Description

On this week’s edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we’re at the soon-to-open Stonebreaker Hotel in Fayetteville where they have already opened for restaurant dinner service and we talk to Executive Chef Tyler Rogers. I had a GREAT interview with him and can’t wait for you to hear it!

In food news:

• Café Rue Orleans celebrates 24 years. Co-owner Maudie Schmitt re-lives the final moments before they opened back then.
• After soft opening for a week, TOCA held their grand opening in downtown Springdale yesterday.
• Osaka House will soon be opening in Fayetteville, according to the Fayetteville Flyer.
• Los Compas Margarita Town opens in Rogers.
• A new pop-up is kicking off tonight at Arsaga’s Mill District from Rabbit Hole NWA.

Tyler Rogers is from south Arkansas, and it was a book that carved the course for his professional life... He was a fry cook in high school for gas-money and between then and now, he’s worked at a couple of 3-Michelin Star restaurants, and a single star Michelin restaurant where he became sous chef, and that helped define what he does today.

Tyler’s fried catfish, made edible balloons, had a night where each course was based on a Wes Anderson Movie and much more... He’s Big on creativity, and so is his menu.
