PROFILE
As a rule of thumb, there are those who are steakhouse people and those who quite simply are not. Those who are become loyal followers of their favorite local chop houses and tend to seek out a good steak even when traveling. Steakhouse people are a rare breed, but they tend to have a heightened palate when it comes to specific techniques for cooking meat — and the ways in which even the simplest sides are prepared. But unlike barbecue people, steakhouse people tend to lean on their affinity for an overall experience rather than just the food.
In November 2019, Richy and Joanna McCusker bought a house in Fayetteville knowing they would remodel. Built in 1970, the house was dated, carpeted and needed a major update.
With a degree in interior design from the University of Arkansas, Joanna’s passion and career is in the kitchen and bathroom design business. She worked for Fayetteville’s Kitchen Distributors out of college and now currently works for Mark Phillips Construction, managing projects, working with clients and subs, and wearing a lot of different hats.
It’s no secret the University of Arkansas is home to a vibrant and active Greek life community — one of the nation’s largest, in fact, with more than 9,200 Greek leaders. Aside from the social aspect of Greek life, the U of A’s sorority and fraternity members are active volunteers throughout Northwest Arkansas and are often the first to pitch in when local nonprofits need help. Working to support sororities and fraternities is something Parice Bowser, assistant vice chancellor for Greek life and associate dean of students, strives for each day.
