This month, AY is bringing you the Comfort Food Bucket List, dedicated to all the places that will leave you leaning back in your seat and loosening your belt. This week, AY About You President and Publisher Heather Baker and Nichole Niemann with Arkansas Style stop by Kitchen Express.

 

“When I ask people from the culinary institute where to get that Southern home-good-cooking food, they say this is the place to be,” Baker said.

For the first bite, Niemann opts for the ribs while Baker takes on the fried pork chop.

 

“It’s just so tender!” Niemann said. “This may be the best thing I’ve eaten since I’ve been here in Arkansas.”

“This is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten,” Baker said. “This is so juicy and yummy.”

 

Next up, the ladies go for the hamburger steak.

“I can’t get over the yams and vegetables,” Baker said. “And I typically skip over those.”

 

Niemann gives the food a personal rating of 10/10.

 

"It's just so tender!" Niemann said. "This may be the best thing I've eaten since I've been here in Arkansas."

 

You can watch Baker and Niemann try out even more local favorites Wednesdays at 2 p.m. on KARK.
