This Rhode Island Restaurant Serves A TV Dinner That’s To Die For
Many of us have childhood memories of being handed a TV dinner on a tray, the different components of which had turned to indistinguishable mush in the oven or microwave. That said, there was something comforting about the tray with its little compartments – and the always-included dessert. One Rhode Island restaurant has taken the nostalgia of the TV dinner and turned it into a truly gourmet meal, one suitable for a date night rather than a night in front of the TV.
The Shanty in Warwick doesn't look fancy on the outside, but a simple exterior hides an extremely charming restaurant that turns out amazing food.
With buttermilk fried Cornish game hen, smoke cheddar mac and cheese, slaw, a seasonal vegetable such as corn on the cob or sweet potato mash, and a dessert special, this dinner is sure to satisfy all your cravings.
Another perk of a grown-up TV dinner? You can enjoy it with a refreshing adult beverage. Your parents definitely wouldn't have gone for that when you were a kid!
