One of the silver linings of having so much time at home is the opportunity to read more books. And of course, the resourceful folks at the Fayetteville Public Library have established a workaround to allow their patrons to access resources and content from the library without setting foot inside the actual space :

By now, most everyone has heard of Sai Wok. If you haven’t, you’re welcome for the introduction. There’s really no other way to describe this place other than to say it’s super delicious and dangerously addicting. Of course, this whole corona virus pandemic is really cramping everyone’s eating out style. Fortunately, Sai Wok like many other local businesses is open for pickup and delivery. There’s really not a bad item on the menu, just make sure that you’re prepared to withstand spice if you ask for it. Bonus…their food is wonderful leftover so order more and spread it out for multiple meals.

Has Quarantine made you sick and tired of your current home decorating situation? Are you tired of looking at the same old Knick Knacks and feel that it’s time to buy new ones? Or are you bored and just need to window shop without actually getting out in all of this #covidcrap? If any of that is true, I suggest you check out our business neighbor, The Rusty Chair. Specializing in “Antiques and Cool Stuff”, this little shop is…

Beloved by many and known all over the country, Ozark Beer Company is somewhat of an institution in the craft beer world. From their humble beginnings in a nondescript warehouse on 1st street, to their current location in the heart of Downtown Rogers, Ozark Beer has been turning out some of the state’s (and the nation’s) most interesting and most delicious beer. They are known for their famous bourbon aged stouts, their ability to collaborate with local businesses and institutions to produce specialty beers based on everything from locally grown and available produce to art installations and music festivals. Their taproom was a busy gathering place for regulars, Downtown Rogers Farmer’s Market goers, weekend shoppers, cyclists from Lake Atalanta and curious out-of-towners who were undoubtedly directed there by some article they read in a publication.

Recently affected by the Covid 19 Pandemic, they like many others, have been forced to shut down their tap room and scale back their staff. But they are still hard at work, producing their beer for store distribution and for drive thru pickup at their facility. Next time you’re forced to go the store, please consider supporting them, either by looking for their products on the store shelves or picking up some 6 packs at the brewery.

Cheers, Friends

If being stuck at home has you in the routine of expanding your cooking and baking skills, you’re not alone.

If delicious food and carefully curated wines to go are what you are craving, you really should check out Bar Cleeta. Located off the square in Bentonville Arkansas, Bar Cleeta is one of those wonderful little places that we are all missing right about now. They typically offer…

When I first visited Bar Cleeta, it was before they were officially open and we focused on photographing their delicious food and drinks. A few weeks back, I paid another visit to focus on the finished space. Of course there was also food and drink involved but this time, it went straight to my tummy. As for everything else…well…scroll down and see for yourself.

Hello and Happy (almost) Summer time. As you may or may not know, I (Philip) now have a business partner/collaborator/additional photographer/videographer/website & social media contributor who’s name is Jared. For the past few weeks, we’ve been hard at work creating content and figuring out the routine of running a business together. And that has left us both too busy to share recent work here on the blog. Today, I’m going to begin to remedy that by sharing a few images from a recent photoshoot in Bentonville’s newest culinary establishment, Bar Cleeta.

Unlike a traditional restaurant that serves entrees, Bar Cleeta serves small, shareable plates that pair well with their curated wine list and craft cocktails. As you might expect from a culinary establishment of this caliber, everything is beautifully presented and wonderfully delicious. For more information on Bar Cleeta, please visit their facebook or instagram page.

Cheers!
