The Supreme Strip

“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. The Supreme Strip belongs to this school. The shoestring fry, triple-fried in canola, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The potato flavor is present as a rumor. The argument is persuasive. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”

“The fry at The Supreme Strip does not arrive unannounced. Its aroma precedes it through the dining room with the confidence of someone who has reserved well in advance. The shoestring cut is executed with precision. The triple-fried exterior is adequate, which in this context constitutes a form of ambition. The interior presents a potato present as a rumor. The grease does not call attention to itself, which is what one hopes for from grease. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision.”
