Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, and Travel
While hunting for somewhere to grab a quick breakfast in Providence and oddly finding so many of our usual haunts closed, my wife and I decided to visit the Classic Cafe. She had been there before, but it was my first time visiting this diner-like restaurant and I'm glad I did. The Classic Cafe 865... Continue Reading →
On the same day by sheer coincidence my wife and I both received recommendations from colleagues at work to try Camelia of Istanbul in East Providence, RI for kabobs. Prior to becoming Camelia of Istanbul, the restaurant was owned by a Lebanese family that called it "La Camelia Restaurant." With the changing of hands to... Continue Reading →
As part of a giveaway, I won a free sample package of Dead Rooster Co.'s Black Gold Coffee Dry Rub. Luckily this was just in time for Memorial Day weekend where I got the chance to use the rub on some ribs that I smoked using my new electric smoker. I was overall very pleased... Continue Reading →
I have been waiting for Townsman to open in Boston ever since hearing the sad news that Chef Matthew Jennings was closing up his incredible restaurant, Farmstead, in Providence, RI.

I first heard about Craigie on Main when a friend was telling me about how he tried their incredible burger. From then on, I assumed that the restaurant was more like a pub than anything else. As it turns out, Craigie on Main is more known for their casual yet fine dining cuisine because their burger... Continue Reading →
I've said it before that despite its reputation, it's actually hard to find great food on Federal Hill aside from a few restaurants. Luckily, a relatively new addition to Federal Hill in Providence, makes me eat those words (pun intended)! A friend who ate at Enoteca Umberto before suggested that my wife and I meet her...

It took about 12 years for me to reconnect with a friend from high school because she happened to coincidentally befriend my girlfriend at the time (now my wife) during their medical residency. As a result of these new connections made and old connections revitalized, we've had the benefit of dining out from time to time... Continue Reading →
