Brunch at The House in Hillcrest

What is it you most desire on a Saturday morning after a night of pillaging? I can only imagine your thoughts right now. I assume your thinking morning sex, mouthwash, cigarette, cold showers, repeat, remix that order, sleep. Brunch fool. You forgot brunch.

Yankee Doodle Andy and me have a standing date on Saturday mornings. Bloody Mary and brunch, it's what we do. A few weeks ago we headed into Hillcrest for a mid-morning meal at The House. I don't go here often but when I do I love it. Andy went for the burrito. It was about as standard a breakfast burrito as they come, but fuck sake it was righteous. While it was standard, you could taste the quality and love. I ordered the sierra hash. This was hash browns and cheese topped with poached eggs. Rad. Poached eggs are my new jam. The fresh fruit made the meal.

EAT HERE FOOL.

I'm getting thirsty so I'm outta here. If you know a crunk brunch junt in town, engage a bro.

The official most pretentious bar in Little Rock

Leave a reply

I can't believe it took me 5 years to discover the official most pretentious bar in Little Rock. You've probably been here and you probably thought the same thing, unless you're pretentious and this is your watering hole of choice.

It's Ciao Baci of course.

Let's paint the picture. I was not prepared for this place, actually I was wearing the proper uniform for Ciao Baci, a fucking pink polo. Pink? Yeah it's in my closet. Hate me please.

It was a Friday night and the place was crawling with Bros. Walking up to this Home turned into bar, you are greeted with an excellent patio. It's the kinda patio you want to sit on and drink a ton of liquor and smoke a shit ton of cigarettes, at least that's what I wanted/did.

When you walk in there's a lot of seats and a beautiful bar. The bad news is that Friday night is elbow room only. Not like that's a bad thing but it took a while to get the barkeep pouring for you. Luckily Shewolf had her "assets" at the bar and got the booze flowing.

As you look around you're surrounded. Assholes everywhere. One small pisser for all these pricks too. The owner of the bar was there til last call. You know she runs a tight ship. I didn't look at my tab but I can promise you vodka tonics will rape your wallet of life.

Will I go back here? Probably at some point but I'm a do my best to avoid at all costs.

Now, FO.

Have a great place we should visit? Let us know, offer to buy us a drink, and we can probably make it happen.

You're opinion is probably wrong but leave a comment anyway.

Cañon Grill – This is how we do it

Leave a reply

Team, when you get that hunger, that feeling for a Taco , that desire for salsa, that lust for guacamole… fulfillment is mission critical. I got the urge last weekend and did work. Me and Shewolf headed to Canon Grill. This place is a classic Tex-Mex junt. It’s owned by Doug who’s famous for Buffalo Grill and their nasty ass burgers. Nasty in the best way possible!

Canon’s located in the heart of Hillcrest next to the local dive The Fountain. Canon has a menu of all Tex-Mex classics but Shewolf and I went for the jugular. Chips and dip? Check. Margarita? Check. Nachos? Check. Monster Portion Taco Salad? Check.

Seriously, the nachos were awesome.

Portions were huge and the drinks were strong. While this place is not my favorite Mexican in town, it gets a ton of points on the location alone. The food is good enough and should you be in Hillcrest raging for Mexican, this'll do.

Team, can you name anything more righteous than the thought of Artisan meats? I've never heard of such a thing but it exists. Now also consider this, a butcher shop named HAM, Hillcrest Artisan Meats. Is your small lizard brain ready to fight or flight? Dig these pics.

the bacon is Mission Critical. This might jack yo start.

First Thursday Shop n Sip Recap

Leave a reply

Once a month Hillcrest spreads her snotty wings and welcomes foot traffic to her streets. On the first Thursday of each month, Kavanaugh is bustling with life. All the shops are open and most of them are pouring up booze or cocktails. Shit, last Thursday someone booked the Budweiser stage and brought it out for some good local music care of Whale Fire.

Brothers, what I’m getting at is this, if you dig booze and mom and pop retail you need to engage this event. I got this wild hair on my ass for US Pizza. Pepperoni and Japs? GTFO. 4 pitchers later the Fountain happened. Sure there were tons of ex frats and srats, tons of red wine and cheap cigs, tons or hard looks and judging eyes. Did it matter? No it fucking didn’t because I’m in a frat, was with my srat, pounding cigs and wine, staring hard and judging bitches. Live from LR. For the record: US Pizza house dressing through a straw, never a bad idea.

Swag ass bathroom and a hot bar – Diversions – Hillcrest

I don’t know what it is about Kavanaugh but it seems like every place I go on that street loves bumping Hip Hop. Is there a correlation between rich white folks and ass shaking music? Ah think so.

Diversions is a relatively new bar in Hillcrest,

Once you poundtown several brews you’re gonna have to piss, do it here. You’ll find a shitter that is arguably the best dressed in town. If I was gonna snort powder in a bathroom on a Friday night OR if I was gonna pull my woman in a bathroom for a quickie, this is the bathroom I would choose. I will go back to Diversions. It’s a little snobby but you’ll get good service, be surrounded in a swag environment, and be able to dump in a beautiful bathroom. Later y’all.
