WELCOME TO EPISODE 150 of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast!!! We’re spending it at the legendary Bordinos in Fayetteville talking with co-owner Molly Allison and they’re celebrating Bordinos 30th anniversary, but before we get into that?!?! FOOD NEWS!! We’re hosting a Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives watch party on Friday at 7! Both Mezzaluna and Saiwok will be in this episode! Come watch with us! Chef Mauk announces the grand opening date for Bienvenue on today’s podcast! Speaking of Bienvenue, Nosh Nola is about to open in their old spot in Downtown Springdale! Arkansas Trails Brewing Company opened over the weekend in a VERY significant building. Owners Audrey & Adam Jones will explain. It’s Tontitown Grape Festival Week!

In this week’s Flavors Flashback, we go back to Chef Will Mauk from Bienvenue who tells us where he worked when he came to NWA. Jeff and Molly Allison had the opportunity to buy Bordinos in 2020 when Joe Fennell decided to sell and retire. Molly will tell you that story. Also, 30 years!!! Molly will tell you how they plan to celebrate and it happens soon! Finally, something that they didn’t see coming... Covid. They hadn’t owned Bordinos for even two months when that started. Molly tells us what they did to survive, and that’s in this edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast!
