Re: “Food Feedback Friday: cross-eyed, clearing out, and couscous”
Hey Michael, I'd like to apply for the Cocktail Tasting Assistant position :)
Re: “Food Feedback Friday: cross-eyed, clearing out, and couscous”
We ate at Cross Eyed Pig in Riverdale. Very nice people, fast service, big portions. The ribs are proudly advertised to be St. Louis style. The BBQ sauce was served on the side & had a chili powder component. LunchBuddy had the Beef Brisket sandwich & it was good. The ribs were not very tender. We shared side orders of fried okra (good) & baked potato salad (very good) & split a chocolate fried pie (very, very good). Parking was a huge hassle. Glad we tried it, but not my fav.
Re: “The 3 Best: Cookies”
I discovered Silvek's Coconut Meringue's about 1 1/2 yr. ago, when I was looking for something with some wow factor to take to the in-laws. These are huge, light airy "cookies", somewhat freeform design & everyone thought they were homemade. I've been back several times since & the young woman that is usually behind the counter has been very helpful & friendly. Some of their bread is really outstanding & I've adapted a old family recipe for Bourbon Bread Pudding using their day old challah. Darn, now I want a cookie!
Re: “3 Memphis restaurants every Arkansan should know about”
I thought Chip's BBQ on Markham closed awhile back. I agree with Kat on their pies, I always ordered my BBQ "dry"-their sauce didn't do it for me.
If anyone is out that way in WLR, be a dear & lets us know if they are open.
Re: “Vesuvio moving to El Chico's”
Hope they are open for lunch!!
Re: “A rocky start for Mamacita's”
Think I'll wait a bit longer to try Mamacita's. Did you notice if the drive thru window is open?

Re: “Food Feedback Friday: cross-eyed, clearing out, and couscous”
Hey Superdan, I don't know the difference between KC style & St. Louis style ribs either. These were what we call "country style" here in Arkansas. A thick meaty rib, each rib totally separate from his neighbor, (unlike spare ribs). They were lightly seasoned with a dry rub. I forgot to mention they are adding more space & will be open on Thur & Fri eves, when the re-model is finished.
