Off to Rhode Island

Eating L.A. is going down east to taste some johnnycakes, stuffies, clamcakes, frozen lemonade, cabinets, New York System weiners, lobster rolls and more Rhode Island specialties. Back soon with a special Rhode Island edition -- apparently the red tide hasn't hit there, fortunately for my clam consumption. Also coming up, the definitive analysis of locally-made ice creams and gelatos.
