You've got a new breakfast joint to visit.

We both knew that Korean place in the Heights was gonna close its doors. It happened. Now there's a breakfast joint up in there, Early Bird.

Early Bird is what you'd expect from a restaurant in the Heights, great food and made with love. It's not simply bacon and eggs, the menu has some secret sauce.

The pancakes  were made with poppy seeds and served with fresh fruit. They tasted as good as they look.

I got huevos rancheros and could not have been happier. The black beans were served with rice and sausage. A fresh avocado accompanied the dish. To tip it off, the waitress asked if I wanted a side of Christmas, i said yes without hesitation. Out came a 3 spot dish filled with red and green salsa. BBBBAAAAMMMM!!!!

Fml, the bloody Mary was righteous too. Never ending coffee obviously.

Are you gonna visit this place? You should. If not, eff yourself.

Have a great place we should visit? Let us know, offer to buy us a drink, and we can probably make it happen.

The official most pretentious bar in Little Rock

I can't believe it took me 5 years to discover the official most pretentious bar in Little Rock. You've probably been here and you probably thought the same thing, unless you're pretentious and this is your watering hole of choice.

It's  Ciao Baci of course.

Let's paint the picture. I was not prepared for this place, actually I was wearing the proper uniform for Ciao Baci, a fucking pink polo. Pink? Yeah it's in my closet.  Hate me please.

It was a Friday night and the place was crawling with Bros. Walking up to this Home turned into bar, you are greeted with an excellent patio. It's the kinda patio you want to sit on and drink a ton of liquor and smoke a shit ton of cigarettes, at least that's what I wanted/did.

When you walk in there's a lot of seats and a beautiful bar. The bad news is that Friday night is elbow room only. Not like that's a bad thing but it took a while to get the barkeep pouring for you. Luckily Shewolf had her "assets" at the bar and got the booze flowing.

As you look around you're surrounded. Assholes everywhere. One small pisser for all these pricks too. The owner of the bar was there til last call. You know she runs a tight ship. I didn't look at my tab but I can promise you vodka tonics will rape your wallet of life.

Will I go back here? Probably at some point but I'm a do my best to avoid at all costs.

Now, FO.

From the road: Feltner Bros up in Fay

This past Saturday a member of the wolf-pack decided to tie the knot and settle down to a life of domestication...it's a free country and he'll be missed. You can be damn sure the rest of the wolf-pack was there to send him off in style. We traveled up to Fayetteville a.k.a Fayettenam and you can bet this correspondent chicken-danced like a boss.

The next morning sustenance was needed for post-debauchery recovery. Feltner bros was the place settled on. The burger was outstanding! Double cheeseburger with lettuce, pickles, and onions for a rock solid choice.

She-crow got a bacon cheeseburger gluten friendly. It looked good enough that if one is forced to suffer through a life without gluten, it might just be possible.

Crunkin Kosher Dogs

What are you supposed to do at a Jewish Food Festival?

You get nasty on effing Kosher Dogs. Crush latkes too.

Rivermarket is obviously a good host for events like this. In case you were wondering, I didn't get down on the gluten, Yankee Doodle Andy did work.

Typical Saturday

As a gluten free prick it's kinda tough to find grub. Luckily, potatos and vodka are on my to eat list. So it was a typical Saturday morning, I was feeling like Puff Daddy, also typical, and I headed over to Dugan's. (across the street).

What's a great pre-rage recipe for success you ask?
Corned beef and hash, VnT.

My only advice is to gtfo.

This is how to golf in the Rock

Burns Park is great for biking, dog parks, picking up babes, grilling, and golfing, but most importantly, it's built for Icing Bros.

Congrats on not being a bro Brett and abandoning the brohood for a effing wife. She is a babe though.

Look at these BBQ nachos and get jelly on me.

BBQ ROFL WTF
You are speaking my language. The language of pulled pork excellence. You know what makes this bro jacked with excitement, japs.

You want to step your BBQ game up then you gotta drive 2 hours East to Memphis and take your silly ass to Central BBQ. Next order the BBQ nachos, get japs with them then head out to the patio and do work.

It's logical and it's the right thing to do.

I'm healthy and I know it

Gluten free lifestyle son. Doesn't give you street cred but it won't kill you either.

So I've been living clean about a month, probably why you haven't seen any heart attack burgers or nasty ass BLT's. So what's this mean? I'm healthy and I know it.

Me and the wolves headed to Layla's for a lunch, I normally would have crushed a gyro but that shit's off the menu. How about some rabbit food?

I got the Syrian Salad with Chicken.

This puppy comes loaded with peppers and onions and generous portions of chicken. I think it rang up under 8 tacos. I loved it. It filled the coffers. I needed a nap so we crushed a Bull on the way back to work.

Have you tried Red Bull Zero, legit yo.

The best Mexican appetizer you've never had

Hola gringos assholos. Loving me some Mexican hoodrat shit. Lowriders, lowrider magazine babes, tacos, jalapenos; all important for success.

So I was getting my important food intake on at El Porton out in dreadful WLR. My eyes were scanning quickly and eye fucked the most important appetizer in all of the known Mexican universe.

CHORIQUESO

Genius hybrid shit.

Some bro in the kitchen mixed queso and chorizo then shit it out into a skillet.

Team, what we have here is a game changer. Get some.

WINGFEST... Happened

Last weekend the Wolfpack headed to Memphis for our annual rage fest known as the Southern Hotwing Festival. Last year we were kicked out for certain drunk reasons so we were tight lipped and on good behavior this year.

We brought 44 pounds of wings and 2 kegs. We left with neither.

Here's a few pics. I wish I had more but I was too busy pounding whisky to waste time snapping more.

Lastly, I've got video of Austin dominating the eating contest. I'll upload soon.

There's a mafia cover-up Downtown and it's right in front of you drunken nose

Wolves,

I’ve been getting an eerie feeling lately as I stumble through the rivermarket. It’s not the monsters or pan-handlers, it’s the most obvious things that give the biggest creeps.

Have you ever been downtown to The Saucer? We both know you have been there. Have you ever noticed the furniture store across the street? Of course you haven’t. Why haven’t you noticed it? Because no one is EVER in the store. Not employees, not customers, not no one.

So I was standing outside burning a Pfunk thinking about that store, La Harpe’s. I began wondering why the fuck a furniture store would want to be on the most dense binge drinking street in Little Rock. It doesn’t make sense.

A store whose windows prices are outrageous, were talking $3-400 for plastic school chairs. That’s one good way to keep customers out of a store, nothing to see here, move along, no illegal activity happening in the back room, keep moving people.

You see where I am going with this?

Fuck sake, we’ve been had. La Harpe’s is home to the biggest Mafia cover-up in Little Rock. I'm okay with this but that prime time real estate is being wasted for some Bros take make extra cheese.


Your opinion matters little but let me know what you think.

Do you think I'm right?

Low carb masterpiece and a smothered piece of meat

BIKINIS

It's that time of year, time to shed that winter coat if you know what I mean. Ive got a dish for you.

Head down to Dizzy's downtown and order up the lowcarb burger. Feast your eyes on the beauty. Smothered in the veggies you like, peppers, onions, arties etc. Effing awesome. I didn't include the monster cheese dip, its not on your diet shidiot.

Shewolf ordered the hamburger steak. It was too big to finish so yours truly had a nasty leftover lunch.  Baked potato included.

I was told I need to branch out to some new places, look I get it. I understand terrible as fuck WLR had good grub but I'm not trying to compromise my ideals for the trek out west.

DYHSOTF?

Taziki's - A fresh take on salads

I've told you about gyros in town and you probably associate the word
taziki with them.  You might change your word association after you chew on
this.

Taziki's up on top of Cantrell is definitely a Gyro haven but they've got
some secret sauce... SALADS. Now look, I'm not some hippie, but a dudes
gotta get his groove on from time to time, and that means crushing lettuce.
As bikini season approaches I am aware ive got work to do.

Enough justification. Don't start judging me.

Shewolf and I headed to Taziki's for some TLC. Salads were ordered. The
small patio out front was just right. You'll find 4 tables with string
lights around he edge. Yeah, it's in a parking lot but the cool spring air
was needed.

Clank ordered the Tilapia salad. She was hanging her fist again the table
it was so good. Then she started doing the jitterbug. Crazy, I understand,
but it's true.

I went for the Gyro salad. Holy smokes. Think fresh ingredients with
generous portions of man meat, lamb.

Final thoughts:
Look here fat ass, go to Taziki's. You won't be sorry.

Cañon Grill - This is how we do it

Team, when you get that hunger, that feeling for a Taco , that desire for salsa, that lust for guacamole… fulfillment is mission critical. I got the urge last weekend and did work. Me and Shewolf headed to Canon Grill. This place is a classic Tex-Mex junt. It’s owned by Doug who’s famous for Buffalo Grill and their nasty ass burgers. Nasty in the best way possible!

Canon’s located in the heart of Hillcrest next to the local dive The Fountain. Canon has a menu of all Tex-Mex classics but Shewolf and I went for the jugular. Chips and dip? Check. Margarita? Check. Nachos? Check. Monster Portion Taco Salad? Check.

Seriously, the nachos were awesome. 

Portions were huge and the drinks were strong. While this place is not my favorite Mexican in town, it gets a ton of points on the location alone. The food is good enough and should you be in Hillcrest raging for Mexican, this'll do.

Cantina Laredo Ladies Night

Babes, y'all like drink specials. Y'ALL LIKE DRINK SPECIALS RIGHT? Cantina Laredo on a Wednesday night, hell I think it was Wednesday, I'm losing it, they got 1/2 price margaritas aka $4. Pretty legit. But for you Bros reading this, it won't apply to you and they cost double that, beware. Me and Shewolf were there last week and had a late dinner.

Chips and guac make me rage. So you order guac and a bro will come make it at your table. Pretty legit. The chips are served with 3 sauces each unique and chugable.

Shewolf ordered a brownie for dinner. It came out on a fajita skillet and with a hunk of ice cream on top. Then it got drenched in butter sauce. That's healthy. Where's the bacon? Good question smart guy.

I ordered ceviche cause I'm classy. Never had it, will have it again. Fresh fish and advocado will make a boy do work.

Go there but bring your wallet.

It's with much regret I report

It's with much regret I report that I have an astronomical chance at being allergic to gluten and dairy. My life is over.

We shall overcome. We are legion. Etc. [insert inspiring quote here].

Need some options and taking requests like a scared little bitch.

Drinking Pearl Light and grilling a sirloin as we speak. That's not on the diet.
