Iron Chef America Goes to the White House – Washington Whispers (usnews.com)

Bobby Harrison and I used to watch the original Iron Chef. The American version is also a hoot. I miss Bobby this time of year. He died in December. (OK, that is not a very merry thought, but so be it.)

Back from Branson

I am not too proud to say that Marie and I spent a week in Branson. Chesey? Oh, yeah. Rip-off city? You bet-cha. Quiet? Yes. Loved it.

Best Mexican Food I have ever put in my mouth. Cantina Laredo. I think it is a little better than the Little Rock location, but I am willing to give the local guys a second chance. I also understand that I am way behind the itmes on the good Mexican places in SWLR.

Stay out of the Branson Outback. It’s not a real Outback.

AND if you are looking for a great dog sitter while you are out of town, I might be able to hook you up.

Marie and I had a great time getting away from everything.

Luigi’s in Bryant

Max at Arkansas Times Blog has the definitive food lovers blog and there is no competition. However, Marie and I went to Luigi’s in Bryant and caught up with our old friend Hameed. (Sure hope I spelled that name right.) He is the kind of guys people like David Kincade and Dan Greenberg would simply love, and his food is so good I kinda’ like him.

He sold the Chicot Road store and moved to Saline county 10 months ago. It’s bigger and nicer and the food is still awesome. Good selection of pizzas and he has a BEER AND WINE LICENSE. Here is what the Rock City (all meat) number looks like. Marie and I could not finish it. That should tell you someth

All meat - The Rock City from Luigi's

All meat - The Rock City from Luigi's

It’s right off Exit 123. Middleton Heating and Air is directly across I-3-.

Atmosphere is great. Service is fast. He has pastas too and a couple of killer deserts. There is a new fried mushroom appetizer. It uses portabella mushrooms. Outstanding.

But where’s Tommy Smith. Guess Tommy is too good to go over to Saline County!

When you stop by, and it is worth the trip, be sure to mention me!

Best Salad in Arkansas

Memo to Max and the “Eats” Blog on the Arkansas Times group, Romans Roma in Searcy is a good Italian restaurant with very friendly and competent wait staff. The food is tasty, hot and good consistency. I had the pasta sampler. The highlight of the lunch was the salad. It is a regular dinner salad, absolutely fresh, beautifully presented and a homemade Italian vinaigrette dressing that will tingle your taste buds.
