Re: “TV producer Bryant Huddleston disinvited as Imboden Ark., high school graduation speaker because he's gay”
I had the privilege to work with Mr. Huddleston back in our KAIT days. Though many of our colleagues were young and inexperienced, and though sometimes the decorum in the newsroom was... hrm, flexible? Light?... he was always a consummate professional. You go, Bryant. Good for you.
Re: “Food Feedback Friday”
The only thing you'll find off I-40 at exit 265 is an old storefront that, from first glance, sells not much more than bait and snacks. Stop in, though. Turns out Kitchens Corner Store and Grocery has been around in one form or another since 1905. Same family has owned the place over the past 75 years Pancakes are huge and burgers are righteous. It sits on Highway 70 at Highway 79, and registers a Heth address.
Re: “Shorty Small's stands big and tall for brunch”
I'm still a fan of Delicious Temptations. Haven't been to B-Side in a dog's age.
If you are in the Fort Smith area, The Egg and I (a chain, sure, but a good one) should be checked out. The Greek seasoned Veggie Benedict with artichoke hearts is lovely.
I still dig Casa Manana's brunch, especially the Huevos con Machaca with a side of cheese dip. Marvelous.
Re: “Food Feedback Friday”
I haven't been dining out all that much of late. Work in all its forms has kept me busy. But I usually drop by Star of India at least once a week, especially when someone has something to celebrate. The food is consistent and tasty, and the management cordial and friendly. And Sammy ALWAYS knows your name.
Did you know this is Star's 20th year?
Re: “The Great Fast Food French Fry Showdown”
Blues, I hear ya loud and clear. Big John's does excellent fries.
Re: “The Great Fast Food French Fry Showdown”
I would stop for none of those fries.
I would, however, go miles out of my way for the crinkly goodness of an order of fries from Braum's. I adore them. They are my fast food vice. Damn shame I have to drive to Alma for some, but Braum's has a steadfast rule -- it won't build a location further than a day's drive from one of its creameries.
No chain around Central Arkansas comes close. However, there are decently good fries to be had at Black Angus, the Salem Dairy Bar, Asher Dairy Bar and The Spot.
Strangely, I miss Steak 'N' Shake's micro-thin fries... a pain in the butt to eat on their own, but marvelous smothered in chili and cheese.
Re: “Food Feedback Friday”
Pancho's Villa in West Memphis turns 60 this year. Its cheese dip is considered a classic and is one of two Arkansas cheese dips with widespread grocery distribution (Stoby's being the other one). For those of you who haven't made the pilgrimage to the old restaurant on Highway 70 east of downtown, did you know that Pancho's serves its cheese dip at room temperature or less? So far, it's been the only Arkansas cheese dip I've had that's not traditionally served warm.
