The Food at the Arkansas Ale House is Best Had After a Few Beers

April 11, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

My review originally appeared as a guest post on Kevin Shalin’s wonderful blog The Mighty Rib. To everything there is a season, and after four visits and much reflection, I can only say that the food at the Arkansas Ale House at Diamond Bear Brewery is best had after three or more of their fine beers.

Beefy Instant Pot Shepherd’s Pie

April 10, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Lately I’ve been on a real comfort food kick, putting together warm, comforting, homestyle dishes that I haven’t had in a long while. A couple nights ago, I was up on the Instant Pot Community on Facebook looking for a way to use up some angus burgers, when Lisa S. suggested I make a beefy…

Instant Pot American Goulash With Red Wine, Bone Broth and Garden Herbs

April 9, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

I was in the mood for comfort food tonight, so I searched the interwebs to find something warm and comforting that I could make in my Instant Pot, and came upon Simply Happy Foodie’s recipe for American Goulash. Now she gets all the credit for the base recipe, but in reading it over, I saw…

Instant Pot Vegetarian Lasagna

March 31, 2018 By WooPigFoodie

This is a great Instant Pot vegetarian lasagna. You can use any vegetables you like, but I like vegetables that melt into the dish a bit, so I use zucchini, summer squash, sliced tomatoes, and spinach. This recipe makes two lasagna pans, which I cook separately in my Instant Pot, using the Pot In Pot method….

Le Bernardin in New York City Beautifully Prepares Fish and Seafood

February 21, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

I met my sister tonight in New York City for a nice, quiet dinner at the Michelin three star fish and seafood restaurant Le Bernardin. I’ll write more later about the factors that result in a Michelin three star rating (which is the highest), but in short it is a commitment to the highest levels…

This review originally appeared as a guest post on Kevin Shalin’s wonderful blog The Mighty Rib as part of our monthly series called He Said, He Said, way, way back in February 2018. Here it is again, but with my expanded thoughts. I like to think of this as my director’s cut. I hope you enjoy it….

A Whirlwind Tour of New Orleans’ Food Scene

January 26, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

I really love New Orleans. I’ve been there at least a dozen times. I love its art, music, people, history, culture, architecture and most of all, perhaps, its food. Last weekend a few friends and I went down to New Orleans for what was truly a whirlwind tour of its fantastic food scene. What ensued…

The Perfect Old Fashioned or Manhattan Cocktail

January 16, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

I’ve been thinking for a while about the good old days, those days well before my birth when good people got together at 5 p.m. and had a good, stiff cocktail. I think we need to bring that back. I think it’s important to sit and talk and discuss and cheer one another on through…

Wright’s Barbecue is Doing All the Right Stuff in Northwest Arkansas

November 19, 2017 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

I’m just going to come out and say it: I think Wright’s Barbecue may just be the best barbecue in the state. It makes Texas-style brisket, ribs, hot link sausage, pulled pork (ok, so not Texas), smoked chicken, brisket beans, mac+cheese, loaded baked potato salad, cheese grits, coleslaw, bacon green beans, cold shiner bock beer, chocolate…

Heirloom Bakery & Hearth Makes a Beautiful Biscuit Sandwich

November 4, 2017 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Kibbey and I are starting the second day of our #KCEats trip at Heirloom Bakery & Hearth in the Mission Hills area of Kansas City. Kibbey is our resident breakfast aficionado, so what he says goes. He had heard about this place from several otherwise reputable friends, so this seemed a good bet. And it…

The Thing About Fried Pickles

The thing about fried pickles is that you know they’re going to be hot. And you know that little cup of ranch dressing isn’t going to do it. You’re going to burn your mouth, your hands, and have hot vinegary dill pickle juice streaming down your chin and dripping onto the table. That’s just the way it is. And you don’t care. So you dive in, and burn yourself good. And it’s fantastic.
