I just heard from Seth Price that he's launched a site about local food culture - www.ProvidencePalate.com

Our goal was not to create another place for people to get hit with a one way information flow, but to start a dynamic, group conversation about food culture in Rhode island by all who are passionate about it. Based on that philosophy, we have set ProvidencePalate.com up as a social network, where members can interact, topic specific forums can be created and blossom, and content from comments and photos to videos can be posted by all. We will also have a featured content section for more in depth commentary.

The site is powered by Ning.com
