 Quahog.org > Cuisine CuisineWhether it's Awful Awful®s, cabinets, clam cakes, stuffies, coffee milk, dynamites, frozen lemonade, gaggas, johnnycakes, pizza strips, Rhode Island clear chowder, or simply eating in a diner, the cuisine makes Rhode Island memorable. Stock up on the antacid of your choice and dive right in! Awful Awful®sA drink made from flavored syrup, milk, and ice milk.  Newport Creamery (11 locations) "Awful Big, Awful Good!" "Drink three, get one free!" CabinetsA drink made from milk, syrup, and ice cream. Gray's Ice Cream (two locations) Mmmm... ginger cabinets! Lickety Splits Ice Cream and Sweet Shoppe (two locations) Sounds rude, tastes great! The clam shack trinityClam cakes are deep-fried dough mixed with chopped clams. A stuffed clam (or “stuffie”) is bread stuffing (bread crumbs, onions, spices) mixed with chopped clams and baked in a clam shell. Rhode Island clear chowder is an anemic broth made from clams, potatoes, bacon, onions, herbs, and spices, which is commonly mistaken for the dishwater that comes from cleaning up after New England clam chowder. Carrie's Seafood (two locations) Quahog heaven! Flo's Clam Shack (two locations) Home of the fiery stuffed quahog! Horton's Seafood (two locations) Clam shack chow without the seagulls! Coffee milkMilk mixed with coffee syrup. It’s the Rhode Island state drink. DinersA prefabricated structure, built in a factory, and transported to a location for food service. Diners were invented in Rhode Island, so we’re rather fond of them. DynamitesFried hamburger, peppers, onions, tomato sauce, and crushed red pepper, served on a torpedo roll. Like a sloppy Joe on crack. Frozen lemonadeGranulated ice flavored with lemons and sugar. The best part of summer. Del's (20 locations) "Stop at the sign of the lemon," "It's refreshingly different!" New England Frozen Lemonade and Refreshments (three locations) Rhode Island's other taste of summer! GaggasSmall hot dogs with a natural casing, slathered in mustard, meat sauce, chopped onions, and celery salt, and served in a steamed bun. Finding inconsistent spellings of “wiener” is part of the fun! Olneyville New York System (two locations) "R.I.'s Best Hot Wieners!" Johnnycakes (or Jonnycakes)Pancake-like disks made specifically from Rhode Island ground white flint corn. Asphalt roofing tiles, just like the settlers ate. Pizza stripsRectangular slices of crust slathered with spicy pizza sauce. They have no cheese and are properly served at room temperature. Calvitto's Pizza and Bakery (three locations) Pizza strips to die for! Crugnale Bakery and Pizza (five locations) "Quality baked bread since 1917." And pizza strips! DeFusco's Bakery (three locations) So many pizza strips, so little time! DePetrillo's Pizza and Bakery (four locations) "Delicious Fresh-Baked Goodness" © 1999–2008 Quahog.org (with the exception of elements provided by contributors, as noted). |
