Spectacular Food and Service Abound at Table 28’s Vegan Nights

July 7, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

About once a quarter, Chef Scott Rains, an avid fisherman who makes what I believe to be the best foie gras and bone marrow in the city, turns his focus to vegetables, hosting a short series of vegan nights. They’re spectacular. Flavorful, creative, and well-priced at $40 per three-course meal, you’ll never miss the meat….

Taylor’s Steakhouse in Dumas Makes The Best Dry Aged Steaks I’ve Ever Had

June 10, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

If you’ve followed my blog for long, you know that I have a thing for steaks. Indeed, I’ve even dry aged my own steaks for 55 days. But tonight was a first. Tonight I had a 120-day Iowa ribeye, lovingly aged by Chuck Taylor in his gorgeous steak cave. I cannot recall a better steak…

Omaha’s The Boiler Room is a Beautiful Place for a Great Meal

May 8, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

The Boiler Room is an excellent choice for a cocktail and wagyu sirloin steak while visiting Omaha, Nebraska. It sits in an absolutely gorgeous location in, yes, an old boiler room. You enter from the street onto the second level, which is a suspended iron grate floor with a beautiful view down into the open…

Brewster’s 2 Makes Some Killer Catfish, Fried Pork Chops and Bacon Cheeseburgers

May 1, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

From the outside, Brewsters 2 looks like a dark old lounge that’s seen its better days. There’s no good parking, either. Don’t let that turn you away. I park across the street next to that old closed up bakery. But get on inside and take a gander at that big menu. There’s the fried side…

Hawk’s Barbecue. This Old School Setup is the Real Deal.

April 27, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Every Friday as I drive home I pass this little barbecue setup over in the parking lot of the stone and paver store out west on Cantrell Road. It’s a simple little barbecue setup, just a smoker and a red trailer with a big old pile of wood outside, which is always a good sign….

Del Campo a la Cuidad makes killer tacos

April 26, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Today I found my very own version of taco heaven, in a little Mexican grocery called Del Campo a la Cuidad (“From the Field to the City”). Located over on a corner of University and 65th Street, this neat spot is cranking out some of the tastiest and most authentic Mexican food I’ve had in Central…

Chicken King in North Little Rock is a Great Place to Get Your Wing On

April 15, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

I can be a bit particular about chicken wings. I want them crispy and hot, spicy on the outside and juicy on the inside. And never, not ever, breaded. So, it was a really pleasant surprise to find a great chicken wing restaurant just a few miles from my office. It’s Chicken King, over at…

Compère Lapin in New Orleans: Wonderful Food from a Top Chef

April 15, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

The Mrs. and I were down in New Orleans recently and stopped by Top Chef Nina Compton’s Compère Lapin for dinner. Compère Lapin (Brother Rabbit) is located on the bottom floor of an old rambling hotel called No. 7, in New Orleans’ warehouse district. Compère Lapin was a boisterous place, and the food really inventive. We…

La Poblanita: A Nice Family Run Mexican Restaurant

April 14, 2018 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Tucked in between a laundromat and a chicken wing place over at 1415 John Barrow Road in Little Rock is the best little family-run Mexican restaurant I’ve been to in a while. I bet you’ve never even heard of la Poblanita. Apple Maps certainly hadn’t. It wanted to take me 800 miles away. (Don’t worry,…

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…

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.
