New post about Fatsam's Cafe' in the River Market

The winner of the gift certificate to Fatsam's sent me the following message via email:

"First, I want to thank you for answering my earlier e-mail. Second, I need to apology for taking so long in letting you know about my sisters and my outing.
We had a great day. We had a little trouble finding Fatsams. We made one trip across the river to North Little Rock, but we did find it and having a lot of fun. Surprise to say the least more like shocked. I was expecting a nice sit down restaurant. Now don't get me wrong I really enjoyed Fatsams the food was GREAT. Maybe my sisters knew what we getting into but not me. I had never been to the river Market before, I will be going back.

Winner of Gift Certificates to Hibernia

Congrats to Sheila Wilkins, winner of the $50 gift certificates to Hibernia last week.  Susan picked up her gift certificates this past weekend and told me she was going to check out the restaurant and let us know what she thought.  ne of my colleagues here at the station says the restaurant was super busy because of St. Patrick's Day  - so it took longer for him to get his food this past week (1 1/2 hour) but says when it arrived it was hot and delicious.  Says he made the most of the wait by visiting with the people he'd come with.  Hopefully, that little kink regarding timing has been worked out because I do highly recommend the restaurant - from the ambiance to the appetizing offerings - you must try the bacon and cabbage and the bread pudding.  And remember your manners, the proper "Irish bite."  :) 

The "9-11" story connected to the restaurant also makes it well worth a visit.  Pull up a chair and visit with the two "Gerrys."

Tune in for today's feature - it's all about the kids.  Happy Spring Break!!!

Congrats to Winner of Gift Certificate to Fatsam's Louisiana Cafe

Deb Pate Kerr is the winner of lunch for two to last week's feature Fatsam's Louisiana Cafe. 
BTW, went back Saturday to check out their Brunch and it was delicious - sampled shrimp and grits, grilled sausage, toast, beignets and chicory coffee - all for $8.  Owner James Meadors was even frying up some chicken wings and pork chops - now that's a southern breakfast for you!



A little FYI for you - Chicory coffee was said to have been developed during the civil war of the French.  Coffee was not abundant at that time so they added chickory, the root of the endive plant, (Endive is a type of lettuce)  to the brew  to add body and flavor.  The Acadians from Nova Scotia brought that taste and many other customs to Louisiana.   If you like very bold flavor - you will enjoy this coffee.  Fatsam's has theirs specially ground in Little Rock by Guillermo's Gourmet Coffee.
