“People who love to eat are always the best people.”

Julia Child

Again, here we will stick with our mantra of EveryDaySomalYaY – it is not about the price or the perception… it is about what we love and why. I have had some of my best experiences while having some of the simplest food and some while having some of the most complex and expensive – I will say it again, Price and Perception don’t matter. In this section, we will explore all different food experiences – from the best Cheeseburger in Little Rock, Arkansas to dining at a Michelin rated 3 star restaurant (of which there are only 135 currently in the entire world). We may discuss cooking or we might review a restaurant. Whatever is connected to the consumption and enjoyment of food we will explore and hopefully broaden our experience to become better people through the process.

      A New Spot in Little Rock!

      I took my youngest 2 daughters to dinner last night at the Sterling Market (515 Shall Ave, Little Rock) – for those who don’t know, it is in the newly developing neighborhood just south of the river and Heifer International and East of I30 in Little Rock.

      It has become home to new hot spots like Camp Taco, The Railyard, Fidel & Co. and is just a short distance from the Clinton Presidential Library Center and River Market.  No doubt this area will contribute to downtown Little Rock’s further success in becoming a destination spot for locals and tourists to enjoy food, beverage, song, and atmosphere.

      Sterling Market did not disappoint.  I was expecting it to be good, but it was much more than just good in all aspects.  It has successfully captured a setting that is fun and lively, but clean and easy to maintain/control, formal enough to make you feel special but casual enough to make you feel at ease; the menu was extensive/varied, but not overwhelming – quality and character of food was unique, interesting, and excellent; and while all I had was a glass of wine with dinner, there was a full bar, and eclectic beer/wine selection.

      On top of all this, it has “The Alley,” which is their spot directly next door featuring an indoor/outdoor spot for events or private parties or small concerts, etc.

      I was very impressed and gratified that Little Rock is really starting to expand its offerings in this area for food/drink and fun.  A significant investment has been made and the planning and execution shows it.  Go support and have fun when you can – you will enjoy all aspects!
