Born in Blackstone
There are some hyper-local culinary traditions that come from right here in the Blackstone Valley. One of the most widely known is “family-style chicken” - a meal that includes endless baked chicken, pasta with marinara, salad, french fries, and rolls. Served on big plates for everyone at your table to share, this meal draws busloads of diners to Wright’s Farm Restaurant in Burrillville.
Did you know that the state drink, coffee milk - a sweet drink similar to chocolate milk but with coffee syrup instead - was first created here in Lincoln? You can get it today at many places across the state including New York Lunch in Woonsocket. While there, try a "Dynamite". This sandwich of ground beef, tomatoes and spices also originates here in Blackstone Valley.
