Re: “Mr. Dunderbak's grand re-opening is veggie friendly”
Mr. Dunderbak's has such a special place in my heart and memory. No trip to McCain Mall in the 80s and 90s was complete without a Dunerbak's port-wine-cheese covered pretzel or Reuben sandwich. In fact, the restaurant's convenient location close to a mall entrance made it easy run inside for a "to go" order.
I was terribly saddened when it closed; I was shocked and ELATED when I read it was coming back under ownership of the same family. I'm happy the menu has been expanded to meet the needs of more diners with veggie and gluten-free options. I cannot wait to visit and sink my teeth into a pretzel.
Editorial: The year 2012 has brought to phoenix-like rebirth two restaurants that hold important places in my sentimental memory. Mr. Dunderbak's is one and The Packet House (Grill) is the other. When I visited the reopened and revived Packet House earlier this year, I literally got choked up. I won't be surprised if the same thing happens when I visit Mr. Dunderbak's. Thank you, Richard and Laura!
Re: “The Voice: Cody Belew wows judges with 'One More Try'”
Thanks so much for posting this story and link, Robert. I've not been living under a rock. I've heard of Cody Belew and I knew this Arkansas boy was doing well on The Voice - I'd just never tuned into the show. I'm a huge fan of George Michael, so when I saw your headline announcing Belew had sung one of George's songs, I immediately clicked to watch/listen. OH MY. I am riding on the Cody train now! Just downloaded three of his performances from iTunes. I hope Cody continues to do himself and Arkansas proud.
Re: “Poems on glass”
I'm so very proud to have been dubbed a Deputy Observer! Thanks for the mention. As of Saturday the poem was still in its place. Construction fencing along that block is now limiting access to the sidewalk and therefore to the poem's location, so maybe it is protected and preserved for a while.
(Shameless plug - photos of the poem are on my blog: http://littlerocklove.wordpress.com/2012/0… )
Re: “Singing cornbread in SOMA”
I love it! And I love the Bernice Garden...and cornbread. And SoMa. :-)
Re: “Friday 13th lucky for sweets lovers”
Kelli made my wedding cake too. I'm very excited about Sweet Love Bakes and look forward to the grand opening. Congrats, Kelli!
Re: “Chain Link: Red Lobster”
I grew up celebrating many a birthday and other special occasions at Red Lobster, though I rarely go these days unless with a group that chooses it. Hubs and I make a sincere effort to support locally owned restaurants and that is our choice. Chains with consistent quality and effective advertising will continue to do well and that's fine. Happy that the NLR Lobster has provided jobs for Arkansans lo these many years.
And about those amazing biscuits - you can easily make your own at home with the "just add water" Betty Crocker Bisquick Complete Cheese Garlic Biscuit Mix. A pouch sells for about $2.00. If you can't find the mix, there are many recipes available online using Bisquick.
