I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
One of the great things about Arkansas is that many of our restaurants support local farmers. And in that effort, the freshest ingredients are being sourced every day. This means that the food is farm-to-table, made fresh daily, and packed with so much flavor. What’s even better is the care that goes into preparing these eats. The Root Cafe is a made-from-scratch restaurant in Little Rock that’s dishing up some of the best farm-to-table fare around. Let’s explore the menu and see what deliciousness awaits.
