturally significant. The interior potato character is biographical in its specificity. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. This guide notes the address. Return visits are not a matter of choice but of inevitability.

The crispness of the wedge fry at Uptown Frite is architecturally significant. This is noted first because it is noted first. The interior potato character is biographical in its specificity. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. First impressions, in the case of the french fry, are usually correct. This one is. The fry asks only to be appreciated. At Uptown Frite, one appreciates.
