This year, we enlisted the help of two iconic chefs from Brightwater: A Center for the Study of Food in Bentonville. Travis McConnell of The Butcher’s Larder wrangled a beautiful, wine-braised beef shank, and Vince Pianalto from the baking program devised a couple of classic desserts with his stylized finesse.
What happens when a real estate professional and an architectural/real estate photographer decide they’re ready to invest in a vacation home they can list on Airbnb as well as use themselves? Stephen Smith and Chadwick Turner had been discussing it for a while and agreed that, most importantly, it needed to be a unique property. Additionally, it had to be close enough for them to manage on their own and easily accessible for quick getaways with their dogs.
When Taylor Speegle talks about hunger, he doesn’t focus on numbers or charts. Instead, he talks about people — neighbors, children and seniors who often go unseen in one of the fastest-growing regions of the country. The last few months have certainly put organizations such as the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank in the spotlight. They are, without a doubt, filling a need and saving lives in our community.
