Mustang Sally's in Perryville has a really great burger on a homemade bun. Highly recommended.
Did you announce the judges this year?
Yeah, I'm not going to the hospital for lunch, sorry. Decent meal in an unlikely place: half-price burger and $1 PBR tallboy (aka "the kickball special") at Midtown on Sunday.
If we're talking fast food, I like McDonald's fries, hands-down. Specifically, the fries at the new midtown McDonald's on North University. When it comes to local restaurants, I love the fries at The Buffalo Grill and Gadwall's Grill (in NLR). The Faded Rose also has some pretty good potato wedges which are great for dunking in rayyynch dressing.
@walker22 - I recently had dinner at CB&G and *almost* ordered the trout; I was torn between the rainbow trout and fried catfish. I asked the server which one to order, and she said the catfish, so I went with it; it was sooo good. They use rice flour, so it's more lightly fried, and it's topped with diced pickled green tomatoes and served with a jalapeƱo cornbread muffin. I think about that plate of food a lot; I believe I could eat it every day.
Wow! Love her.
Re: “Cold weather doesn't stop Heritage Hog Roast”
My perfect plate: pork from the Country Club of Little Rock; Reno's Pale Ale mac and cheese; greens from A Father and A Chef; kimchi from The Root; potato salad from The Capital Hotel, all washed down with a Schlafly Pale Ale. (note: Local Lime was out of food by the time we arrived, so I didn't get to sample anything of theirs.) Overall, it was a really great event. Loved the tunes by Bonnie Montgomery, too.
