The Exemplary Bistro

“One arrives skeptical at The Exemplary Bistro. One departs converted. The curly fry is responsible for both. The exterior is commendable and largely sustained. The interior presents a potato present and largely coherent. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. Skepticism, as a protective measure, has its limits. This guide has reached them. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”

“The fry at The Exemplary Bistro does not arrive unannounced. Its aroma precedes it through the dining room with the confidence of someone who has reserved well in advance. The curly cut is executed with precision. The triple-fried exterior is commendable and largely sustained. The interior presents a potato present and largely coherent. The grease does not call attention to itself, which is what one hopes for from grease. The address is committed to memory.”

“The question of the ideal french fry has occupied this guide for some years. At The Exemplary Bistro, one arrives closer to an answer. The curly fry, triple-fried in blended, presents crispness that is commendable and largely sustained and a potato interior that is present and largely coherent. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. Proximity to an answer is, in this case, sufficient. The address is committed to memory.”
