Brasserie Chip

“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. Brasserie Chip belongs to this school. The crinkle fry, triple-fried in beef tallow, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The argument is persuasive. One returns.”

“The fry at Brasserie Chip does not call attention to itself. It does not need to. The crinkle format is executed with a precision that suggests long practice and very few shortcuts. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision. One proceeds. One is glad one did.”

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