Ever since I got back from Charleston, Little Rock has seemed like a Wasteland at least in the eating department. Of course, nothing compares to Charleston, but it would help if I&#8217;d get outside the city limits every once in a while. This is a gorgeous state, but I probably know less about it and have seen less of it outside of Little Rock than someone living half way &#8217;round the world. <br>     Of course, when I clicked on Taylor&#8217;s facebook page, they don&#8217;t even list there address, much less have a website, and of course they&#8217;re closed this Saturday because their daughter is graduating from grad school. That&#8217;s par for the course when it comes to a real rural restaurant, but it&#8217;s also a pretty good sign that when they are open they really get into what they do. Also, the fact they didn&#8217;t have their own website was actually an upside surprise for me because what they did link to was a website of a &#8220;gal&#8221; as we like to say who specializes in discovering new great little gems of restaurants all around the natural state. Her name is Kat Robinson. The name alone has me closed as a fan. Expect me to do some traveling in the Natural state exploring her finds. Who knows, maybe I can bring my guitar and find a place that&#8217;ll let me sing my ditties as well. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Taylors-Steakhouse-467182306704999\/\">Taylor&#8217;s Steakhouse Facebook Page<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tiedyetravels.com\/2015\/04\/taylors-steakhouse.html\">Taylor&#8217;s Page on Tie Dye Travels<\/a> \u2014 Kat&#8217;s Site.
