My weekly food views… A second lunch at Cache, the first since the restaurant’s opening week, was steeped in mediocrity. While the dinner menu looks to be somewhat adventurous, the lunch options of salads, sandwiches and pizzas seem a tad mundane. My turkey melt was good, not great, and certainly nothing so amazing as to inspire a […]

I recently posted a question on The Mighty Rib Facebook page asking readers to share their first restaurant memory. The response was tremendous and the answers varied, as you’ll see below, making for a truly entertaining thread. So much so I wanted to compile them all together for a post. Think back for a moment

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it

My weekly food views… Truth be told, I damn near wrote off Natchez after a subpar and expensive dinner last year during the holidays. Two excellent meals in the past few weeks have changed that line of thinking, the latest being a plate of perfectly fried quail with faro and stewed okra. This dish exemplified

It’s Hump Day…that brutal day in the middle of the week that puts only 2 weekdays behind you, and that painful push through Thursday and Friday ahead of you. And to top it all off, you’re hungry. There you are, sitting at your lonely desk at 10:30 am, plugging away in front of some dreary,

One of the benefits of going out to eat is the chance to try something new. It is when chefs push the envelope is when I learn the most. The good news is that we can create the same kind of experience for our guests when we entertain. We can provide them with the chance

Food truck meet ups are some of our favorite things. You bring several trucks together serving fantastic food and good things will happen. While Westover Wednesdays, Food Truck Fridays, and others are becoming common place in Little Rock, get outside of the city and they are hard to find. That appears to be changing soon

Another round of Cheers and Jeers, y’all…there’s a lot to be cheering about, but a few things that deserve a small jeer. We’ve seen the opening of some great new restaurants over the last few months, but the not-too-distant future holds a lot of promise for the Arkansas food scene. Some places are gearing up

My food views… Major kudos to chef Brian Kearns and his team over at Arthur’s Steakhouse for hosting our 4-course, wine cellar dinner last night. Service was attentive, yet not overbearing, while the food, both excellent in taste and adequately portioned, came out in a timely manner throughout the evening. In short, this wasn’t Arthur’s
