The full menu is also available for lunch and dinner. A check of one such menu starts with specialty omelets: "Creole," with crawfish, andouille sausage, tomatoes and cheddar cheese, topped with tomato gravy and scallions "Cahaba Lily," with seasonal herbs, tomatoes, shallots and Swiss cheese and "The Hospitable," with "anything you want on the menu, stuffed into an omelet."Īlso on the menu: scrambled-egg skillets plus pancakes, French toast, waffles and biscuits and gravy. To that end, Brainard says, the menu initially will hew closely to Currence's BBB greatest hits.

There's also a connection with Nashville-based Fresh Hospitality, with which North Little Rock-based JTJ Restaurants partners on Arkansas Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe outlets Waldo's Chicken & Beer, which has an outlet under construction in North Little Rock and the advancing expansion of Count Porkula BBQ, on which we reported last week.īrainard says the Keets are minority partners with him and co-owner Brandon Finch. The website notes outlets are coming soon to Louisville, Ky., and Mobile, Ala. And it's expanding rapidly through several states, including Tennessee, where a corporate-owned restaurant opened this week in Memphis, and another outlet resides in Chattanooga. "This has been the worst-kept secret in Arkansas," he says.Īccording to its website,, the Birmingham, Ala.-based chain has existing outlets in Oxford, Miss.
Little Rock is soon to get a Big Bad Breakfast.Ĭo-owner/operator Ben Brainard is withholding the target opening date, but he says it'll be sometime in early 2022, in the former Arvest Bank building at West Markham Street and Bowman Road, behind David's Burgers.īrainard, who says he's been working on this since he left Yellow Rocket Concepts a year ago, says that he wasn't really ready to supply details, but admits that it wasn't possible to entirely sit on things.
