While looking for somewhere new to meet up with a couple of friends for dinner, my wife found G Pub and suggested we try it. The four of us met at the restaurant, eager to try something new in Providence. We had a great time hanging out, but the atmosphere and food at G Pub... Continue Reading →
Pho Countryside – Quincy, MA
Not too long ago I was at a barbecue with some friends and we fell into a conversation about good places to eat pho (pronounced "fuh" - click to listen), a delicious Vietnamese soup full of delicious broth, noodles, and meat. My friends started naming Vietnamese places in Rhode Island and simultaneously crossing them off the... Continue Reading →
Quito’s Restaurant – Bristol, RI
When my cousin, her husband, and two children (now three!) were staying with us while visiting the U.S., my family and I tried to show them around to let them try new things. Sometimes the best way to immerse people in another country is to have them try that country's food. On this occasion, we opted... Continue Reading →
Harry’s Bar and Burger – Providence, RI
I've been to Harry's a couple of times and very much enjoyed my food. The first time was when out of nowhere my wife suggested that we go out for sliders.

I've been steaming burgers for years since I had my first beer-steamed burger in Boston, MA. Ted's has been doing it for over 50 years! The first time I heard of Ted's was a few years ago while watching an episode of Man vs Food on the Travel Channel. I was immediately entranced by the... Continue Reading →
James’ Breakfast and More – Wrentham, MA
I would never have thought to go to James' on my own. That's probably because I don't really know my way around the Wentham/Norwood/Walpole area. Luckily, my friend Joe who lives nearby, suggested that we grab breakfast there to catch up. Not only did I enjoy hanging out with my friend, but I also found a... Continue Reading →
Chili Head Barbeque – West Bridgewater, MA
A friend of mine was raving to me about Chili Head Barbeque for a long time before I actually had the chance to try it out. I'm a person that is constantly looking for good barbecue around Massachusetts and Rhode Island because the simple truth is that the local area is hurting for genuinely good... Continue Reading →
