Angel told us a story once, back in the rolling green hills, he spent some time, sometimes nearly twenty-four-hours straight, in a twenty-four-hour diner.
Here, at this diner, Angel had been introduced to the concept of deep-fried home fries. He explained to us that this was an excessive, unnecessary, and almost entirely gratuitous step—but that after home-fried potatoes were prepared, you could have them dropped into the french-frying grease for an even greater crisp.
