It’s no secret that people in Rhode Island love and appreciate delicious food. A lesser known fact is that we love a great party — and what better combination of the two is there than Rhode Island Food Festivals and Events? This is by no means is an exhaustive food lovers list, because of course, you can always take a food tour. These eleven events are some of the Ocean State’s favorites and certainly ones that you should consider when planning your next trip to Rhode Island.

Motif Magazine - RI FOOD FIGHTS’ ITALIAN GRINDER THROWDOWN
In the northeast United States, a deli’s worth is usually placed upon how good their grinders are. Specifically Italian grinders, chock full of pepperoni, salami and capocollo, provolone and mozzarella cheese, lettuce, hot peppers and a tangy dressing. When it’s all together on sandwich bread it can be a deliciously beautiful thing. Last February, RI Food Fights put on their first ever Italian Grinder Throwdown that had numerous delis and restaurants from all over The Ocean State staking their claim as the best. On a score of 1-8 nom points, with 1 being the worst and 8 being the best, I decided to see who I think should win the competition.
