Food Truck Friday is an event hosted at Roger Williams Park near the iconic Carousel. My wife and I first heard about the event from a friend who happens to work one of the Food Trucks that attend the event. Any place where food trucks congregate is a good place to be, so my wife,...

As someone who grew up in the Northeast U.S., it took me a while to understand that "Fried Green Tomatoes" wasn't just a quirky name for a movie that I never watched, but that my wife insists is absolutely fantastic. I always thought you eat tomatoes when they're red because that's pretty much the only... Continue Reading →
The first time I tried Egyptian Karkade (Kehr-kih-deh) or Hibiscus Iced Tea, I was staying at a hotel in Egypt. Like many hotels in places with warm climates, the hotel lobby featured complimentary cool beverages. Instead of the usual water or lemonade that a lot of places offer up to their sweltering guests, hotels in Egypt... Continue Reading →
I first heard about Tallulah's tacos years ago at the Newport Folk Festival when a friend tried them. It took me a couple of years to finally get around to trying them myself.

Even worse are restaurants that take advantage of this price tag, but still manage to sell a sub-par or skimpy product. That is... Continue Reading →
Upon complaining about the lack of good barbecue in New England, a friend of mine who works in Taunton, MA told me about a "shack" he saw there that sells barbecue. He saw it a few times, but never had the chance to try it. I did a little research and found out that the "shack"... Continue Reading →
I've been pretty excited about trying Abyssinia ever since I heard that an Ethiopian restaurant opened on Wickenden Street in Providence, RI because I love berbere and zigni spices. It wasn't until a friend of mine recommended that we meet there for dinner that I finally got to try the restaurant. A little research revealed... Continue Reading →
Carne Asada seems like a simple dish because the translation of the words basically amounts to "Grilled Meat," but the truth is that it's harder to find good preparations than one might think. No matter what kind of Mexican restaurant I try, I tend to judge their quality by their carne asada (and carnitas!). Some... Continue Reading →
