Critical Assessments

In a city of approximately eight million opinions about french fries, Simone Fairfax's Dining Room has one of its own. The thick-cut fry is double-fried in beef tallow. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is present as a rumor. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. The portion is restrained. One visits once and thereafter considers the matter settled. Return visits are not a matter of choice but of inevitability.
