In this week’s edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we’re talking to Russell Ingram, co-owner of the very popular Dot’s Hot Chicken that recently made the change from food truck to brick and mortar. But first?!?!
FOOD NEWS!!!
We’ve hit the time of year where we get some temporary restaurant closures, especially in Fayetteville before the U-of-A gets back in session.
Russell Ingram and his wife Sarah moved from Nashville to Fayetteville where she’s originally from. Russell has a chef background and learned hot chicken from when they made it as a special at a restaurant where he worked in Nashville. He grew to love it and didn’t like that he was moving to a place that didn’t have it, so he started his own- Dot’s Hot Chicken, and they hit the ground running! They opted for a food truck first. They bought one that they had to drive back from outside of Houston, and the trip was SCARY. You’ll hear that story.
Also, who is Dot and how many awards has her chicken won? Russell will tell us.
They recently moved into a brick-and-mortar restaurant from the food truck. Russell will talk about that transition, and what that allows them to do that they couldn’t do in the food truck... and it’s all next right here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas!
