featured dining guide story Advertorial Feature BY KAREN RICE | NORTHWEST ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE 42 What's up! march 21-27, 2021 Penguin Ed's: make BBQ part of March Madness I f you've got a craving for BBQ , there's just one place to go. Penguin Ed's has been THE iconic BBQ favorite in Northwest Arkansas for more than 25 years. And they are still smokin' and turning out mouthwatering meals. The restaurant started out smoking barbecue from a trailer at the crossroads of Crossover and Mission Boulevard in Fayetteville. Hot in the summer, cold in the winter, with barely enough room for two people to stand side-by-side, Penguin Ed's has come a long way from its humble roadside beginnings. The more-than-just- barbecue business has grown to include two restaurants in Fayetteville. And it will take more than a pandemic to keep them down. Their perfectly-smoked, tender, juicy barbecue and signature sauces have been winning awards and loyal customers since the beginning. But they also make praise-worthy burgers, hot wings, fresh salads —and of course, mouthwatering cookies to top it off. March Madness Special Right now they're offering a great March Madness take-home special. It feeds 12 people for $6.25 each. It includes one pound of beef brisket, one pound of pulled pork, 1 pound of pulled chicken, three quarts of sides, 12 buns and BBQ sauce for just $75. Amazing! Plus check out the website for different specials every day. Any of their scrumptious BBQ dinner plates make a great lunch or dinner choice. They include Texas toast, sides, smoked meat and their famous BBQ sauce. Or enjoy their famous homemade burgers, made with fresh beef patties seasoned and formed in-house daily. Or—back by popular demand—their black bean and veggie burgers. Historic B & B and Mission locations open Penguin Ed's historic B&B location on 230 S.
