So I know I've been lax in postings lately, I have a ton of updates to make, but I wanted to post this one.
While kicking around town for the week on staycation - the hubs and I tooled around and decided to try some new restaurants in the area.
We finally made it to Crazy Burger in Narragansett - I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a year or so and was so excited we finally made it there.
What a great, fun, and delicious restaurant. Talk about the most varied menu I've ever seen. The breakfast selection was incredible, the burger options were insane, and I can't even begin to imagine making it through the whole menu it's so huge.
It's a great dining out option for vegans and vegetairans as well because the menu really does have nice options to cater to that lifestyle.
The Hubs and I ended up both having vegetraian options for lunch.
I had a walnut and lentil burger on a polenta patty and the hubs had a mushroom and rice burger with mushroom gravy. Their sweet potato fries are wonderful and the hubs highly recommended their asian cole slaw as well as a side.
We ended the meal with their Key Lime Raspberry Pie and it was decadent and surely home made with a wonderful graham cracker crushed crust.
We can't wait to go back and try the breakfast menu and other burger options - including the salmon burger, lamb burger and pizzas.
Their website for you to check them out if you're in the area is http://crazyburger.com/

Restaurant Review
Adam and I tried the new restaurant in Cranston last night - N'Joi. We had one of the Wicked Deal half price gift certificates to use for there and decided after our exhibit opening at the culinary musem that would be a fun place to go.
N'Joi
39 Phenix Ave in Cranston, RI.
WOW - had we not had the certificate we probably never would have tried it and I think we'll be back.
Great atmosphere inside, quaint, trendy, nice staff, you would never know you were in a strip mall restaurant.
The menu is small but has a nice variety and very unique dishes.
Everything is made to order and is made with a ton of TLC and thought to presentation, flavors, and textures.
The bread is fantastic, as is the roasted tomato oil to dip it in.
Try the Yellow Tail Fish Meatballs for an appetizer, you won't be disappointed.
Adam had the roasted duck breast which looked fantastic.
I had the sirloin steak with these awesome potato munchkins.
Prices are on the higher side - mine was $25, his was $27 - but you could easily go more affordable with a small plate item and a salad.
And when you leave you get a little take home mini cake to go - so cute!
We hope it makes it, there were not too many people in there last night - us and one other table. It really had some unique offerings and we were quite pleased - what a find!
We give it 3 out of 4 Stars

Did you know...
Cheesecake Factory now sells a bunch of their sauces and dressings? Oh yes! But they don't sell jars of their awesome penaut sauce!
So Friday when there with friends, we begged them to sell us 3 jars of the peanut sauce that is so good - and we found out they make is fresh each day with a blend of other sauces and herbs - but they still sold us 3 jars for 5 bucks a jar.
We finally finshed up the sauce last night - since there aren't any preservitives you have to eat it within 7 days (or freeze it) so we ate it! I served it with chicken cubes and a dipping sauce at my Lill party saturday night, we had it with noodles and chicken for leftover lunch, and last night on chicken thighs and rice. SO GOOD!
See if you can bum some off your local Cheesecake Factory today :)
