In this week’s edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas Podcast, we’re in Fayetteville at Calle Latin Cuisine interviewing chef Fernando Castillo. But before we hear from him?!?!

FOOD NEWS!!

  • Onyx will open a shared space in the Fayetteville Square, and they’ll be serving much more than drinks.
  • Brightwater officially opens its artisanal butchery program and butcher shop. We’ll hear from Butchery Instructor Travis McConnell.
  • Mermaids has locked in a new spot in Rogers. We’ll tell you where that is.
  • Roll and Fold in Rogers has closed, but is open under a new concept.
  • Ryn in Bentonville will do a documentary, and you can get involved.
  • The Fat Chef MAY not be closing after all, but several things have to go right.
  • They’re popping bottles at Tusker’s Tavern in Fayetteville

Calle Latin Cuisine in Fayetteville will be a year old in April. Owner and Executive Chef Fernando Castillo is originally from Puebla, Mexico, and at the age of 20, decided to move with a friend to New York- he’ll tell you why.

Also, why did he end up coming to Fayetteville from New York? It wasn’t as popular a destination in the early 2000’s.    

On the food side of things, he’ll talk about his influences, including stealing a recipe from his Ecuadorian wife. Kind of.

That’s in this edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.
