Monday Munchies: The Purple Cow
Purple milkshakes don't come from cows on a steady diet of lavender. It's simply food dye for a gimmick that dates back to 1989, when The Purple Cow first opened in Little Rock. The latest: The 1950s-style diner expanded in recent years — say, the last 20 or so — through central Arkansas and finally opened in Rogers this March. The vibe: The dining room is outfitted like an '80s kid's imagination of a 1950s diner, with extra purple. The food: I tried a half-pound burger in a smokehouse style, with bacon, barbecue sauce, onion and pickles with a side of fries ($15). Of course, I had a purple milkshake ($6.80). My date tried the grilled Reuben ($11). The verdict: I'll be blunt: I didn't expect much. I've fallen for the schtick in Little Rock and Hot Springs before and wasn't impressed. To my udder delight — yeah, that was intended — this was a great lunch. The burger was cooked well and had the flavor of a patty that was made in-house, not at some faraway food factory. The sauce, a tad sweet, worked with the bacon, a tad salty. It may not displace my Rogers fave on the

Monday Munchies: AQ Chicken House is back
The good news/bad news situation: A beloved restaurant that went out of business is back under new ownership. But it's only good if the new version of AQ Chicken House is like the original, which dates back to 1947 ; it's bad if they don't pull it off. What to expect: I'll say the news is good for most. My two-piece chicken dinner ($17) resonated with my memory of the food, though it's been many years now since I've had it. To me, it seemed a perfect copy of what I used to eat. The downside, at least for some, is that it seemed a perfect copy of what I used to eat. State of play: The over-the-coals chicken (fried with some added spices and a quick char) was fantastic. The "Arkansas Quality" flavor is there. It's comfort food, and for those seeking nostalgia, it's here. The side dishes were always, well, just OK. I think that's still the case. My fried okra wasn't super crispy, and the mashed potatoes were fine. The onion rings really should've been better. The verdict: The rolls, the chicken, the service, the atmosphere — that's the good news. Perhaps try the mac and cheese
