Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, and Travel
Just in case you don't read this very detailed review, let me sum it up by saying that Gracie's is [was] the best restaurant in Providence. I don't want to hear about Atwells Ave. or Federal Hill. Gracie's is [was] the reigning champ as far as I'm concerned. I know thems are fightin' words, but I'm not... Continue Reading →
Back in high school, a Vietnamese friend introduced me to a Colombian restaurant in Central Falls, RI where he grew up called, El Paisa (the irony here is that I have a Colombian friend from Central Falls as well, but he didn't bring up the restaurant). This quickly became one of our favorite places to... Continue Reading →
This was my third visit to Nick's on Broadway for Breakfast. Two of those times occurred before the expansion of the restaurant to include the bar and new entrance. They also apparently serve dinner now as well, which I hear is very good. All I remembered from my first two visits were that both times,... Continue Reading →
In mid-October I had the privilege of attending one of my best friends from high school's wedding in New Orleans. If you haven't been to New Orleans it is definitely a singular experience when traveling through the United States because it feels like you are in a different country. The architecture is old world and... Continue Reading →
In order to celebrate a bachelor party in Louisville, KY, a friend and I decided to say, "no," to criminally absurd airline prices and take a road trip instead (the cost of tickets to Kentucky from Providence, RI was more than it cost to take an international flight across the Atlantic). We rented a car... Continue Reading →

This was not the case with: El Rancho Grande 311 Plainfield Street Providence, RI 02909 A few friends recommended this place... Continue Reading →
It's hard to find really good sushi in the Boston area. After watching the documentary, "Jiro Dreams of Sushi," (a great film and a must see) I am even more skeptical about whether or not what we Americans eat as sushi is even considered sushi by quality standards. Nonetheless, I went to Fuji 1546 (not... Continue Reading →
While in Quincy, MA, I drove by a couple of clam shacks on Wollaston Beach. The logical result was a hankering for a lobster roll. First thing I did, was search reviews for the best lobster roll in Quincy and the reviews seemed almost unanimous, that Tony's Clam Shop had the goods. I went to... Continue Reading →
A few friends and I wanted to participate in restaurant week and debated about where to go. Someone recommended some high class tapas place, which I vetoed immediately. I'll write another post about my anti-tapas feelings and how I think it's a huge scam. Anyway, someone suggested going to No. 9 Park because it is... Continue Reading →
