BatchBlue staff favorite: La Laiterie

Whenever I’m asked for a good place to eat in Rhode Island, my first answer is always La Laiterie. The fact that it’s within walking distance from both my office and my home makes me feel extremely lucky. It seems like I can’t visit the place without finding a new favorite cheese (can you say “BatchBleu”?), beer, or entree. Their taste and attention to detail give me full confidence to try *anything* there and expect great results. Case in point, I’m not a big seafood eater, but the octopus I tried there on a recent visit was amazing!
All this would certainly be enough on its own to earn my nomination as a BatchBlue Staff Favorite, but it gets better. Chef Matt Jennings has been doing a fantastic job bringing this relatively non-technical business into the social media space via his Twitter account. You all know how much we love Twitter at BatchBlue, and every time Matt tweets it seems to make me hungry for some damn fine food. And I know where to get it!

For their commitment to excellence, I almost called them the Apple of food, until I realized that Apple Computer was already named after a food.

I proudly introduced Mr. Gillooly to said eatery and indeed it is always the first restaurant I recommend in RI. Another fav is the Mussels, oh, and the burger is my favorite in the state.
