Northwest Arkansas Comfort Food: Pizza, Mexican & Scratch Soups


Hey there, NWA food lover! 😋
I think winter has officially decided to show its face this week — the kind of weather that makes comfort food feel like a good idea.

The new project I mentioned is still in progress. It’s coming together well, just slower than expected. I’m aiming for Friday and looking forward to sharing it with you.

And speaking of comfort food, the scratch-made soups at The Five6 in this week’s video are exactly the kind of cold-weather meal that hits right

Let's dive in. 👇

Soup from The Five6 in Rogers AR

Hey, it's Lynn – Happy Friday! Hard to believe we’re already in the middle of January — that went fast. This weekend across Northwest Arkansas brings a mix of cozy, playful, and unexpected: candlelit concerts, country dancing, masquerade ball, Ozark Mountain Music Festival, chilli cook-off and a few things you probably wouldn’t stumble on by accident. Over the past couple of weeks, a project I started working on has grown into something much bigger than I originally anticipated. I’m crossing...

Jordan Wright - Wright's Barbecue - Lynn West - nwatravelguide

Hey, it's Lynn – Happy Friday! A Little Change of Plans... I know I mentioned on Wednesday that I was working on something new and hoped to have it ready for you today. Well, as it turns out, that project is still in the "low and slow" phase—much like a good brisket. It’s not quite ready for the table yet, but I promise it’ll be worth the wait. In the meantime, there is something big that is ready. If you’ve driven near the new Walmart Campus in Bentonville lately, you probably smelled it...
