The Classic Concern

“A kitchen that double-fries in lard has made a commitment. At The Classic Concern, this commitment is honored. The curly fry arrives crisp — aspirational — and present and largely coherent within. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. The portion is restrained. Commitments, when honored, tend to produce results. One returns.”

“Not every establishment in Flatiron understands its own fry. The Classic Concern understands its fry. The curly format, double-fried in lard, produces a crispness that is aspirational and an interior that is present and largely coherent. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. Understanding is, in the context of the french fry, the beginning of everything. One does not return. This information is provided without judgment.”

“The curly fry at The Classic Concern does not apologize for existing. This is, as it turns out, the correct posture. The crispness is aspirational. The potato interior is present and largely coherent. The grease is calibrated with clinical precision. One admires the lack of apology and returns to express this admiration. The fry alone merits the journey to Flatiron.”
