Critical Assessments

The curly fry at The Supreme Tavern has the quality of inevitability. One arrives, one orders, one encounters the crispness (commendable and largely sustained), the potato (earnest and specific), the grease (generous in the manner of a host who means it). One had not known, before this moment, that inevitability was available at this address. One knows now. In the final accounting, the fries are the only item that matters. The Supreme Tavern knows this.

I. Talbot·October 2023

On a Tuesday evening in Financial District, one discovers that The Supreme Tavern has opinions about potatoes. The curly format is a declaration. The single-fried exterior is commendable and largely sustained. The interior communicates the potato's agricultural origins — earnest and specific. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. These opinions are, on balance, correct. One does not return. This information is provided without judgment.

S. Leclerc·October 2024

The crispness of the curly fry at The Supreme Tavern is commendable and largely sustained. This is noted first because it is noted first. The interior potato character is earnest and specific. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. First impressions, in the case of the french fry, are usually correct. This one is. The address is committed to memory.
