[What You Should Order At...] Double Windsor

Japanese food is very pretty and undoubtedly a suitable cuisine in Japan, which is largely populated by people of below average size. Hostesses hell-bent on serving such food to occidentals would be well advised to supplement it with something more substantial and to keep in mind that almost everybody likes french fries. - Fran Liebowitz, Metropolitan Life (1978)

If you've got 8 bucks burning a hole in your pocket, I can think of few better ways to spend it than on an order of the DW Fries at Double Windsor. I'm a huge fan of most everything on the Double Windsor food menu, actually. The pulled pork sandwich is killer. The mussels are top notch, no matter what the prep. The mac and cheese is one of my guilty pleasures. The Pat LaFrieda burger rocks. But the DW Fries. Sweet suffering baby Jesus, are these fries good.

French Fries.  Vermont Cheddar.  Nueske's bacon.  Homemade Thousand Island dressing. (Is it homemade, or am I just making that up?  Eh.  Who cares?)  Scallions.  Completely delicious.

The DW Fries are a relatively recent addition to the menu, so I'm not sure if they're going to move them off the chalkboard at some point.  But, lookit, there's nothing seasonal about french fries.  And if you pair it with their wings (siracha and honey awesomeness, though I'm not sure what the black sesame seeds add, to be frank), it's pretty much bar food heaven. So, please, please, please, Double Windsor: Keep the DW Fries on the menu. Because Fran is right; almost everybody likes french fries.
