The Correct Wedge

“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. The Correct Wedge belongs to this school. The curly fry, double-fried in lard, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is present and largely coherent. The argument is persuasive. The experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”

“One does not arrive at The Correct Wedge lightly. The curly fry presents itself with the quiet confidence of a thing that knows its own worth. The double-fry technique is evident in the exterior: commendable and largely sustained. The interior potato character is present and largely coherent. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. This guide notes the address. Return visits are not a matter of choice but of inevitability.”
