In this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast we're taking a bit of a left turn as we're heading out to the Rogers Farmer's Market where we had a bit of a roundtable, and we'll get to that, BUT FIRST??? (*FOOD NEWS*) Pesto's By Lance closed yesterday. We'll hear from Lance. Both Renzo's locations also close, but it might just be temporary Taqueria Lucha opened on Dickson Street last week The Apartment 7 Bar has opened in the space formerly known as WineU on 15th Street across the street from Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville. There is now a Rudy's BBQ in Fayetteville Local Ice Cream is joining he Brick City Shops at Evelyn Hills Mermaids in Rogers is opening soon. VERY soon. France's top Sommelier will be in Springdale at the end of the month! A local bartender competes against the top 30 in the nation We'll hear about the new restaurant & bar at the New AC Hotel in Bentonville The Bentonville Brewing Company turns 10! Of course, we're in Farmer's Market Season here, and it's a serious time of year for those that run them, and those that have booths. The Rogers Farmer's Market got displaced by the tornado last year, but they've come back strong. Owner/operator Grant Wise took it over last year from his mother, carrying on the family tradition. But with that came new ideas, new marketing AND a new location – a very different one that's paying off early... We hear from Grant, and two local vendors that basically plan their whole week around people “shoppin the shade.” If you don't know what that means, you will shortly, right here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas...
Roberson was last seen on February 28, 2006, in downtown Fayetteville, Arkansas, specifically on Dickson Street, where he was enjoying time with friends in anticipation of celebrating Mardi Gras. Unfortunately, he began to feel unwell, prompting his friends to suggest that he return to their vehicle and wait for them to regroup. However, when they returned to the vehicle, they discovered that Roberson had vanished without a trace. Since that day, there has been no word from him, and the details surrounding his disappearance remain shrouded in mystery.In the wake of his disappearance, Roberson's family took immediate action by filing a missing persons report with the Siloam Springs Police Department. The department indicated that they had transferred the case to the Fayetteville Police Department on March 8, just five days after the initial report was made. However, the Fayetteville police have no documentation of such a transfer, leading to confusion and a lack of clarity regarding the investigation's jurisdiction.Compounding the situation, Roberson's mother submitted a separate missing persons report to the Fayetteville police, but they did not pursue an investigation, mistakenly believing that the Siloam Springs police were already handling the case. Meanwhile, the Siloam Springs Police Department assumed that the Fayetteville police were in charge. Adding to the complexity of Roberson's situation, he had two outstanding warrants for his arrest related to a forgery conviction and charges of being an accomplice in drug delivery. There is a theory suggesting that his disappearance may be linked to his potential testimony in a federal narcotics trial, raising the unsettling possibility that he may have been silenced. His case remains unresolved, leaving his family and friends in a state of uncertainty and heartache.

On this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we're at Butterscotch in the Bentonville Square- you know the place- part bakery, part bar. We get into that, but first! FOOD NEWS! Applications are open for the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame... The original location of Slim Chickens is closed until summer, we think. We took video yesterday and, well, the original building is gone. Cobblestone Farms in Fayetteville is now reserving 2025 Spring/Summer CSA shares.... The 2nd annual NWA's shortest St. Patrick's Day parade has been announced. We have the particulars. Fayetteville's Spoon Fusion Korea Oh-K Dog on Dickson Street will temporarily close starting today and will re-open the 24th, according to their social media post. (*) Some sad news to report. Popular Fayetteville Food Truck Swag Banh Mi announced yesterday that they'll be closing down in 3 months. We'll hear why from a co-owner. Sam Gibson is the Director of Operations and Bar Manager of Butterscotch Bakery and Bar in the Bentonville Square. He's been there since he helped concept it with longtime friends and owners Sam and Larissa KcKenzie. He'll tell us why it's a bakery and bar, of course, a unique pairing.. Also, how did they wrangle prime real estate on the Bentonville square?!?! We'll hear that story as well. We'll talk about the bakery and what Sam wants to see on store shelves nation-wide from there, and he makes us some EXCEPTIONAL Butterscotch Old Fashions, I can say that it's the best Old Fashion that I've ever had... Sidenote- a bit of explicit language in this one, so plan accordingly. Thanks for listening- listen wherever you get your podcasts, and watch now on YouTube!
Happy Thanksgiving and welcome to another edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast. Appreciate you being here. Today, we catch up with Julie Sill. You know her from owning and operating a few legendary Dickson Street spots from back in the day, Common Grounds and the Hog Haus Brewery in Fayetteville. She's back and opening a new spot. More on that in a second. A few quick things first. If you're in need of a free Thanksgiving meal on Thursday, I've posted a list of places that are serving them on Instagram and Facebook. Just look for the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas. Secondly, some very important dates were announced yesterday (Tuesday, November 26th) for any and all beer nerds out there. The good folks at the Ozark Beer Company announced that they'll be releasing their vaunted BDCS during the last week of the year! For those that don't know, that is the Bourbon Double Cream Stout. People come in from out of state for this release. It's been rated World Class by Beer Advocate, it's and it's right here in our own back yard! We'll get a history lesson on it from Lacie Bray and Marty Shutter of Ozark Beer Company. Hear what you'll be able to get and when! By the way, if you want to hear the Ozark Beer podcast, scroll back to April 17th. It has some great stories! Also, head to Ozark Beer Company's social media to see the message from owners Lacie and Andy about the release. Now. Back to the Feral Pig... Julie Sill came to the UofA on a soccer scholarship. A knee injury ended her soccer career, and she needed to figure out what to do next. While she was doing that, she waited tables. She worked her way up. She found a correlation between the restaurant business and soccer, and that's what sucked her in. She'll tell you what that is. She worked her way into management and was soon running a restaurant for someone else. It didn't take long before she had her own restaurant at the age of 21! She'll tell that story and how she got Common Grounds off the ground. Later, she'd own and run the Hog Haus Brewery and wait until you hear the sweetheart deal that she got! Health would force her to get out of the business and head home to Maryland, but Fayetteville pulled her back, and now she's launching a new spot. Sidenote- there are a few spots in here where adult language is used, so beware! We'll hear from Julie Sill, next here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.

On this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas Podcast, we have a little bit of a different one for you, as we were invited to the VIP night at the LeRoy Lounge in Fayetteville on Dickson Street, and man, what a scene it was… But before we get to that… a little about the LeRoy. It's a dining and entertainment experience. By that we mean that they have duckpin bowling… it's bigger in the northeast and to my knowledge, doesn't exist in NWA… They also have 2 sports simulators and 2 gaming media lounges, as well as a few classic dart stations… Also, we got to sample some of the food and what we had was very, very good… We also sampled a few of the drinks from the drink menu, which were great and creative! I'll definitely be going back for both and hopefully some games as well. There were dignitaries from all around Northwest Arkansas there that night. We talked with Ted Belden, co-owner of the LeRoy, as well as some awesome influencers. We talked with Amin and Brittany from NWA Transplants and Samantha from Munchin with Mantha. Had a ball with both of them. Also had a ball with KNWA's Jason Suel who not only works a stone's throw from the LeRoy but has a history with its building. We hope that you check it out!

On February 28th, 2006, Travis Dewayne Roberson went missing during a night out with friends on Dickson Street in Fayetteville, Arkansas. They were celebrating Mardi Gras and the street, close to the University of Arkansas campus, was bustling. So, when Travis simply disappeared on his way to wait at a friend's car, it's hard to fathom how noone saw anything. Was there an accident? Was there a targeted attack on Travis because of the witness testimony he was set to make in the coming months? Sadly, the Roberson family is still asking themselves those same questions. In this episode, we spoke with Travis's sister Sonya to help us understand the details of the case. Please share his story and continue to show support to his family.Facebook Page Link for Travis Roberson: https://www.facebook.com/missingtravisroberson#BringTravisHomePlease consider supporting the pod by joining us over on our Patreon page!

Fayetteville's own superstar, the effervescent Madison Watkins, continues her journey on the ABC singing competition show American Idol this weekend after an emotional episode April 12. The singer/songwriter did not earn enough votes with her Sunday night performance of "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles to advance directly to the Top 10. Watkins and four other contestants "fought for their lives" to earn the judges' two saves and continue on in the competition as part of the Top 12. Watkins tells What's Up Associate Editor Jocelyn Murphy she felt her Monday night performance of Drake's "Hot Line Bling" was her best yet on the show because she "had nothing to lose." The 26-year-old hopes to bring that fire to her performance for "Oscar's Week" on Sunday's live episode. For local Idol fans, Watkins' family is helping to organize a watch party at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, April 18 at Farrell's on Dickson Street in Fayetteville. Viewers are encouraged to bring their phones to the family-friendly watch party as voting will begin during the broadcast. Keep up with Watkins' journey on American Idol and beyond on Instagram @madison_watkins.

In the buildup to last April's bond issue election in Fayetteville, advocates for what they called a "cultural arts corridor" in the downtown area from time to time repeated a description of what could be: It will be "transformational," they said. The voters gave them a chance to demonstrate that, voting 54 to 46 percent in favor of a $32 million plan to develop the corridor from West Avenue and Dickson Street — beside the Walton Arts Center — south to just past the Fayetteville Public Library. In this edition of the "Speaking of Arkansas" podcast, we speak with Molly Rawn, executive director of the Fayetteville Advertising and Promotion Commission, who has taken a lead role in developing the "programming" of the corridor space. Rawn explains her thoughts on what that means as the city embarks on a project reflecting its ambitions, but one with a lot of questions still to be answered. Additional city of Fayetteville information on the arts corridor is available by visiting http://www.fayetteville-ar.gov/3456/Cultural-Arts-Corridor The Fayetteville Advertising and Promotion Commission's website is https://www.experiencefayetteville.com/ As always, news coverage related to the arts corridor and other Northwest Arkansas news can be found at nwaonline.com, website of the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

What is an arts corridor and why do Fayetteville officials want one? In this podcast, listeners will learn more about Fayetteville's proposed cultural arts corridor project, such as: • What an arts corridor is and what sparked the idea in Fayetteville • Why the city is likely to build the arts corridor regardless of whether voters approve the funding plan in an April 9 election • Why city leaders believe it's important to tie existing amenities together • What city leaders plan to do about parking the civic space would displace • Discussion about the economic impact the arts corridor might be expected to have • Whether the civic space is an anti-Bikes, Blues and BBQ project (https://bikesbluesandbbq.org/) Fayetteville residents will be asked in April to provide $30 million to build what city leaders call a "civic space" on the city-owned parking lot at West Avenue and Dickson Street. That parking lot, with 290 spaces, now serves as primary parking for the Walton Arts Center's performances. The project (http://www.fayetteville-ar.gov/3456/Cultural-Arts-Corridor) on the April 9 sales tax election is referred to as a cultural arts corridor that includes the civic space as well as a trail/park connecting the area's arts-related amenities, from the new TheatreSquared performance space (https://ournextstage.org) to the Fayetteville Public Library, which is now expanding (https://www.beyondwordsfpl.org/), and beyond to land the University of Arkansas is transforming into Windgate Arts and Design District in south Fayetteville. This podcast features an interview with Breck Gastinger, a senior associate with Nelson Byrd Woltz (https://www.nbwla.com), a landscape design and engineering firm funded with a Walton Family Foundation grant to the city for design work on the project. He's joined by Zu Ponca, an associate with the firm, and Peter Neirengarten, who is sustainability director for the city of Fayetteville and is leading the city's efforts on the project.
