Nordic lodge is the best place, my family is from Providence and I used to visit when I was a child. My fondest family memories of my grandfather took place at the big round table in the middle of the diner. Thank you for sharing this, I haven't been in over 15 years myself. Its time to visit! Rest in peace Grandpa!

I just read your thoughts on the oppression of Uyghurs, and I saw how other you tubers took down their video collaboration with you over your criticism of Chinese oppression. I haven't subscribed because I try and limit my consumption of food videos but have been watching your videos almost since the beginning. Years ago, you taught me how to make chilli oil which really changed my life for the better. so thank you. After seeing your voicing your opinions on Uyghurs, my respect for you has grown exponentially now. Thanks mike. may your tribe grow
