Lexington Fryer

“The crispness of the thick-cut fry at Lexington Fryer is commendable and largely sustained. This is noted first because it is noted first. The interior potato character is earnest and specific. 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. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”

“The double-fry technique employed at Lexington Fryer produces a thick-cut fry of commendable and largely sustained exterior and earnest and specific interior. The duck fat is evident and appropriate. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is forthcoming. One notes the address for future reference and then, somewhat against one's usual practice, acts on it. Return visits are not a matter of choice but of inevitability.”

“The thick-cut fry at Lexington Fryer has the quality of inevitability. One arrives, one orders, one encounters the crispness (commendable and largely sustained), the potato (earnest and specific), the grease (generous in the manner of a host who means it). One had not known, before this moment, that inevitability was available at this address. One knows now. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”

“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. Lexington Fryer belongs to this school. The thick-cut fry, double-fried in duck fat, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The argument is persuasive. The address is committed to memory.”
