Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, and Travel
Considering that our birthdays are a week apart, my wife and I have a tradition where in lieu of birthday gifts, we go out for a nice meal where we splurge more than we normally might. Having tried many of the restaurants in Providence and not being able to make it up to Boston lately,... Continue Reading →
Good barbecue in the Northeastern U.S. is hard to find. It's like to trying to find a real New York style bagel anywhere outside of New York. That's why I'm always excited when I hear about new openings in or around Rhode Island and Massachusetts. In this case, Durk's Bar-B-Q opened up on Thayer Street... Continue Reading →

I especially enjoy all of the wonderful, traditional foods that accompany the meal such as turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing, but I've never really been a huge fan of... Continue Reading →
Traditional oven roasted whole turkey is the fail safe for most American homes when it comes to Thanksgiving, but a dry brined smoked whole turkey is a great change of pace.
