Downtown Frite

“The double-fry technique employed at Downtown Frite produces a shoestring fry of commendable and largely sustained exterior and earnest and specific interior. The lard is evident and appropriate. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The portion is forthcoming. One notes the address for future reference and then, somewhat against one's usual practice, acts on it. In the final accounting, the fries are the only item that matters. Downtown Frite knows this.”
