But that simply means there’s really no better time to explore your town and enjoy some hearty, soul-warming dishes at some of your favorite Little Rock restaurants. I’ve been out and about, sampling bites from all …

My weekly food views… Ciao Baci continues to both excite and underwhelm—all in the same meal. My broiled Atlantic salmon with grilled Romaine, beet hash and fried onion rings was a wonderfully executed, albeit, overpriced entrée. Huge portion of perfectly cooked fish aside, $26 for this dish was just too expensive. That said, the plate, …
My weekly food views… Thanks to La Regional (7500 Baseline Road), my search for Little Rock tamale supremacy is over. Pass on the chicken in favor of pork, which is a ton more tender and flavorful. The masa-to-meat ratio is spot-on, meaning the restaurant isn’t stingy with the meat, one of the defining characteristics of …

My weekly food views… Boy, last Saturday was a gorgeous day to attend the Main Food Truck Festival Street. We arrived early to beat the crowds, which is always a sound decision for popular food events. Unfortunately, my limited sampling of the food proved to be mostly pedestrian. Katmandu MoMo’s dumplings were flavorful, yet small, …

My turkey melt was good, not great, and certainly nothing so amazing as to inspire a …

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, …

It’s darn near impossible for this sweet-loving sugar junkie to end a meal without indulging on dessert. A good meal is simply not a good meal if it does not conclude with me sliding massive amounts of sugar down my throat. And so, I’ll be bringing you this new feature periodically, Rock City Sweets…my relentless …
My weekly views… We all wondered how Baja Grill would handle the transition from Benton food truck to a Heights mainstay. Well … so far, so good. Three visits have all yielded fantastic food and quality service—both staples of their days in the Little Rock suburb. During last week’s lunch, I was particularly impressed with …
My weekly views… Major props to my buddy who suggested a group of us try out Sakura Japanese Restaurant up in Sherwood. The sushi rolls proved to be a hit and an excellent value. Three rolls (six pieces each) cost $14–a pretty damn good deal for tasty eel, spicy scallops and spicy salmon rolls. Is …
