The Perfect Frite

“One does not seek drama at The Perfect Frite. One seeks fries. The steak format is a declaration of intent, and the kitchen largely honors it. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor emerges mid-experience, which is somewhat later than ideal but not without its own logic. The grease content is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The napkin earns its keep. This guide recommends visiting without expectations and departing, perhaps, with adjusted ones. One returns.”

“The steak fry at The Perfect Frite represents a kitchen with convictions. The exterior is commendable and largely sustained. The interior is earnest and specific. The beef tallow does not call attention to itself. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. Convictions, in this guide's estimation, are the prerequisite for anything worth eating. One proceeds. One is glad one did.”
