The annual categories are:

● Arkansas Food Hall of Fame - which recognizes that have become legendary in their area

● Proprietor of the Year- this one is about a chef, cook or restaurant owner

● Food-Themed Event - is a food-themed event or festival

● Gone But Not Forgotten - these are restaurants of the past that we still remember fondly

● People’s Choice- this includes restaurants and food trucks.

I know there are a ton of great restaurants all over Arkansas. The great thing is, our area has already made it into the Hall of Fame twice! The Hope Watermelon Festival won the Food-Themed Event in 2019. Then the following year, Cattleman's in Texarkana made it into the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame in 2020.

We can easily get in again this year with all the great restaurants we have in Texarkana Arkansas and surrounding areas. I'd Love to see Zappta's get in. Oh, what about Fat Jack's? Or how about Doc's Place in Garland and then there's The TailGaters Burger Company in Hope? Those are just a few restaurants that come to my mind.  So go ahead and make your nomination! You can do right here!

Winners will be announced in a special ceremony in 2022.

Some Alligators In Arkansas You Can Touch - Most You Can't

If you're looking for a great day trip for the whole family may I recommend a fun outing at the Alligator Farm & Petting Zoo in Hot Springs, Arkansas? My wife has been visiting this fun attraction since she was a little girl, we manage to get around to seeing it every couple of years or so and for the most part, it stays pretty much the same, but it's always fun to pet a baby gater.
