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.
When cruising through the backroads of Arkansas, you often stumble upon the best hidden gems in the middle of nowhere. Many are unassuming eateries serving up some of the most delicious meals you will find in the Ozarks. One such place is the Olde Crow General Store, which is a small country store that serves the best craft sandwiches that money can buy.
Located off Highway 5 in Benton, Olde Crow General Store has the best farm to table stick-to-your-ribs meals in Arkansas.
The general store sells a variety of locally grown produce, all natural meats, farm fresh eggs, raw honey, and convenient store items to the residents of Benton as well as to the passersby.
It's stuffed with loads of pastrami, sauerkraut, and ooey gooey melted swiss cheese. The marble rye bread is perfectly toasted, and the sandwich has the right balance of ingredients.
But the flying pig is another crowd pleaser. It is stuffed with shaved turkey, bacon, and melted mozzarella cheese served on a flavorful ciabatta roll.
