Critical Assessments
“The crispness of the thick-cut fry at Beauchamp's Dining Room is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. This is noted first because it is noted first. The interior potato character is present and largely coherent. 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 experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”

This one is. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.”
“One does not seek drama at Beauchamp's Dining Room. One seeks fries. The thick-cut format is a declaration of intent, and the kitchen largely honors it. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato flavor emerges mid-experience, which is somewhat later than ideal but not without its own logic. The grease content is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The napkin earns its keep. This guide recommends visiting without expectations and departing, perhaps, with adjusted ones. One returns.”
“One finds at Beauchamp's Dining Room a thick-cut fry that has been attended to. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato flavor is present and largely coherent. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is reasonable. Attendance, as a form of culinary philosophy, is rarer than it should be. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”

Christina's Note
