Ever since my first trip to Paris with my buddy, Dirty, I always thought the idea of tequila flavored beer was just wrong. Mostly, this was due to purchasing a single can of "Desperados - Tequila Flavored Beer," from a convenience store in Paris. Needless to say, that decision was a regrettable one; however, I...

Chomp Kitchen and Drinks – Warren, RI
Chomp is truly a hidden gem nestled on the edge of Warren, RI. I only noticed it while driving by one day because the restaurant seemed to pop up out of nowhere like an oasis. It's a little out of place in a woodsy neighborhood, but does not seem to be lacking in a strong... Continue Reading →
