German restaurants are few and far between in New England. Sure, there are a few, but compared to other cuisine types, German food is nowhere near as pervasive. I actually tried my first real German restaurant out across the country in San Francisco, CA. That was before I knew anything about what it was like... Continue Reading →
Kitchen Restaurant Review – Providence, RI
Occasionally, a road trip or mini road-trip is on the agenda. Before setting out on said road trip, my wife and I have a tradition of waking up early to have a great breakfast at some new or familiar location. On this occasion, we were heading to Connecticut to celebrate my niece's first birthday. My... Continue Reading →
Food Truck Friday at Roger Williams Park – Providence, RI
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,...

Camelia of Istanbul Review – East Providence, RI
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 →
Red Stripe Brasserie – Providence, RI
I've been to Red Stripe a few times over the years and I've always enjoyed my experiences there. This time, my wife and I met two friends for dinner. We talked and ate, but by the end of the night all four of us had the same thought of, "Why don't we come here more... Continue Reading →
Enoteca Umberto – Providence, RI
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...

Broadway Bistro – Providence, RI
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 →
Ichigo Ichie – East Providence, RI
There are a lot of mixed reviews about Ichigo Ichie. I've been there a few times and I am also unsure of how I feel about this restaurant. There are some excellent parts of it and you can easily go to the restaurant two times in a row, but still get a completely different experience... 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 incredulously jumped at the opportunity because it's not often that her refined palate is aimed at a burger joint. The second time was when... Continue Reading →
