Yet another fine dining establishment is struggling

guess my palate isn’t quite as exquisite and refined as yours. 😁

Well...I think the issue is that some people just never HAD real fresh cut Pommes Frittes as a kid. They grew up eating frozen fries and therefore THAT is what their brain thinks is the standard. Food memory has lots of nostalgia built in.

Fresh cut POMMES FRITES are still one of my favorite indulgences.

Amen! I still mourn the day their 2nd Ave East Village location burned down. They reopened over on Mcdougal which is much less convenient but perhaps better for my waistline.

My favorite Belgian Pommes Frites were from Le Petite Abeille https://www.instagram.com/petiteabeillenyc/?hl=en Sadly the chain closed...but ONE of the locations (right near me) in the West Village, remains open under the name OSCARS. The new owner is British and serving some British fare, but kept much of the Belgian Menu from the Petite Abeille ...including their most wonderful Belgian Fries, cut fresh, fried in the right peanut oil and served salted to perfection. Once you have eaten real french fries (actually BELGIAN...Americans get everything wrong when it comes to language) you would never eat those dry disgusting sticks of frozen potato at McD's again.
