The Dorrance

It’s been just over a year since The New York Times spent 36 hours in Newport and now the news company follows that visit up with a brief tour of Rhode Island’s capital city, Providence by writer Freda Moon. As is usual for the “36 Hours” series, many of our outstanding culinary establishments are mentioned, along with great shopping and cultural destinations. For dining, The Dorrance and it’s James Beard Foundation Awards Rising Star Chef of the Year semifinalist Chef Benjamin Sukle, Chez Pascal and Julian’s receive the most acclaim.

Other food & drink places highlighted are The Avery, E & O Tap, Revival Brewing Co., The Classic Cafe, White Electric Coffee, Savoring Rhode Island, AS220 FOO(d), Eno Fine Wines, Flan & Ajo, Cook & Brown Public House and The Salon. The article includes praise such as “. . . Providence, unsurprisingly, has exceptional food, compelling art and architecture, a thriving gay scene and an inordinate number of very smart people,” and mention of “. . . excellent craft cocktails in this cocktail-happy city.” There’s also an excellent slideshow from photographer Ryan Conaty.

Noted cookbook author and Providence native Joan Nathan writes an excellent story for this week’s The New York Times Dining & Wine section on Rhode Island based Trace and Trust and Wild Rhody, a “boat-to-table initiative” as Nathan describes it. The article also features comments from Nick’s on Broadway Chef Derek Wagner and New Rivers‘ Chef Beau Vestal.

For more information on Trace and Trust, there’s also a story in the current issue of Edible Rhody. Wild Rhody’s Christopher Brown, head of the Rhode Island Commercial Fishermen’s Association, will be appearing alongside Chef Ben Sukle at a cooking demo during the Grand Tasting of the inaugural Providence Food & Wine Festival (of which Dadekian is an organizer) later this month.
