In this week’s edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we hear from Corey McCain and Reese Roberts of Leverett Lounge and the soon-to-be Sidecar in Fayetteville... But first?!?!
FOOD NEWS!!
In this week’s food news, Muselet moves into the former Bentonville Provisions space, we have a new cut-to-order cheese shop coming to Fayetteville, Maxine’s Taproom is having a birthday throwdown, Onyx will be opening another location, and so will Confident Coffee, there’s a new coffee/beer/food joint in the works in Bell Vista, Bonchon Chicken is coming to Rogers, more news on the Fat Chef, Thai Spice will open their new location this weekend, Rein Sushi & Hibachi is officially in their not-so-terrible two’s, The Cave Barber Shop in Springdale is opening a bar next-door, and a local taco shop closes.
Leverett Lounge is owned and run by local restaurant veterans-slash-husband and wife team Corey McCain and Reese Roberts. You’ll want to hear how Corey won over Reese after she rebuffed him... but it’s not as epic as their wedding, which they’ll talk about.
Maxine’s owners Hannah Withers and Ben Gitchel started and owned the place for a good while, but then sold to Corey and Reese... Hear the story behind that.
And the recipes... the KFC, The Mel’s Diner, the Hello My Name is Inigo Montoya, You Killed My Father, Prepare to die- that’s a menu item, and there’s more...
Also, they’re starting a bar underneath Café Rue Orleans called Sidecar, they’ll give us the low-down.
A few quick notes on this one: I was sitting by a wall, so I’m a little echo-ey (I should have known better).. Also, the kitchen gets loud towards the end of the interview, as they should, so be prepared.
Finally, just a little explicit language in this one, but nothing my wife hasn’t heard.
