Round and Round We Go The story behind Crescent Park carousel Like rock-skipping and stargazing, carousels have entertained whole generations, and they never get old, no matter how many tokens you buy. We’re lucky to have preserved so many vintage carousels in the Ocean State, from the one in Providence’s Carousel Village to that of Atlantic Beach in Westerly. Every time you give that mare a whirl, just imagine how many thousands of people have saddled up before you. The history behind the making of these carousels can be just as interesting, especially those made by Charles Looff. Charles immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1870, and he spent
decades building roller coasters, Ferris wheels, and carousels. He was a master carver and crafted each horse by hand. Only around 50 such carousels were ever constructed, and two of them are still running in Rhode Island. Lucky for us, one of them resides in Crescent Park. The historic landmark from 1895 boasting 61 horses, one camel, and chances to reach for the brass ring! So next time you’re stocking up on fried seafood at Blount’s or admiring the view of the Providence River, why not give this rare roundabout a try? -Robert Isenberg

You can easily lose yourself in Trees of Tiverton, a new mural at the Tiverton Public Library. You stand in a sunny room, examining this mosaicked landscape of a forest at night. You observe the tiny ceramic pieces, which fit meticulously together into a colorful whole. You admire the 26 trees, then notice that the “tree bark” is composed of 2,000 human faces – self-portraits sculpted by actual locals. The mural is dense with codes and messages, enough to warrant an official scavenger hunt. Then you glance at your watch and realize that ten minutes have passed. It’s just that mesmerizing. The Tiverton Library commissioned two such murals, created by ceramic artists Mika Seeger and Peter Geisser. The murals were revealed at a ceremony in June: Trees of Tiverton, which faces the main circulation desk, and Tiverton Alphabet, a dreamy parade of letters, images, Braille dots, and hyper-local references. Mika and Peter are prolific, and their public art projects can be spotted all around Rhode Island, including installations at Hasbro Children’s Hospital, India Point Park playground,
and the Rhode Island Youth Development Facility in Cranston. In the late 1990s, Mika created a similar mural in the old Essex Library. But five years ago, the Tiverton Library was under construction – replacing the Essex location – and builders decided that the older mural was too difficult to move. Instead, the Tiverton Library Foundation requested two new works. “They wanted to bring the old into the new,” says Catherine Damiani, director of the Tiverton Library. Mika and Peter hosted a series of art classes, and thousands of pieces were sculpted by everyday Tiverton residents and fired in Mika’s kiln. “At the ceremony, the youngest person in attendance put in the last piece for Tiverton Alphabet,” adds Catherine, “and the oldest person put in the last piece for Trees of Tiverton.” The Tiverton Library is the newest branch in the Ocean State Libraries system, and it shows: The structure is a sprawling white building with an arched entryway and clock tower; every inch is spotless. Rows of trees hide the structure from the main road. Tucked into such a bucolic setting, these murals look right at home. TivertonLibrary.org -Robert Isenberg

In 2015, the Rhode Island Department of Health identified communities across the state with recognized health disparities. They created Health Equity Zones (HEZ) to promote healthy lifestyles, assure healthy child development, and create environments
where healthy choices are easier to make. And though the Town of Bristol has many social services and community-based organizations, it also faces a unique challenge: suicide prevention. “The Mount Hope Bridge sees its share

of persons attempting to and completing suicide, and we wanted to present local, close-to-home initiatives and solutions to help those in our community,” says Lieutenant Steven St. Pierre of the Bristol Police Department. Bristol’s former Parks and Recreation Director Walter Burke initially proposed posting a suicide prevention resource sign at the Mount Hope Bridge. That proposal prompted the first meeting of the Bristol HEZ Suicide Prevention Group in the fall of 2017. “From that initial idea, the group began meeting regularly and wanted to do a more broad-based community approach to suicide prevention in addition to the sign,” says Emily Spence, Bristol HEZ Coordinator. Suicide and treatment for mental illness is a consistent problem in many towns that often goes unaddressed, notes Lieutenant St. Pierre, who works closely with the group. To open up the conversation and offer education, the Suicide Prevention Group has reached out to the community, young and old, in a myriad of ways, to spread their message, provide resources, and offer hope. They have distributed nearly 1,500 “Don’t Give Up” bracelets, dispersed more than 200 “Don’t Give Up” lawn signs, and have offered mental health first aid training — and that represents just some of their work. Then in May, the group’s original mission was finally achieved when they saw two permanent signs mounted on either side of the bridge, each of which provide critical, life-saving resources to anyone in need of help, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “It was challenging in the beginning, but after a series of meetings involving various stakeholders in the community, we were able to get the signs posted with the support of the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (TBA),” says Emily. And this may be just the beginning, she adds, as RITBA considers the idea of the signs becoming a model in the state for other bridge communities. -Andrea E. McHugh

A not-so-average history book takes you back to the state’s Golden Age
Did Rhode Island have a Golden Age? If so, when was it? If you ask Dr. Patrick T. Conley, those halcyon days lasted nearly half a century, from 1861 to 1900, when Ocean State soldiers, reformers, architects, and industrialists helped leave a permanent mark on the national character. These
are the very people he profiles in his new book, The Leaders of Rhode Island’s Golden Age, released in May from The History Press under Arcadia Publishing. “Rhode Island played a leadership role in America’s Industrial Revolution,” Dr. Conley posits in the book’s preface. “The

$549,900 state’s prosperity was revealed in its 1880 federal census when it ranked first in the nation in the valuation of its assessed real and personal property holdings, with a figure nearly triple the national average.” Yet Leaders is more than a rote economics lesson. Sponsored by the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame, the book chronicles the achievements of 123 influential Rhodies from the latter half of the 19th century. The book starts with Civil War veterans – or “Defenders of the Union” – and proceeds with business leaders, statesmen, artists, and athletes, among other categories. The 256 pages are rich in dates and achievements, as well as archival portraits; if Arcadia Publishing sounds familiar, they are best known for publishing the sepia-toned “Images of America” series. The book is a follow-up to Conley’s previous books, Rhode Island’s Founders and The Makers of Modern Rhode Island, which document movers and shakers from the state’s earliest years – in many cases, before we were technically a state. A Bristol resident, Dr. Conley holds a PhD from Notre Dame and a JD from Suffolk University Law School, and he’s served as a professor at Providence College, practiced law, and owned a real estate development business. His first book, about Catholicism in Rhode Island, was published in 1976, and he’s churned out 28 additional titles since. He’s chaired a range of organizations, including the Rhode Island Heritage Commission, which he also founded. Not surprisingly, Dr. Conley himself was inducted into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame in 1995; he now serves as president of that same organization. All this begs the question: If he continues to write such exhaustive local histories, will he one day face the task of writing about himself? We can only hope so, if only to see what he says.

Barrington’s Portia Gaitskell will be well prepared when she arrives at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Harold W. Pierce Boat House this month. After all, she just spent a rigorous year of rowing with the Sydney University Boat Club in Australia. With encouragement from her parents to take a gap year – a common practice in their native England when students take the year off between high
school and university to work or pursue an interest – the 2018 Lincoln School graduate deferred her college acceptance (and with it a spot on the Division I Varsity Rowing team) to set off and experience Aussie life on the water. Now at MIT, Portia will balance her studies in electrical engineering and computer science with competition on Cambridge’s iconic Charles River.

Huge selection of yarn, books, patterns, needles, notions and buttons.
My parents had floated the idea of taking a gap year. My dad didn’t take one and wished he had. He thinks you are much more productive at college if you have had time to take a break and reflect on why you are going to college in the first place. The summer before my senior year, I saw my aunt in the UK who was visiting from Australia where she lives and invited me to come for the year. At the time, I was really getting into rowing and I thought I would look into that. I rowed with the Sydney University Boat Club. You can row for a university there without going to the school. It’s like a boat club, so students from high schools and other universities all row together. It was a huge step up in the training. I was used to training once a day, sometimes twice during the season, rowing maybe 12 kilometers. In Sydney, we trained two times a day, Monday through Friday, and three times a day on Saturday. It was single skulling. My first day we did a 20k row in the morning, which was okay, then in the afternoon we went to the gym and did another 20k on the erg, a stationary rower. It hit me pretty hard. At States [for North South Wales] I raced in the U21 single and came fifth overall, and also raced a U21 coxed four and we came second by less than a second. For Nationals, I did a bunch of races. The best ones to race were definitely the U23 pair as there were no great expectations for me and my partner who was coming out of injury and we hadn’t been rowing together very long, but we were able to make the A final and come sixth overall. I am definitely stronger because of the experience. It is so therapeutic to be on the water. When it’s flat and the sun is coming up, there is nothing better.

Vanilla Vanilla East Bay craft creameries serve up the inside scoop on artisanal ice cream By Megan Schmit
R
hode Islanders love their ice cream. It’s a nostalgic part of summertime, right alongside Del’s and days at the beach. Everyone has their favorite spot, whether it's an old-fashioned creamery or hip new pop-up. If you're craving creative or classic, in a cone or in a cup, the East Bay has no shortage of places. However, not all ice cream is created equal. Craft ice cream is, essentially, a trendy term for handmade, which in itself might not seem like any sort of phenomenon. In fact, for a long time, that’s exactly what ice cream was when you got it scooped into a waffle cone or dropped into a float at a soda fountain. Gray’s Ice Cream, based in Tiverton and with a satellite location
in Bristol, began back in 1923 when Annie Gray started making and selling ice cream churned from local milk. Today, while most eateries save money and time buying the pre-made stuff from a supplier, Gray’s has continued to create their tried-and-true flavors from scratch. And thanks to a flourishing craft food and beverage scene, they find themselves in good company. The growing interest in what’s in our food – whether it’s the hops in our beer or beef in our burgers – has combined with a nurturing small-business community to create the perfect scenario for artisan ice creameries to emerge. We dig in – with questions and a spoon – to learn more about these local scoops.
The Daily Scoop
or Bob and Deb Saunders, owners of The Daily Scoop, homemade ice cream has been their business for two decades. Bob was a mechanic and gas station owner, and Deb was a young attorney. They had boated around New England and fell in love with the old-fashioned ice cream shops in Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, and decided to bring the experience home to Barrington. They bought the building, then took classes at Penn State and University of Maryland – “a little backwards, I know!” Deb admits – to learn how to make ice cream. It’s not an easy process, Deb reveals. As we speak, she references the flats of Georgia peaches waiting to be cleaned, pitted, and pureed to make the shop’s Fresh Peach flavor. The ice cream is made daily, with fresh fruit, pure extracts and cocoas, and vanilla. “Using the best ingredients is hard because right from the start you’re more expensive than the rest,” she says, “but it’s what we’re about and committed to.”
The Daily Scoop offers “too many flavors to mention” but Deb says they try to stick close to tradition, evoking the homemade dessert of their childhood. There are fruity ones made with pumpkin, cantaloupe, and wild Maine blueberries. There’s plenty for the chocoholics, like Kahlua Fudge Brownie, Mocha Chip, and classic Chocolate made from their own cocoa paste. They also make ice cream cakes, shakes, and sundaes, and sugar-, dairy-, and fat-free varieties. “It seems that people care now, more than ever, about what they eat and what they put into their bodies,” Deb muses. “If it’s going to be ice cream, make it great ice cream made with great stuff.” After 20 years and an additional store in Bristol, Deb and her husband reflect on the popularity of craft ice cream, insisting that people care about things made locally not just because it’s something they can trust, but it’s something they can support: “People get why it’s good for their community and their quality of life.”

Three craft ice cream makers share their favorite flavors
Chelsea of Chelsea’s Creamery: Out of all the flavors I create, Coffee Oreo will always be my favorite…how can I own an ice cream shop in Rhode Island and not be obsessed with anything coffee flavored?! Deb of The Daily Scoop: One of my personal favorites is banana peanut butter cup. On our last day of ice cream manufacturing class at Penn State, we had free reign to make whatever we wanted and our ingredient table was left with peanut butter and bananas. We knew it was a keeper! Customers asked us to add peanut butter cups and they were spot-on!
Fresh-made waffle cones at The Daily Scoop
Victoria of Vic’s Craft Ice Cream: My answer will vary from day-to-day. Yesterday, when it was sunny and hot out, I was really feeling Lemon-Blossom. Today, it's a little overcast and I'm craving a scoop of Sweet & Salty. But surprisingly, my all-time favorite is vanilla with rainbow sprinkles.
Chelsea’s Creamery
Chelsea’s popular Cookie Monster ice cream
n 2003, The Daily Scoop expanded into Bristol. In 2012, The Ice Cream Barn in Swansea, Massachusetts, started serving fresh-churned ice cream made from milk from Baker Farm that’s pasteurized in Johnston. Then, over the last yearand-a-half, the pace has picked up with the swift establishment of two new craft creameries in the East Bay alone. “People know there’s a lot behind that scoop of ice cream,” Chelsea DaSilva, owner of Chelsea’s Creamery in Warren, starts, “the time put in to make each flavor, with just the right ingredients giving it the best quality. They also understand that with the homemade product there is a bit of a price difference… but it’s worth it, because not only are they getting something fresh and local, but they are also helping support that small business owner’s dream.” Chelsea started working at an ice cream parlor when she was 15. “The people, the small town atmosphere, the ice cream, I couldn’t get enough
of it,” she reminisces. After 11 years, starting her own seemed like the natural next step. So, last May, she opened Chelsea’s Creamery – which offers 30 flavors, a brick-and-mortar shop plus two trailers that pop-up at farmer’s markets and Newport Polo, and a short-but-busy season between May and October. “When you get a scoop of homemade ice cream, you know that the quality is there,” Chelsea explains. “You know there is a person standing behind the machine making sure each batch of ice cream has every ounce of flavor and extra piece of cookie or chocolate chip it needs.” Chelsea makes traditional favorites like Black Raspberry, Coffee, and Pistachio, but conjures fun combos like Almond Joy, Chocolate Brownie, and the ever-popular Cookie Monster – blue-tinted vanilla ice cream layered with crushed Chips Ahoy and Oreos. But of course, that’s just a fraction of what you’ll find, as Chelsea is always concocting new weekly and monthly specials. Photos by Ashley Sanford, courtesy of Chelsea’s Creamery
t makes me proud to feed people my ice cream because we make it from scratch, in small batches, and it’s served usually within a few days of being made,” shares Victoria Young, the East Bay’s most recent addition to the artisanal ice cream scene. “The flavors I create are also so totally different from what you might find at other ice cream shops or on the shelves at supermarkets.” The Johnson & Wales graduate began making her own ice cream in the summer of 2017. This led to the establishment of Providence’s Fountain & Co., a one-woman pop-up serving from-scratch frozen desserts around the city. But in May of this year, she traded wheels for roots, and Vic’s
Craft Ice Cream opened its doors to serve Victoria’s ice cream, sherbert, and sorbet to Barrington. The menu boasts a little bit more than your average creamery, including iced coffee from The Nitro Cart on tap and baked goods. “I want Vic’s to be known as a gathering place for families, couples, friends, and explorers,” she says, “a community for my fellow ice cream lovers.” The nature of handcrafted ice cream is that it allows for spontaneity and creativity, and Vic’s rotating menu certainly exemplifies that. “Inspiration comes from anywhere and everywhere,” she says. “Sometimes a flavor is fueled by an ingredient. Other times something in pop culture sparks an idea for a flavor. Or a friend making a sug-
gestion for something they thought may taste good.” The result? Funky flavors like Beach Rose & Raspberry, Coffee Milk Stout (a partnership with Narragansett Brewery), and Rhubarb Crumble (made with Four Town Farm’s rhubarb). Even the “classics,” as Victoria puts it, are made non-traditionally, like a dairy-free Dark Chocolate Truffle that’s still “creamy and fudgy as heck.” “The craft food trend is widespread so I'm sure there are tons of emerging businesses in this category across the country, but I'm continuously blown away by the volume of new craft food and beverage companies starting up in this little state,” says Victoria. “It's a beautiful thing to witness and be a part of.”

When Helena Silva was pregnant with her first-born, a search for a non-toxic, eco-friendly diaper bag lead only to products made from PVC. Disheartened, Helena sought an alternative. Having grown up in Portugal and around cork, she began to consider the material mostly known for wine stoppers and bulletin boards for totes and more. “I was familiar with cork and knew of its amazing properties” begins Helena, which include being naturally flame retardant, water repellant, allergy-friendly, lightweight, and renewable. “Only the bark of the tree gets extracted and then it regenerates making it one of the most sustainable natural materials.” Today, under the Bent & Bree brand, Helena has founded a luxury line of handbags and accessories all handcrafted with genuine cork.

Life & Style HOME
by Elyse Major
Island Park Getaway
Trina and Thorp Foster work in Boston and live in Wellesley, and had always been on the lookout for a summer home without a harried commute. Thoughts generally drifted to Cape Cod, where they’d always vacationed with their sons, until friends landed in Jamestown and opened their eyes to the beauty of the Ocean State. The pair began exploring and found a Modern Cape-style home in Portsmouth right on the Sakonnet River. Trina and Thorp were immediately drawn in by the property’s unobstructed views of the water; however, the interior was dark and dreary. “We could see that lightening it up and opening up the sight lines would maximize

GET RHODY STYLE Give your home a vacation vibe all year-round with these takeaways from Trina’s decor sensibilities.
COASTAL CHIC Be coastal without being overtly beachy. “I tried to evoke the breeziness of the beach by bringing the outside colors in with soft blues, whites, creams, and grays,” says Trina. STOCK UP Fill the fridge with locally made provisions like cheeses from Narragansett Creamery and wines from Greenvale Vineyard and Newport Vineyard.
Dave Meegan got to work with the main goal of making natural light a priority. The house is made up of three relatively narrow levels, with the family room and kitchen on the second story. DBC opened up a wall between the two rooms and changed a window into French doors. An entirely new kitchen with custom cabinetry and lighting was also added. “The before and after is pretty dramatic,” says Trina. “DiStefano Brothers Construction have been wonderful to work with.” With the structural work behind them, Trina got busy making her imprint in a style she describes as comfortable luxury with a clean aesthetic. “The key is to keep it simple,” begins Trina. “I like rooms to feel cohesive and relate to one another. I’m also not afraid to pick my spots to be bold. Smaller
spaces, provide a great opportunity to punch up the drama. I chose a gold-andblack geometric wallpaper in our powder room. A friend recently opened the door and said, ‘this is so Trina!’” Signature elements of Trina’s decor also include pairing durable fabrics with interesting furniture shapes and textures. She prefers to use soft tones that don’t overwhelm a space. “A house has to function for the people who use it and that’s always what guides my design,” she explains. “A place that makes you want to kick your shoes off and curl up with a glass of wine and a great book. I wanted to make it feel like summer all year round, and I think we achieved that. Even on cold or rainy days, the house makes you feel like you’re on a sweet vacation.”
AROUND TOWN The Fosters list Thriving Coffee House, The Red Dory, The Boat House, and Graziano’s 501 Cafe as trusty go-tos. They recently met Jeff Soderbergh (JeffSoderbergh.com), who creates custom sustainable furnishings from his Newport studio, and has plans to open a space in Portsmouth.

Summertime at
My personal style is mostly classic with a twist. As a creative person who is often on the go, I tend to wear practical work-wear – flats, a pair of denim, and a blouse or a button-up shirt. When I need to add some polish, I throw on lipstick and jewelry. My favorite thing to wear is probably linen pieces in the summer and cashmere in the winter. I’m all about high-quality, natural fabrics that are breathable and hold up over time. I’m probably a little too addicted to my green army jacket; it has two cargo pockets in the front and when I’m on the go I can stuff them with stone samples, Chapstick, my phone, etc. When it comes to shopping, I enjoy Anthropologie a lot – they always have something fun. Lately, I’ve been into AYR for their high-quality wardrobe staples. We’ve been in Rhode Island for a little over six years now and it’s always just been our offices. We started having more requests for appointments to shop in our studio, so we decided it was time for a proper retail space. Newport is the perfect location as it’s a bustling community with so much rich history. We make all of our jewelry in Rhode Island, so I love that I’m able to do that here. I love connecting with the community and working with local businesses. Rhode Islanders are very supportive of other small businesses, which I love and find so important. I live for summer here. I love Sweet Berry Farm in Middletown for picking apples, blackberries, and raspberries; and lobster rolls at the Boat House in Tiverton, they have the most spectacular display of hydrangeas in the summer!

Food & Drink EXPERIENCE

An Italian Delight Newport’s Washington Square comes alive with Bar ‘Cino A new restaurant smack in the center of Newport is bound to make us nosy. Once there was a name to associate with the striking yellow exterior, we just had to go in. Bar ‘Cino is the Italian-American bar you thought it would be, and it’s really fun. Bar ‘Cino continues the revitalization of Washington Park. For a time in Newport, the only place to grab a drink on this square was at Stoneacre Brasserie and Jane Pickens Theater, where dark ‘n stormys were sipped with a Maggie Smith movie alongside the white-hair brigade. The heart of Newport wasn’t exactly pounding.
Bar ‘Cino keeps the bar front, back, and center, splitting the room lengthwise into equal parts long dining room, long bar, and long open kitchen. The menu is set up for sharing, with enough snacks that you don’t need to be dining. The wine list is Italian-focused, with lots of by-the-glass and half glasses to taste. The cocktail list was summery, with plenty of Italian flair, and the small draught list only has a touch of Italy. Close to the far end of the bar, I thought we had the best seat in the house. As we split our bottle of Verdicchio ($40) we watched pizza char and pasta get sauced. We began
with a fairly modest arugula and cannellini bean salad ($10), as well as a fig, goat cheese, and prosciutto bruschetta ($14). The bruschetta is something you order knowing exactly what it should taste like. It didn’t disappoint. The prosciutto was shaved razor-thin in delicate little mounds. As we munched and watched the kitchen,

our hunger grew. Head Chef Mariana Gonzalez hustled about, with an ever-present smile and no signs of stress. An open bar is a double-edged sword for chefs. Mariana was made for it though, having a chat here and there, gathering feedback with a smile. This is a very personal, open kitchen, for a very personable chef. Her team was well-oiled and clearly enjoying working with her as well, making for a very pleasant, bustling scene. Mariana’s not just a cheerful face though. We had the roast salmon in a bright red pepper sauce, but without the boot-leather treatment the other customer requested. The only thing that went back was an empty plate ($22). We learned it was her first job as head chef, having moved from The Mooring. “That’s why I’m smiling all the time,” she said. My paccheri ($17) made me smile. Everything about this dish drove in one unified direction. Roasted chicken, pulled rustically into chunks with big paccheri pasta, nothing dainty. There was a bold bang with the in-season broccoli rabe and a few whole cherry tomatoes. The glue holding everything together was the char. Flecks of smoky fish swam in the sauce, creating a layering of flavors with overwhelmingly earthy, pro-

vincial feel. It was at once very warming and also undeniably a bite of summer. Next, we had a pistachio ricotta cream layer cake ($8) and a scoop of salted caramel gelato ($4). I adore pistachios, and despite the light texture of this cake, the flavor was rich and nutty. The dessert should have been our send-off. But, compliments of the chef, an errant pizza suddenly appeared on the bar, alongside some shears, to split with our neighbors. The anticipated indigestion and inexperience with pizza scissors aside, we enthusiastically dove in. The pizza was the perfect combination of chewy and crispy. We’ll definitely be back for more.

Count Your Chickens A popular Fall River takeout place will soon open a sit-down restaurant in Warren If you’re driving through Fall River and happen to pass Mister Chicken, you might think it’s a fast-food joint. The mascot is a cartoon chicken with folded wings and sunglasses. Two carved birds flank the entryway. The very name “Mister Chicken” sounds like a suburban chain, where drumsticks are ordered in buckets. But Mister Chicken is full of surprises. The bilingual menu is packed with Portuguese specialties, from kale soup to octopus stew. The shelves are lined with small grocery items and even a few antiques. Half takeout place, half market, Mister Chicken offers a wealth of sandwiches, seafood, and, yes, chicken dishes. Soon, owner Humberto Correia will open a second Mister Chicken in Warren. The new kitchen will serve similar fare,
with two key differences: There will be a dining room with places to sit, and the new Mister Chicken recently secured a liquor license. The Fall River location offers catering services and family-sized meals, but the building doesn’t have so much as a chair for customers awaiting their takeout orders. A full restaurant with waitstaff will be a major shift. At press time, Humberto was buried in paperwork, but he expected the new venue to open by the end of the month. Warren already has a few Portuguese eateries but Mister Chicken should be a nice fast-casual addition. Portuguese cuisine is also known for its desserts, and fans can never get enough sweet rice, fried dough, or fine puddings. In other words, chicken is just the start. Warren, Mister-Chicken.com

If that question is your daily dinnertime pre-game, you need to listen to Dinner Sisters, a podcast that Providence resident Kate Schulz hosts with her Atlanta-based sister Betsy Wallace. “Betsy would always call me at around five o’clock and say, ‘I have ground beef, one onion, and a head of lettuce, what can I make?’ and I would feed her some recipes.” They turned Betsy’s dinner woes into a podcast to help inspire other home cooks. Kate, a vociferous reader of food blogs, trolls the internet to find three recipes within their capabilities as home cooks to feature in each episode. “Two of the three must be weeknight recipes, something you can whip up quickly and painlessly after work.” The sisters make the dinners and then talk about their experiences for the podcast – the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly. “Betsy always thought she was a bad cook,” says Kate. “But she isn’t a bad cook. She was just using bad recipes.” Kate explains that a good recipe includes flavorful ingredients in classic ratios and
proportions as well as clear directions. “You would be shocked at how many recipes use weird ratios or have directions that miss entire steps.” Kate and Betsy have adventurous palates – as do Betsy’s three kids – so the offerings range from the simple, like sprucing up a store-bought
rotisserie chicken, to dishes with more complex flavor notes like massaman curry. Say the sisters, “We just want to help people figure out what the heck to have for dinner.” Find Dinner Sisters podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. DinnerSisters.com. -Karen Greco

Evelyn’s Drive-In is a Rhody tourist destination. And why wouldn’t it be? Everything from the legendary clam cakes to the satisfying “crunch” the parking lot clam shells make as they break beneath your tires screams summer fun. This year, the Tiverton hotspot turns 50, and owners Jane and Domenic Bitto want to reflect on half a century of food, history, and community. The couple acquired Evelyn’s (fondly known as Eve’s to the owners) after Domenic accidentally happened upon the clam shack. Originally from Massachusetts, Domenic was driving in Rhode Island and took the wrong exit to Tiverton. On a whim, he pulled into the drive-in and overheard one of the waitresses talking about how the restaurant was up for sale. And although Domenic and Jane had
no formal restaurant training, the two decided to buy the place. “Dom’s parents were in the pizza business, and they encouraged us to purchase a restaurant,” says Jane. Domenic’s parents were as Jane describes them “old world,” and wanted for their children a marriage, kids of their own, and a business. For Jane and Domenic, Evelyn’s was a start. Thirty-two years later, the business is still up and running, a testament, Jane explains, to the recipes handed down from Evelyn (the original owner) herself. “We do our damnedest to put out awesome quality” Jane asserts. The establishment uses fresh products sourced directly from New England waters (Maine and Massachusetts) and the cooks are sure to change the frying oil every day. Ask the owners what the

secret is to their fluffy clam cakes, and you’ll learn it’s not-so-secret. The concoction is a simple mix of high quality chopped clams, Drum Rock Fritter and Clam cake mix, and hot water. Mix them all together and fry at 325 degrees and you have it. Her staff too, are a part of the lifeblood that keeps Evelyn’s going. They’ve become a family – quite literally. Jane remarks that if you’re from Tiverton, you’ve probably worked at her place. Many of the waitresses working at the East Bay institution have children and grandchildren who work in the back of house as well. Even the Bittos’ children have worked at

the restaurant for a stint. The couple truly love the work that they do, and it shows when they interact with their customers. “So many people I meet have had grandparents, parents, family members, etc. that have had an experience at Evelyn’s that has become a fond memory”, says Jane. If business keeps going strong, who knows? Maybe the eatery will be around for 50 more years.
RECIPE FOR ONE BATCH OF CLAM CAKES AT EVELYN’S : • 3lb of high quality chopped clams • 5lb drum rock fritter and clam cake mix • 3 cups of hot water Directions: Mix the ingredients together. Once the dough has come together, use a size 30 scooper to make the perfect shape. Drop into your fryer at 325 degrees.
