Experience a World of Flavor at Dumont Creamery & Cafe

The August heat somehow completely zaps my appetite. It’s hotter than hot and all I want are cold foods like sushi, cucumbers, or ice cream. Mainly just ice cream. With the dog days of summer in full swing, one of Bentonville’s newest sweet treat spots was calling my name. Dumont Creamery & Cafe, located on NW A Street next to Skylight Cinema, is not only home to dozens (over 40 flavors to be more specific) of ice cream and sorbet flavors–they have coffee, pastries–both sweet and savory, matcha lattes, boba tea, hot chocolate, and other frozen beverage concoctions. What sets this ice cream shop apart is the unique variety of flavors offered. Dumont is a chain originating in India and in addition to serving standard flavors like Mint Chocolate Chip and Strawberry, they have globally-inspired flavors like Kheer, inspired by Indian rice pudding with golden raisins, cashews, almonds, saffron and cinnamon; Hokey Pokey, a New Zealand treat of rich vanilla with crunchy honeycomb; and Italian Mint Basil sorbet, which was insanely refreshing and light on a 100+ degree day.

Monday Munchies: Top shelf tacos in Springdale

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say these are the best tacos I've ever eaten. What they're saying: "So, I thought I might be overreacting the day we were there, but now I don't think so," a buddy wrote to me in a text. "My thought remains … there are lots of places that serve tacos. And there is Los Cuatro Hermanos . They serve TACOS." The setup: This 30-year-old butcher shop-turned-diner in the heart of Springdale has been on my list to check out for a while, but the New York Times beat me to it and named it to its list of the greatest Mexican restaurants in the U.S. There is no official menu. Whoever hosts you at the door — for us it was Esméralda — will recite what's on offer, which is generally tacos, burritos and tortas in varieties of prepared beef, pork and chorizo. The verdict: My friend and I agree this food is clearly on a different level than any Americanized taco spot, and really even from most of the authentic taquerias we've tried over the years. Owner Ricardo Palos makes the chorizo, carnitas and chicharrones in-house, according to the Times. The meat
