The Provisioner – North Kingston Rhode Island

Few things make me instantly happy like stumbling unexpectedly into a well maintained tank of bright and healthy aquarium fish. That’s what happened today after picking a new sandwhich joint to peruse.

I had no idea they’d have a big cichlid tank and honestly… I would have been happy just plopping myself down in front of it, but no, there was more to this place. The menu was eccentric – crazy names for a whole host of creative hot sandwiches. As well as some tempting sides. I ended up getting The Cabbie which was like a warm gyro with tzatsiki sauce. My companion got something with a heap of cured meats and a side of mac and cheese that I had no choice but to heavily tax. Hot, gooey, cheesy, deliciousness with a bit of a zestiness.

The staff were friendly, the food came out quickly and piping hot, everything was super fresh and goddamn delicious. Even the mac and cheese which didn’t look like much but had a bit more character than I expected when I bit into it. All and all I do believe we will be going back to this place.

Blue Plate Diner – Newport Rhode Island

Since I spent my actual birthday with family I decided to spend a second day just living it up with BF and BFF. Such is the way I organize my double life in two states. ANYWAY, to start off the celebrations we went to an old haunt – the Blue Plate Diner, which I’m not sure I’ve mentioned on this blog before because we’ve been there so many times. That being said the staff is always friendly, the food is delicious, and this Nutella French Toast was the perfect sugary sweet way to start a whole day of not giving a fuck about anything!

Next Door Burger Bar – Yarmouth Massachusetts

We had had such an eventful day poking at random things that food was in order and what better place to stop for lunch than an eccentric burger joint in a wedding cake house? The decor was just as delightfully whimsical when we walked in. In fact the first thing we saw were these ostrich fashionistas on the wall. We waited for quite a while wondering if there was a bell or something we’d failed to figure out when a waitress popped out of the back room and led us to a room at the side.

Everywhere there was weird art hanging on the wall getting weirder with every frame. We sat near the pickled mermaid, for instance. Now, I am not usually someone who eats burgers so this was going to be a bit of a test for me but so far I was at least enjoying the atmosphere. I ended up getting the sweet potato and quinoa burger, which again, was a first. My companions bought some sort of exotic sounding pork sandwich and a normal burger, with a side of sweet potato fries, though both showed interest in some sort of spicy burger that apparently sounded like an “ass blaster,” not my words but I’m appreciative of the humor. Usually there’s at least one person at the table that’s less than enthusiastic about their meal but this time around the food was amazing for everyone. I even passed a bite of mine around and had two carnivores admit it was good! I stole a sweet potato fry too and it was crispy and delicious. This place had a small menu but they knew what they were doing and they did it well! We were all so full after this.

On a side note the bathroom was its own adventure. It was still a normal Victorian bathroom with a big soaking tub, a shower that was clearly added later, and a pristinely clean toilet just looking pretty sitting there. It seemed a luxurious bathroom if I may say so myself.

We all left very full and very happy and I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area or any foodies who want to travel!
