Owner Heather Roe describes it as “Craft burgers. Clever cocktails. Creative wings. Loaded fries. Home of the ‘Sausage Dog.’ Vast beer list. Craveable bar fare. Brick oven pizza.” That’s good enough for me to be interested in the new restaurant, called Revival. It’s also in downtown Benton, an area of the city that has become […]
“Go condense your own milk”
Way back in the day, I had a book of the Top Ten lists that David Letterman would do on his late show. It’s been more years than I would care to think about since I’ve seen that book, but there are a few of those lists that stick in my memory. One was […]
New chain restaurant coming to Highway 5 in Benton
To let you know about another restaurant coming to town is going to be my pleasure. A lot of you are asking about this new construction on Arkansas Highway 5 near Alcoa Road, and I have the answer. It’s a short answer. It’s not really worth writing an article, but hey, have it your way. […]
Mexican restaurant gets new location in Benton – no not that one, but also yes
There’s a Mexican restaurant moving into Benton territory, but they are no strangers to the area. It’s almost time for the Cinco de Mayo celebrations, so this news is timely.

Pudding That’s Instantly Better with Jason
Avocados are pretty amazing. It’s like a tree saw a chicken lay an egg and then said “Hold my beer and watch this.” Avocados are the eggs of the fruit world for all their versatility and nutritional value. I am equally saddened and amazed when people say they don’t like avocados. The reasons range from the color […]

Never look gift chicken in the mouth
A common theme I keep trying to stress in this article series is to prioritize lean protein in your diet. It’s crucial for controlling hunger, building and maintaining muscle, and just general overall health. Women in particular seem to be lacking in getting adequate protein throughout the day. It might be down to the […]
Nostalgic restaurant with pizza buffet, salad bar and video games coming to Benton
One restaurant closed and another is opening in its place. Pie Five Pizza opened in Benton in 2015 in a corner spot behind Academy Sports and Outdoors. While this particular spot didn’t work out for them, the owner kept their location near Bass Pro in Little Rock. And speaking of the owner, it’s the same […]
Jason Makes Healthy Soup A Summer Delight
I had to mow the yard this week, so no matter what the calendar says, spring is over and summer is officially here. It lasted all of about one day. I have a bad habit of only making certain foods during each season, and I’m not sure why when I apply some logic to it. It’s […]
