Vol 38 • No 24

The best restaurants in Arkansas

That rumbling sound? That'd be your stomach. Even if you've just eaten. After 31 years of running this poll, we can attest: It is impossible to read the list of restaurants Arkansas Times readers have selected as the best in the state and look at pictures of food at those restaurants and not feel hungry.

Big Orange? Think fries

A menu of gold-plated dishes.

Family style at David's Burgers

The Bubbus family draws from a rich tradition.

Tokyo House: Not your pappy's buffet

While the world is full of sub-standard all-you-can-scarf joints — many of which have shambled on, zombielike, long beyond their rightful expiration date — this year's Readers Choice winner for Best Buffet, West Little Rock's Tokyo House, has gone a long way toward restoring our faith in buffet dining.

Momma Dean's good to you

She's cooking up soul food in Fayetteville.

Mind over meat

Testing my mettle against the gutsy items at my favorite taqueria.

Eating halal meat in Little Rock

For the nearly 1,300 Muslims in the greater Little Rock area, dining out and shopping for groceries requires special care.

The Chi dynasty

More than 30 years in the restaurant business.

Community Bakery owner Joe Fox dishes on his rise in the business

Community Bakery, at 12th and Main streets, opened in 1947 in Rose City, but it had moved to a small storefront on South Main when Joe Fox found it in the early 1980s. Since buying it, he moved the bakery into its current space in the Cohn Building and added a second location in West Little Rock. His kitchen pumps out thousands of cookies, cakes and any other baked good you can imagine 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Rapert's folly: the 'blockhead wing's' debt amendment

Ernie Dumas uses his column this week to explain the worthlessness of the constitutional amendment unveiled last week by Sen. Jason Rapert and a cadre of other Republican legislators (and Gene Jeffress).

Finding ex-cons jobs

That's non-profit Lewis-Burnett's specialty.

Showcase continues

War Chief wins round three.

Billy Bob's new one

Plus, Levon Helm wins again.

Praise for power brokers

A fascinating city government drama played out over more than three hours of the Little Rock City Board of Directors meeting last week.

Lyons: The contraceptive kerfuffle

For the record, the priest who married my wife and me in 1967 advised us that we could in good faith practice birth control. He reasoned that as Pope Paul VI was then preparing an encyclical regarding faith and sexuality, young Catholics could reasonably assume that church dogma regarding contraception would soon change to reflect contemporary realities: specifically that a couple intending to bring children into their marriage might legitimately seek to do so in their own time.

In support of Comcast

In a press release by Comcast in August 2011 I was quoted in support of Comcast's program to close the digital divide as follows, "We are proud to pledge our support, but we can't do this alone. We need parents, educators, community leaders and other government officials to join in this effort, spread the word and help increase broadband adoption in our communities."

More bad news for Romney

Can the west be won?

Can a Democrat win a House race in western Little Rock? To test that proposition, the Democrats have a strong candidate for House District 32, now held by Republican Allen Kerr.

VA honcho comes to town

U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller, chair of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, is coming to visit Little Rock to do his own evaluation of the plan to move a day center for vets to 10th and Main, the Democrat-Gazette reported on Tuesday.

Young talent

By and large, this column since its genesis has centered on the Razorbacks, plural. I depart from that this week because the mercurial Hog basketballers have a guy who warrants a little more attention.

Step carefully

Downtown Little Rock is the most dangerous place for pedestrians in the metropolitan area of Pulaski, Faulkner, Lonoke and Saline counties, according to a new report by Metroplan.

It was a good week for Bishop Woosley

Also a good week for a plan to repair the Pulaski County Special School District's financial woes and a legislative gimmick. It was a bad week for Mike Huckabee, John Shannon and the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival.

Loan me your ears

"But a couple of weeks ago, Bank of America decided not to loan Abrams the money she needs to buy the $120,000 house."

The two Dave's

Dinner is jazzier at lunchtime favorite.

Rapert's folly: Idiocy from the ledge

Tough times require harebrained solutions, one of which is national suicide. That is the unspoken motto of what James Marshall Crotty of the conservative magazine Forbes calls the blockhead wing of the Republican Party.

Too devious by half

In the '50s, Arkansas state officials sought ways to oppress black schoolchildren without being caught breaking the law. Today, they look for ways to ravage religious freedom without being caught breaking the law. The option of simply doing what's right seems not to have crossed their minds in either instance.

Primed for reform

Arkansas is an incredible state for a lot of reasons, but few of us think of our political system as uniquely effective. But the fact is that Arkansas has made remarkable progress on a range of issues in the past 15 years — under Republican and Democratic leadership — while much of the nation has been embroiled in gridlock that has more to do with mud wrestling than good governance.

Short-lived

The big ol' good 'un looms

I still think the big crash is coming, probably this year. Not because of the Mayan calendar, but because we slimed our epoch with stupidity until it couldn't bear up under the weight of it and the shame of it and the embarrassment.

Loretta Lynn to Fayetteville

Plus Lord T & Eloise at Revolution

Behind severance tax opposition

Opposition to a ballot initiative to increase Arkansas's low severance tax on natural gas is cranking up.

Tea Party chooses candidate

The snow that wasn't

By the time The Observer got to work on Monday morning, the snow was coming down hard — big, wet flakes that dissolved the instant they hit the pavement.

I think that I heard Rep. Justin Harris pop up with an objection to routine approval to a budget bill.

A reverse 'climategate' stings Heartland Institute

Rich stuff. The Heartland Institute is another of those Koch/oil/assorted billionaire-funded "think tanks" that have popped up like mushrooms in a cow patty to push the corporate agenda.

The line is open

Day kind of petered out. Maybe you can fire it up.

Huckabee: For contraception mandate before he opposed it

The GOP war on women continues

Republicans can to demonstrate their insensitivity to women.

I mentioned earlier that Washington's Birthday is a good day to think about veterans.

Review: Yelawolf at Revolution

Yelawolf is a classic-styled Southern rapper — he's in love with those sixteenth-note hi-hats and simple tracks and fat beats. He's not a rapper preoccupied with elaborate presentation; he has a really fast, decisive flow like Tech N9ne or Mystikal. After the third song, he removed his sunglasses and proceeded to freestyle until his eyeballs puffed out like Ray Liotta in the car chase scene in Goodfellas.

Republican theater: This is debate?

One further commentary on Rep. John Burris' Fiscal Finger — the plan to throw a minority faux filibuster in budget deliberations to force the governor to cut something — anything, doesn't matter what — from the state budget: It is not debate to respond to a state agency's listing of specific impacts of cuts in jobs and services by saying: * "They're wrong."
