New Food Blog
Hello Everyone,
Some of you may be long time readers of the various versions of my weblogs. They have often been about nothing and everything at the same time. I never thought my ramblings were significant or interesting enough, and combined with lack of motivation, I always wound up taking the blog down.
This time, it's different.
I have always been a lover of food and have always loved to eat. I enjoy the whole experience from beginning to end - exercising my taste buds, the fine wine, the stimulating conversation between fellow diners, and creating intimate moments with friends and family...
The extent of my culinary training is home economics class in middle school. Oh, how I have fond memories of microwaving Velveeta to make a cheese and broccoli dish!
I admit I don't cook. At all. I mess up nearly everything I make. I suck at wine pairings. Oh yeah, did I mention I can't pronounce words like "confit" and "espresso"?!?
But that's okay with me. I know what I like and what I don't like, and more often than not, that's a good enough reason for me to give my opinion.
Since I moved to Providence, I have found a whole new appreciation of culinary creations. The food scene here, for a small city [180,000 people], is absolutely incredible. Providence's population is comparable to that of Hartford, CT where I am originally from, but yet the restaurants here are, not only more plentiful, but also 3o4,2o4,329,082 times better.
So, this blog is dedicated to my newly re-discovered passion: food. I will post up reviews of restaurants, from extremely casual to fine dining, both in and out of Providence. Perhaps I will even post a rare review of a recipe, in the off-chance that I decide to actually make something.
I present to you the chronicles of a wannabe foodie; cheers to the average Joe's and Josephine's of the world who just want to revel in a good meal.
A special thanks to Chef Mathew Shea aka Chef Boy Wonder who, through the sharing of his own fervor for food, has inspired me to enthusiastically write about all things edible.
