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.
