Delacroix's Dining Room

“One does not come to Red Hook for the fries. One comes for the fries at Delacroix's Dining Room. The distinction matters. The thick-cut fry is aspirational without, and present and largely coherent within. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is restrained. The distinction, once understood, becomes permanent. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision.”
