I love food! To me, food offers comfort and security. In addition, cuisine is a cultural expression and represents an opportunity to more thoroughly understand and appreciate a particular culture or region. When traveling I make it a point to taste local specialties as a way of enriching my travel experience. Someone recently suggested that I share my favorite restaurants with my readers because of my great interest in food. Keep in mind that food preferences are very different from person to person and also that a restaurant experience is about so much more than the food.

Everybody loves a burger now and then, even though they are not the healthiest food to eat. Here are some of my favorite places to indulge in burgers in RI:

Chelo’s, various locations — traditional and always good

Crazy Burger, 144 Boon St, Narragansett, RI — different and unusual

Fat Belly’s, various locations — excellent burgers and great bar armosphere

Luxe, 5 Memorial Blvd, Providence, RI — design your own burger!
