      <![CDATA[Kewpie mayo is a Japanese mayo you can get at Sam's Oriental or Mr. Chen's. It's in a white squeeze bottle usually wrapped in red and clear cellophane. It's a little creamier than, say, Hellman's and it's more savory than American mayo. For something like Pimento-cheese, I think it binds a little better and isn't as sweet as American mayo, which makes it my preferred dressing.<br>
<br>
You can also make a crazy good grilled cheese by using mayo (kewpie or otherwise) in place of the butter -- just fry mayo side out for a fantastic crisp sandwich.

      <![CDATA[I'm not sure if the pimento cheese will remain as part of the dining experience at Ashley's, but I guarantee it will remain in the Capital Bar & Grill where it's very popular. I can't make it out of there without ordering it, whether as an appetizer or on the burger (with bacon). As for Ashley's, there's a chance the new chef might be convinced to keep it since most of the staff under him will remain the same, including executive sous chef Jeffrey Ferrell (a Lee Richardson protoge) who has been running the kitchen since Lee's departure.

      <![CDATA[I never appreciated pimento cheese until I moved to Arkansas 12 years ago.  I've come to be a big fan of it ever since.  I really enjoy the version at Taziki's.  Taziki's pimento cheese is always fresh and has crushed red peppper flakes in it for a kick.  They serve the cheese with baked pita's.  Other local places that I enjoy pimento cheese is Big Orange and Capital B&G.  Considering my previous experience with pimento cheese consisted of the Kraft jar version I've come along way.

      <![CDATA[@EY -- Mrs. Weaver's is strictly for nostalgia. Or when I'm poor. That bad boy at HAM is fantastic. Perfect bread, perfect spice, and the salami seals the deal. Follow them on Facebook for their daily menu to see when they have it.<br>
<br>
My basic recipe is a mix of sharp cheddar, colby jack, Kewpie brand mayonnaise (available at Sam's Oriental or Mr. Chen's), pimentos, and black pepper. Salt to taste. Gotta shred your own cheese, though, the pre-shredded just doesn't work.<br>
<br>
Speaking of HAM -- did you save your skirt steak, Kevin?

      <![CDATA[There aren't many cheeses or cheese products that I don't like, but I've never been able to stomach Mrs. Weaver's. I'd sworn off pimento cheese as a whole until I had some a friend made. She puts olives as well as the pimentos they housed in hers. Delish. That opened my eyes and my palate. Boulevard's was the first thing I *wanted* to eat after an illness year before last. I love lunch at Ashley's for the small dish of theirs that opens the meal. Can't wait to try the sandwich at HAM!

      <![CDATA[Holy fish... get me started on pimento cheese.  Really.<br>
<br>
Right now I have some Arkansas gold in my fridge -- courtesy Burge's in the Heights.  In addition to the American cheese, mayo and pimento chunks, it sports a goodly amount of pepper for a nice zing.<br>
<br>
Gibb's Grocery down in Sheridan makes up a casserole dish full of the stuff each day, and when it's gone it's gone.  It's mighty fine as well.<br>
<br>
E's Bistro does an absolutely fat and marvelous version.  And it's Capital Bar and Grill, not Ashley's, that offers a pimento cheese sandwich on its regular menu, as well as pimento cheese and soda crackers.<br>
<br>
I blogged for the state on the Pimento Cheese Trail this summer:  <a href="http://www.arkansas.com/blog/post/one-tank-travels-the-pimento-cheese-trail/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.arkansas.com/blog/post/one-tank&hellip;</a> and have others to add:<br>
<br>
Gina's Place (formerly Ann's) in Jonesboro<br>
Morrilton Family Drive-In Restaurant<br>
The Country Gossip in Stuttgart<br>
Dogtown Coffee and Cookery in North Little Rock<br>
<br>
Colby's in Wynne, by the way, does a pimento cheese BLT...

      <![CDATA[@Stephanie - I've only had a couple of versions I didn't like. And I bet if we took a poll, most people started with Mrs. Weaver's!<br>

@Deana - I'll try anything twice.<br>

@Sammy - They do sell tubs of it. Haven't tried the Boulevard version -- that's on the list.
