Did Your Favorite Restaurant Make The Arkansas Food Hall of Fame Finals?

The state of Arkansas has some fantastic restaurants. Whether it's a diner in Texarkana, a tavern in Hot Springs, fine dining in Little Rock or a game day favorite in Fayetteville, there is great food all across the state of  Arkansas. That's why it's fun to see what restaurants make it into The Arkansas Food Hall of Fame every year.

There Are So Many Great Places to Eat in Arkansas

Did any of your favorite Arkansas restaurants make it to the finals in the list below? What about Proprietor? There is also a list of food-themed events. A few years ago the Hope Watermelon Festival won that category and Cattleman's Steakhouse in Texarkana made it into the Food Hall of Fame. Who will win in these categories this year? How many of these restaurants and food events have you been to?
