Monsters in(vade) the Rock – 55
Team, where have they been hiding? This bastard monster was seen behind Sticky Fingerz. Tri Delta and all. Woozel, keep it up.
Have a great place we should visit, let us know in the comments.
Eat local.
FYI World Championship Cheese Dip Contest This Weekend
Be there.
Here’s proof The Saucer has cocktails too
The Saucer has the largest draft beer selection in Arkansas, hands down. I was told that once they went smoke free, their sales rocketed 20% YoY. As a dedicated drinker smoker, this both blew my mind and pissed me off.
As you probably know, my life as a nasty as fuck food blogger is effectively over. Not really over but I am god forsaken gluten free. This means I cannot enjoy the Saucer like the rest of you fools. You can blame gluten free beer for my lack of enjoyment. Have you tried it? It tastes like crap. I am not about to pound town cider either. I end up crushing vodka on the reg.
The Saucer ends up being a place of depression for me. Looking back at my all time dollars spent list, The Saucer is number two, right behind Midtown which we'll get to Midtown later.
I went to The Saucer last Thursday dragging my feet and ordered a standard VnT. Justin and Ronnie were behind the bar and did work. I am talking stout drinks like I'd pour them at home. Clank went to poundtown with Jack and Diet. We went down stairs to play pool and met a lunatic Irishman named Dali. Clank started in on fairies, leprechauns and trolls. He denied all the folklore except trolls. Trolls chapped his ass. He was demanding we dropped it. Weird.
Then we went to Midtown. We fucking raged til 4am. The walk home with Clank was unremarkable. Should've called a cab. Bottom line, I still got it.

Redbones – Rivermarket’s New Cajun Joint
As a hot sauce addict, I can't help but crave artful Cajun dishes. Those coon ass pricks have a way of throwing a bunch of stuff together and it blowing your mind/mouth.
I've only been to New Orleans and I only remember one trip. What I do remember was the filth, music, and food. Unreal. Living in LR is not exactly a Cajun food hot spot, but that's changing.
You remember Flying Burrito Downtown? Of course you do. It's Gone and has a new resident, Redbones. It has the same layout as FBurrito but the decor has had a Cajun face lift. If you're lucky enough to get a booth on the street, you might begin to feel like you're in the French Quarter.
Eyeballing the menu, you'll see classic Cajun dishes like jumbo and jambalaya. You'll also see some awesome soulfood inspired dishes like Black and Mac, blackened catfish over mac and cheese.
I went for the jugular and had to get an appetizer. Another classic jap dish, Andouille and Jalapeno Cheese Dip. My new favorite in town. Clank went with Jambalaya Pasta, gluten free btw. I went for the blackened Tilapia with shrimp etouffee over rice. Wolves, I can't stress this enough, Redbones is awesome. The door was on point and the portions were right.
I highly recommend this place. You can thank me later.

Lounging at the Saucer
There’s a mafia cover-up Downtown and it’s right in front of your drunken nose
Wolves,
I’ve been getting an eerie feeling lately as I stumble through the rivermarket. It’s not the monsters or pan-handlers, it’s the most obvious things that give the biggest creeps.
Have you ever been downtown to The Saucer? We both know you have been there. Have you ever noticed the furniture store across the street? Of course you haven’t. Why haven’t you noticed it? Because no one is EVER in the store. Not employees, not customers, not no one.
So I was standing outside burning a Pfunk thinking about that store, La Harpe’s. I began wondering why the fuck a furniture store would want to be on the most dense binge drinking street in Little Rock. It doesn’t make sense.
A store whose windows prices are outrageous, were talking $3-400 for plastic school chairs. That’s one good way to keep customers out of a store, nothing to see here, move along, no illegal activity happening in the back room, keep moving people.
You see where I am going with this?
Fuck sake, we’ve been had. La Harpe’s is home to the biggest Mafia cover-up in Little Rock. I’m okay with this but that prime time real estate is being wasted for some Bros to make extra cheese.
Your opinion matters little but let me know what you think.
Do you think I’m right?

The Least Inspiring Tacos
In my spare time I enjoy the title of “Joe the Taco King of Little Rock Rodgers”. Some people call me that. Essentially, what it boils down to is this, I eat at least 5 tacos per week, or .7142857 tacos per day. I’m also proud of my theorem that tacos are equal to 1 American Dollar. Also factual.
Here’s the bad news.
All tacos are NOT created equal. I learned this the hard way at Sticky Fingerz last weekend. I am a big fan of Stickyz, the chicken fingerz are next level, but on this day the Chicken Tacos were so blah. THE LEAST INSPIRING TACOS. I took a pretty good pic. That’s the best part. Bevin, one of the managers, told me their Kitchen manager walked out on them that day. So I should take it easy on them? I’m not gonna. They were bland as eff and that’s all there is to it.
Stick to the Sticky Fingerz.
Almost Famous Quesadilla is remarkable.

Monsters in(vade) the Rock 27
The Rivermarket is a hot bed for monster activity. Little bastards are on the back of tons of signs. I've included two shots, on is obviously our trademark monster but the other looks to be a beer bottle abstract. You know it's legit because it has the JFJ initials which are on a ton the work.
Be warned.

Happy Hour Downtown has a little secret
Have you ever thought about the criteria for a good happy hour? I mean some things are obvious, such as cheap drinks, but what about other factors? What about bartender swag, atmosphere, and bar food?
Here we'll review Prost, an unlikely hotspot, which has the potential to do work.
Let's knock this one outta the park. CHEAP DRINKS
You want em, they got em. Prost is like the foreign exchange student staying in downtown LR. Prost's siblings are Willy D's and Deep, you could say those bars are more like the generic fucked up reason the Taliban hates America. That being said, Prost has a great drink selection. Their bar has tons of liquor and they've got at least 10 beers on tap. So about this happy hour, you'll find $2 wells and $1 off pints. That should get you laid fellas, Palmela Handerson that is. BARTENDER SWAG
Friday the wolves found two ladies behind the bar. Usually you can fund a bald dude named Thomas but today it was babes. I didn't catch their names but I did catch quick drinks. I didn't hear any jokes but they were attentive and let us enjoy ourselves. I guess I didn't hear any jokes because women aren't funny. ATMOSPHERE
Prost is in an ideal location Downtown, the problem is that there's a lot of competition to keep it from really catching on. It's connected to Deep and Willy D's so there's a perceived stigma. When you walk in Prost for a happy hour, you'll find it very quiet. There's only a handful of patrons and NO music is playing. It kind of bummed me out. I had to actually interact with strangers for entertainment. Even SportsCenter was on mute. Decor is cool enough as there's rad art on the walls and ceiling. This COULD be a swag place. BARFOOD
If you say it fast it sounds like barf food. Smart. I used yo associate Prost with brats and that's about it but they are trying to change heir image. While we were bellied up for the duration of happy hour, the barkeep announced that they are changing their menu and would be offering our team complimentary menu items. Hoof ordered fish and noodles. I tried it and it reminded me of a microwave dinner and a stick of butter. James had a burger and he said it was pretty legit. Lastly, Watson got wings. He said they were good, but there's better in LR. I know this is a shitty food review but I'm shitty. What it boils down to, Prost has some work to do if they plan on playing in the food game but they are doing the booze game right. Team, do work. Have a great place we should visit?

RLT yeah I said (R)LT
Don't you love trying new food? I thought I was the king of pork, I'm not hut i am one sandwich closer to pork damnation!
I've covered a few BLT sandwiches here recently but this is a new one. A few hints: It's Irish, it's a sandwich, and it involves a fucking pig. Dugans Pub YO! Obviously I'm talking about the RLT, Rashers Lettuce and Tomato. Now i know you're obviously thinking the next logical step, wtf is a rasher and do i want to eat it. Frankly, I had to Wikipedia that ish.

Stickyz Y’all
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, Sticky Fingerz Rock N Roll Chicken Shack is legit son.
Fried Chicken, tons of dipping sauces, and one of my favorite biscuits… that's what you get. Then the food engineers thought, "Hay you's guys, let's dump these chickenz in tortillas." they did it and it is awesome. They also roll great beer specials monthly, I'm talking $2 pints. Not BL and ML but craft beer.
If you want great fried chicken and good beer, take that ass to Stickyz. Downtown fool.

Kiss me I’m Irish
It was cold evening in late December. The only thing that could warm my soul was copious amounts of Smithwicks and Irish fare. That's what I did and in sticking to it. In talking about my favorite Irish Pub in town, Dugans. I was in an authentic mood so I ordered Corned Beef and Cabbage. I almost forgot about the Irish Beef Stew to start the meal. The stew was hearty and steaming hot upon arrival. The corned beef reminded me of pot roast and the cabbage was tender.
The kitchen vent was broken which made for a smoky meal. Lastly the floor was sticky as fuck. Mop the floor and fix the fan.

Gypsies in the Rock – FML
Wolves, you are probably aware of my disdain for raggamuffins, scalawags, and gypsies. In fact, gypsies as a people are generally known for stealing silverware and whorish lifestyles. Not that there's anything wrong with whorish lifestyles, I'm simply just saying. If you're as dumb as I hope you are then you're probably having silverware stolen right as you read this AND you didn't know there's a gypsy camp downtown. But WAIT, THERE'S MORE! This gypsy bunker is also home to some crunk ass food. No, I'm not talking about grape soda and hot fries, I'm talking about next level burgers and sandwitches you wanna stick your dick in between. Now before you start calling me a pussy for tossing salads and what not, let me give you the skinny on this place called Dizzy's.
It's a block from Sticky Fingerz so you'd consider it a proud member of the Rivermarket. A great porch greats patrons and passerbys. This porch screams Gin. I understand the patio isn't always the place to be but don't worry, step inside and you won't be upset. Folk art and wonderful aromas fill the air. This isn't a place you have to worry about cutlery running off either. Drinks are made strong here.
Now to the salads:
Caprese Salad
Turkey lime something salad
Chips and dip
Baked potato – artichokes involved Go here. Eat here. Tip well. Tell me what you think.

New Juanita’s Y’all
There's been at least three restaurants in Juanita's new home since I moved to LR back in 2007. It's downtown, it's in a hole, and it's off the beaten path. You could say South Main Street is that much worse now that Juanita's has packed up shop and moved to the Rivermarket. As for Juanita's, it was alright. The cheese dip is still righteous, and their prices are still high. I'm talking $9 for a small fish burrito rice and beans. It isn't like I'm not willing to fork 10 bones outta my tightwad hands, I'd be happy to do that, the kicker is I expect crunk portions. The portions weren't that crunk. The burrito was pretty dang good. I added japs cause it's my obligation to the Order. Clank had a quesadilla, not that crunk either. Y'all. The chips and dip are dope, save yo cash and hit up Riviera Maya of you want Mexican. FMLR.

Dugans Pub – y’all need to go there

Honaroo Hater
I hate admitting a change of mind but it happened. Honaroo was one the top of my least favorite sushi in LR list. You could bank on hippie wait staff and dingy atmosphere. Like Bangkok or some shit. Anyhow, I had a change of heart last night. Grahambitch and Clank convinced me to give it another shot. 5 rolls and a plate of sashimi later my mind was made. This place is worth your stupid time. In fact id recommend it.
