Your Taste Buds are Calling

The Stop & Shop Taste of Rhode Island is almost a week away!  So a quick reminder that the discounted advanced ticket price of $8 ends tomorrow, Friday, September 25th.  For only $8, you have access to continuous live entertainment and all of our festival happenings - culinary demonstrations and pairings by local chefs, games, contests and prize, children’s activities, and the opportunity to meet your favorite local cookbook authors.

For only $8! That’s 8 singles, a fiver and 3 ones, a $10 bill with $2 in change, a quick swipe of the debit card, or 700 pennies and a Sacagawea - start digging in those couch cushions!

And have you heard who is going to be there?  Fantastic restaurants all serving up Rhode Island staples, from cannolis to clam cakes and Del’s to dogs (saugy dogs, that is).

Seagulls are infamous for their “unconventional” eating habits, but not this bird.  Rather than swoop in and steal, I’ll be lining up with other true Rhody revelers to see what’s on our menu. One thing we’ll be sure to get a hearty helping of - pride in our home state!  So stop on by, we hope to see you there!
