True confession time: I like to look at pictures of food.  There, I said it.  It's true and I'm not sorry.  Looking at delicious, beautifully plated food makes me happy.  **sigh**

Fact: The Ocean State is a food lover's paradise.  From hip and trendy to family-style, Rhode Island restaurants serve up mouth-watering epicurean delights that will make your taste buds weep with joy! 

And now, I cordially  invite you to take a yummy 5 Minute Break with me and gaze longingly at the edible masterpieces that people are eating around the state...

Doesn't that food look AMAZING? Seriously, if your stomach is not shouting "FEED ME!" right now, you are clearly a robot.

The beginning of the week is a perfect time to make plans to visit one (or more!) of Rhode Island's fantastic restaurants this weekend and take some food pics of your own. Just make sure you tag them #RhodeIsland so we can see them and drool over them too!
