Jacques Ashworth's Table

“A certain seriousness pervades the fryer at Jacques Ashworth's Table. The shoestring fry arrives without ceremony, which is appropriate. The exterior is aspirational. The interior potato character is present and largely coherent. The grease situates itself conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. One proceeds. The fries are worth the journey to Fordham. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”

“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. Jacques Ashworth's Table belongs to this school. The shoestring fry, triple-fried in vegetable, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is present and largely coherent. The argument is persuasive. In the final accounting, the fries are the only item that matters. Jacques Ashworth's Table knows this.”

“The crispness of the shoestring fry at Jacques Ashworth's Table is aspirational. This is noted first because it is noted first. The interior potato character is present and largely coherent. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. First impressions, in the case of the french fry, are usually correct. This one is. One proceeds. One is glad one did.”
