This is not an “I hate Aaron Franklin” post. I like the guy. I have both of his books, first edition, day of publication. I’ve watched his whole series on PBS. I’ve watched his Masterclass. He’s a cool, smart dude. This is also not an “I hate the wait at Franklin” post. Truly it is…

Loro Austin is a Gorgeous Spot to Grab a Cocktail and a Tasty Bite

October 20, 2019 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

The food at Loro

Loro Austin is gorgeous. Created by James Beard Award winners, Chef Tyson Cole of Uchi and Aaron Franklin of Franklin Barbecue, Loro Austin’s beautiful architecture floods the open space with sunlight. And it has great seating throughout. Barstools up front at the bar, tables, benches and booths on the wall. This place was well thought out.

Taqueria Azteca Makes the Best Tacos in Central Arkansas

October 6, 2019 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Tacos

Taqueria Azteca is my favorite place for tacos in Central Arkansas. (They have two spots, one in Maumelle and one in Benton.) They’re as authentico as I imagine they get, and certainly bring me back to those terrific taco places I’ve eaten at in Mexico.

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….

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.
