United BBQ | Providence

Whoa. Warm comfy BBQ in a no-frills chrome plated small eatery. Just what us cold New Englanders need on a regular basis to get through our lousy long winters. I had beef brisket sandwich with side of beans - the beef - super juicy bone-licking good and served with their homemade sweet potato chips which I dipped into the beans and washed down with a swig of Dr. Pepper. Wow. I'm hooked and bringing a to-go menu home.

Luxe Burger Bar | Providence

Burgers burgers burgers. What's more simpler than a burger for lunch? At Luxe though it ain't so easy. They've got a do-it-yourself selection menu and a few innovative predetermined combinations for u to sink your teeth into. I had "the Pepe" (photo) - beef, cheese, jalapenos, pastrami, lettuce, tomato...oh my. Open wide. They're big, messy and tasty. Good lunch destination. You'll need a nap after though. :-)

The Red Stripe | Providence

Brunch on a weekend morning is a special time under most circumstances and at this Providence bistro it's even better. The Red Stripe is like New York's Balthazar's but RI style - a touch of bohemia thrown in courtesy of renown restaurant owner Jamie D'Olivera. This morning I opted for poached eggs over pulled barbecue pork hash - eggness perfectly prepared and tasty as hell.

Another great dish we tried was codfish cakes with poached eggs - all accompanied with awesome breakfast toast and some of the finest bloody marys in town.

Funky menu with an inviting attitude makes Sunday morning fun at this cozy bistro.
