To celebrate AY’s Dog Daze, this month is the very special Dog Friendly Bucket List, exploring all the best places in Arkansas to share a meal with your furry companion. To kick things off, Heather Baker stopped in at the Bark Bar in Little Rock, joined by her own dog, Charlie Brown Baker.
While Charlie enjoys the dog park outside, Baker joins chef and bartender Bryan to get started on a delicious spread of food. For something light and refreshing, they have the “Berry Good Boi Salad,” featuring blueberries, vinaigrette and fried onions.
Next up is the mac and cheese. “People love mac and cheese,” Bryan says. “I decided that I’d step it up a notch with a little bit of an alfredo base mixed in, smoked paprika, truffle salts and then on this version I’ve got it covered with my portobello mushroom caps, and it also comes with chicken or chili.”
For sandwiches, Bryan shows off a strong lineup of their French Toast Monte Cristo, Alpha Weiner dog with an all-beef bratwurst, warm sauerkraut, french-fried onions and smoked paprika, and the Impupster Burger with a Beyond Burger patty, balsamic vinaigrette and tossed salad.
“You have mac and cheese to the salads to the dogs to the french toast fried sandwiches” says Baker. “I mean, it is all spectacular, you have got to check out this food.”
Tune in next week to see Heather Baker and Charlie Brown return to Bark Bar for the second part of the Dog Friendly Bucket List.
