Now you can spend an evening in Paris without having to travel 3,000 miles. For three very special weekends in December, The Park Hotel welcomes celebrated French Chef Philippe Ducrot to Angel’s in the Park restaurant.

This is unlike any dining experience you’ve encountered before: intimate and welcoming, elegant yet relaxed & convivial, delicious yet balanced, traditional yet contemporary.

Chef Ducrot came to Hot Springs to take the healing waters. The Park Hotel enticed him to get behind the spoons & cook up some of his culinary magic. “In Europe, meals last much longer than they do in America”, Philippe said, with the charm of a thick French accent.

One location restaurant chain prepares to expand in Little Rock, while a national name is setting its sights on well-trafficked corner of the capital city, according to this week's Arkansas Business newspaper.

First, Larry's Pizza, the buffet-style pizza slinger that opened its first location in southwest Little Rock in 1992, is adding a second west Little Rock location, this one at 801 S. Bowman Road. The space once housed Dragon Palace Buffet at the Bowman Station project. The new Larry's will be about 7,500 square feet.

But the chain isn't stopping there.
