Masala for breakfast

The New Delhi Cafe's Indian Omelette Wrap could be the most unusual flavored dish I've encountered in my breakfast trek. It's certainly delectable.

Falling down good

The wilds of West Tennessee offer up a dilapidated, boarded up building where some of the best hickory-smoked barbecue I've ever tried can be found.

Baked goodness

The venerable Klappenbach Bakery is back open after last year's fire. Kat Robinson goes to Fordyce to check and make sure the quality of the baked goods is still up to par.

UA's marijuana policy

Remember the item earlier this week about whether the University of Arkansas had or had not made campus punishment for marijuana the same as that for alcohol violations? (Bottom line was that, despite notices that the rules had been equalized, top-level administrators put the kibosh on easing pot penalties.)

Those who backed the rule change aren't happy about it. Their release is on the jump. There will be a protest. That's what college is for, right? (And drinking beer and smoking pot.)

By way of proof that the deal was done, then reversed, students have distributed:

1) The new campus guidelines, now moot.

2) The old sanctions.

Famous band with Arkansas tie makes fun of an even more famous band with Arkansas ties

If you're good at the Internet, you've probably seen this music video by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. It's a parody of bands like Green Day (which features locals Jason White and Jeff Matika) who turn albums into musicals.

Hot Springs native Chris Wilson is the hirsute Pharamist. He plays a priest in the parody musical. "He died because he didn't believe in the power of punk," he lip syncs.
