Providence’s Little Sister Gets High Praise From Jamie Lee Curtis

Hollywood A-Lister Jamie Lee Curtis has been calling Providence, Rhode Island home for the past few months as she films her latest movie Ella McCay. During her stay, she has been spotted in and out of boutiques and eateries, but for the most part, she has kept a relatively low profile.

Her latest venture took her to the corner of Hope Street and Rochambeau Avenue, where a Puerto Rican restaurant impressed her so much, that she decided to share her experience with her 5.7 million followers.

Straight from her phone and onto the grid was a mouth-watering photo of Curtis’s plate—a mountain of food, several layers of flavory goodness, and a touch of greens for good measure.

Milena Pagan, the chef and owner of Little Sister, was thrilled to get recognition from Curtis.

"We sincerely appreciate the recognition from everyone who has good taste, celebrity or not," she joked. "This was her second visit. We knew she was coming ahead of time but no special accommodations were requested or needed, she's a very friendly and easy guest."

Pagan shared that Curtis went with the “most popular and unique brunch dish” called the Mofongo Benedict.

“We replaced the English muffin with a smashed plantain patty that gets fried for a crispy outside and soft inside,” said the restaurant. “The Canadian bacon gets replaced with pernil, or Puerto Rican style roasted pork shoulder that gets shredded and braised overnight in its own juices. Add some caramelized onions, some achiote hollandaise sauce and some crispy cuerito crackling…this is on a whole ‘nother level as far as brunch is concerned!”
