>Unbiased foodies would say Providence gives Boston a run for its money.

No, they won't lol.

These types of claims are ridiculous to me. Where do you come up with this? Who says this besides people on this subreddit? I've lived here almost 3 years and barely hear Providence natives make these claims.

Sad I have to explain this but apparently I do.

Cities like Providence fly under the radar of most people. How can you get an unbiased opinion of a city or it’s food scene if most people haven’t experienced it? Therefore “a lot of people don’t think that” doesn’t mean jack shit.

But the ones who know, know. And that includes a ton of food writers, celebrity chefs, and critics.

I mean I'm asking who actually says this and all you respond with is "it just is and people do." I've never seen anyone say the Providence food scene is on par with the Boston food scene except on this subreddit lol.

Not sure how to tell you this but “I’ve never seen” isn’t the flex you seem to think it is…

You have an opportunity to link something to back your claims. Otherwise you're just kinda speaking with unbacked authority.

Edit: bro replied then either blocked me or deleted the account? Interesting

Just google Providence food scene, plenty of articles from the globe, NYT, eater, Forbes etc. Travel and Leisure readers voted it the #1 food city in the country 5 or so years ago. I don’t think that’s true, but obviously it has a foodie reputation outside of the state.
