Arkansas Food Scene

Arkansas food is deeply tied to the Delta — slow-smoked hog BBQ, all-you-can-eat catfish houses, and Southern garden produce like purple hull peas and fried okra define the table. The Walmart headquarters effect has brought a surprising concentration of nationally recognized restaurants to Bentonville, making Northwest Arkansas an unlikely culinary destination. Across the state, the tradition of whole-hog BBQ cooked over hickory and the cultural centerpiece of the church potluck remain defining food experiences.
Known for: Delta-style BBQ, fried catfish, purple hull peas, fried okra, chocolate gravy
