Big King 8.2.2019 III
R.I.P. Big King (2018 - 2022)
Luongo Square, Federal Hill - Providence, Rhode Island
I'll never forget the way this restaurant - called Big King - described itself on its website. Which is fortunate, because the restaurant and website are now gone. The description read:
"Small, weird restaurant serving food that's raw, grilled over charcoal, and fried in small batches."
That's it. Nothing more in the way of a description.
Big King could afford to be enigmatic, though, because its chef-owner, James Mark, won a James Beard Award the year before he opened it. The restaurant achieved legendary status locally and garnered national acclaim in its brief existence. Based on my sole visit here in 2019, I'd say the accolades were well-deserved.
