Did anyone notice three of our fabulous local restaurants in the Washington Post yesterday? Farmstead, Cook & Brown, and Persimmon all captured the heart of food critic Tom Sietsema when he was in town recently. He particularly gushes over the Mario Batali-beloved sandwiches at Farmstead, "the most amazing soup of my life" at Persimmon, and one Hannah Kirschner, bar manager and "secret ingredient" at Cook & Brown, but the entire jam-packed article is quite euphoric. Read it here and make a note on where to take the next food critic from a major city who visits you. Or to find Sietsema's one essential for opening a smashingly good Rhody restaurant of your own. (Hint: He or she is wearing your ring.)
