Dadekian has been called “RI’s unofficial Food Laureate” by Philip Eil of the Providence Phoenix, “mastermind of the food news website and event-organizing operation, Eat Drink RI, who seems to know every chef, restaurant, farm stand, and manufactured food product within state lines.” Dadekian created Eat Drink RI (EDRI) in 2010 and over the past ten years eatdrinkri.com has grown to be one of the top media, marketing and event production companies in the region for all things culinary. In addition to the annual 4-day Eat Drink RI Festival, EDRI produces a variety of dinner series, offers the widest free events calendar and job listings, covers local news about chefs, restaurants, and products, and works with a variety of non-profit organizations that support the local food sector. EDRI also produces several markets around the state, including weekly seasonal farmers markets in Smithfield, the Blackbird Farm Harvest Festival and the annual PVD Winter Lights Market in Kennedy Plaza with the City of Providence.
