Off Topic Splurged in the Natural State

[Bill Babler]

We are so lucky to live here in South Missouri/North Arkansas, one of the most beautiful places I’ve been with loads of opportunity for really anything you want to do. 

Since Becky and I moved to SK, we do most of our shopping in Arkansas. We just moved our banking to Berryville. 

Yesterday we sold a piece of property on TR and after our banking business we Splurged a little. 

Went to Eureka to the Grotto. We tried with Phil and Marsha a couple of years ago to have dinner there but it was closed. Last nite on a spur of the moment, we got in. 

This is a very, very special place, dinner was unbelievable, I mean fantastic. The price goes with it. Most expensive evening we have had in 47 years of marriage. It was worth every penny, to enjoy it with my best life buddy.

Service was spectacular, our server knew the menu in and out. You knew she had tried every item on the menu.  She also knew the drink menu  as well🤪
Becky started off with a really nice cab. And I had an Ozark Lauger. They told us it was from Ozark Brewing Company in Fayetteville. 
One of the best brews I’ve had, served in a heavy frozen glass. 

Appetizer was bone marrow with house made garlic toast.  Server called it meat jelly. If you like ribeye it taste like the best bite of ribeye you have ever had. 
Becky is not a grease or fat eater but she for sure gobbled her half. Much to my shigrin. I thought she might not like it, and knew for sure I would. 
Picture was a bit blurred I was on my second Ozark Ale🤗

I had the Smoked Prime Beef Rib and Becky had Smoked Duck Breast, our sides were asparagus and their famous baked potato. Potato is HUGE. we split it and I did not get my half down. It comes with a horsey/yogurt cream cheese, butter topping that you could just drink. 

I’m guessing I had at least 16 oz. of the smoked juicy Rib meat, again I could not get it all down. They said it’s smoked 18 hours and finish/charred on a wood fired grill.
I will today for lunch.  Becky’s duck was cooked perfectly med/rare and was just about as good. 

They also have small plates and the sides are $4 so when or if we go again we are going that route. 

Just a quick note to our North Arkansas friends to tell you how happy we are to be neighbors. 

Good Luck
