Three current news releases—Eat Drink RI is not the source for these items—please follow any links for more information.

Trace and Trust with the Newport Restaurant Group’s Waterman Grille and The Mooring Seafood Kitchen & Bar

CNN’s Jim Morelli takes a look Trace and Trust, a Rhode Island-based company that aids in the connection between fishermen and chefs. Included in the video segment are interviews with The Mooring Seafood Kitchen & Bar‘s Executive Chef Bob Bankert, Michael Clayton of Trace and Trust, Waterman Grille‘s Executive Chef Kevin DiLibero and Sam Brown and Chris Brown from Wild Rhody. You can watch the entire segment below.

The Two Pauls

ANOTHER RESTAURANT FOR PAUL SHIRE

Paul Shire and business partner Paul Roidoulis, who opened The ROI earlier this year, will open a second restaurant to be called The Two Pauls at 315 Waterman Avenue in East Providence. For many years, that was the site of Joseph’s Family Restaurant and most recently Vine Yard East. The space is undergoing major reconstruction with the goal being a casual neighborhood restaurant “where everyone knows your name,” according to Shire. The menu will offer very good basic food including fish and chips and chicken pot pie. The new restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner, serving comfort food such as macaroni and cheese, meatloaf, and burgers as well as prime rib. Shire is promising his fans that The Two Pauls will offer great value, big portions, quick service for those on a schedule, and affordable wines at $5 a glass. The plan is to open in early to mid-October.

Providence Ranks Number Three on T+L’s America’s Best Cities for Foodies

Travel + Leisure magazine’s America’s Favorite Cities reader survey once again puts Providence in the top five, this time in the category of America’s Best Cities for Foodies. Highlighted in the posting were Chez Pascal, Nick’s on Broadway and RI seafood pioneers Trace and Trust. Previous top fives were in the categories Best Burgers and Best Coffee, among other favorites.

At this point my reaction to these titles seems to fall in the middle of a triangle with these three points:

  1. Thank you as always to Travel + Leisure readers
  2. Yes, that’s right: Providence. How is this still news to anyone?
  3. As lovely as the stock photo of Westminster Street is that Travel+Leisure keeps using to represent Providence in all these America’s Favorite Cities polls, it’s time for a new photo. There are plenty of beautiful photos of Providence out there.

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.
