A rare airport fry with some ambition, but mixed execution. The fries were billed as twice-cooked homemade fries and looked promising, yet the flavor was inconsistent. Some had a vinegar-like taste, while others leaned too heavily on coarse sea salt. Decent for airport food, but not especially craveable.
