What are you talking about? I've been to 30 different cities and 4 countries. The food scene here is really good. Some amazing restaurants and food producers reside here. Johnson and Wales is a very highly regarded culinary school with many of their chefs staying and influencing the restaurants.

Below are some amazing Providence restaurants: Oberlin, Aguardente, Massimo, Slow Rhode, Chilangos, Los Andes, Slow Rhode, Nick's on Broadway, Broadway Bistro, Gracies, Aleppo Sweets, Jahunger, Bayberry, La Pinata, Rouge Island

We cultivate plenty of awesome local grocery items here too. Check out the new hope and main market.

Have you been to pizza Marvin, nice slice or Annas Vesuviano?

Even the food pop ups are next level here. Hanju kitchen, masa taqueria, trap box, etc

Sounds like you haven't explored Providence enough
