Everything looks kinda heavy and basic and bourbon glazed, but there’s two poke bowls. It’s just odd.

Where can I find the menu?

And truthfully, if the restaurant were in Fayetteville or Bentonville, I'd still think it was a little overpriced, but it would be nowhere near as incongruous as it being in Springdale and hyped as some sort of glamour lounge and charging those prices. Springdale is the kind of place where people move a few miles from their place in Springdale, so they can tell people they live in Rogers rather than Springdale. Fairly or unfairly, it's considered the armpit of NWA. 

I wonder if this had anything to do with Dillon getting a liquor license? I think he's had (multiple?) DUIs. It may be that Springdale has lower standards, or maybe the family has some juice in Springdale that they don't have in neighboring communities?

It's weird that his place is next to Amy's store and near a church. Does he think that men will stop in for a whiskey and a cigar while their wives shop? Does he think that people will drop by on their way home from church?

Amy’s husband strikes me as the kind of dude who likes to go out and hang out in bars and then one day decides “I should open my own!” despite having zero experience or training in the hospitality industry. That generally does not end well.

I heartily agree.  My brother-in-law runs a bunch of pubs, and it's hard work and doesn't always end well.  Mr. Amy's menu looked like he came up with a lot of hip food and threw it all together, so there's no rhyme or reason to it.  Pubs that actually specialize in something, so people know what they're getting when they go, seem to work better.

My OCD is so triggered by that unfinished "W." It's making me stabby.

The menu looks a lot like the one for the brewery here in town.  Their menu items include everything from bacon fat popcorn to a caprese salad to fish tacos to filet mignon. It’s weird but offers a variety for everyone.  Our town is a little smaller than Springdale (25,000) but it’s one of the most popular places in town.  I don’t think the menu is all that weird.  His clientele won’t think twice, they’ll just be looking for something that they think sounds good.

Thank you!  The food sounds good.  I’m just wondering if they’ll stay busy enough to be able to pay the chef.

Someone mentioned upthread that Dillon had several DUI’s.  If so, he sounds like he may have had an alcohol problem.  If so, the last place he needs to hang out is in a bar.

What would any of them know about regretting an abortion?  The sign, the inappropriate facial expressions...ugh!  Unless you’ve had an abortion, you don’t get to speak for anyone on this topic and even then, you should only speak for yourself.

Yes, fuck right off. Some may regret it (just like some regret making every kind of decision, including marriage) but having worked at Planned Parenthood I can promise you that many do not. They would be livid if I tried to take away any of their rights, and I feel the same about them trying to take away one of my legal rights. Stay out of women’s personal decisions!

Johannah AKA Hannie. It could also be four babies in a trench coat. 

[EAG46]

Can you imagine Robert Irvine [Restaurant Impossible] or Gordon Ramsay [To Hell and Back] trying to fix Dillon's place when it needs help? And having to deal with the whole Duggar family when they show up at the sound of cameras?  I just want to see an big angry Englishman go nuclear on these idiots so badly.

from the story page of wellingtons, Dillon is one of 5 partners. He is one of 3 Operations partners plus a general manager and a marketing partner.

I hate the tendency to tell lies to support their position.  Studies have shown that most women do not regret having an abortion.

I would like to invite these girls to sit down with the following:

- a woman who is pregnant as a result of a being raped

- a woman who is pregnant with a child who will have severe physical and mental handicaps and defects

- a pregnant women who she herself is mentally or physically disabled and unable to deal with pregnancy or a child

- a severely drug-addicted woman.

I would like them to explain to THEM why abortion is not a good choice.  I want to hear what they say....

I'm sorry if this triggers anyone but these people REALLY piss me off.

studies also show most women who go to Planned Parenthood do not go there for an abortion. Duggs and their ilk don't get people need options for health care.

Exactly, nor would they extend a hand to help any of these women after the baby is born. Defend in the womb, neglect once born.

The restaurant looks fine to me. I thought that the menu looked good.

I kind of thought cigars were over, but I don't really keep up on what millenial men are into these days, and I could see a market for this type of hyper-masculine environment.

On the other hand, does this guy have ANY experience in the restaurant business? Running a restaurant is an enormous amount of work and requires loooong hours. I've never really had the impression that Dillon had much of a work ethic.

Well, that Missional Wear Calvinist emporium I found sponsoring Jer's G3 conference the other day has a whole selection of cigar holders with various Calvin-friendly slogans and artwork. "Enjoy Calvinism" and "soli deo gloria," and so on. 

So apparently there's a cigar trend going among Calvinist-guys-who-think-they're-cool-and-hip. And since "Reformed/Calvinist guy" is an identity that, inexplicably to me, has now extended to Baptists, maybe that's a rising cigar trend they're seeing. 

https://www.missionalwear.com/products/cigar-holders

They also sell Calvinist flasks at Missional Wear. So the whiskey will work, too.

I would love to have the Photoshop skills to replace those signs with "My Body, My Choice" and "If You're Against Abortion, Don't Have One", then post the pictures all over the Internet.  

Those girls would certainly get a lot of attention.

I'd rather someone regret not having a child than regret having one.

Ha. I read that sign and, since I am blessed with an inability to tell any of these people apart, I automatically assumed those are the women who had abortions and regretted doing so.

Going to guess that’s not what they were going for?

If any of them are able to eventually escape this cult (doubtful) and start thinking for themselves, they are going to regret this photo. I said some real stupid stuff as a young “Christian”, I would die if those stupid things were plastered on the internet.

I'd pay to watch to watch that. I don't care which one they get Irvine or Ramsey it would be awesome to seem deal with the Duggar family showing up and being annoying. They'd put a nip in that so fast and I'd love to see them telling JB off about his "expertise". Plus I'm pretty sure Dillon's an idiot. So he probably could use all the help he can get from real experts.

I recognize only one of them as a Duggar. Who are the rest of them and which Duggar girl is that?

Johannah is the Duggar girl (far right). Not sure who the others are.

Where I'm from there's a bar next to every church, maybe that works for them as well. 

 

That group of ignorant little girls with zero agency in regards to their lives need to go home and stay away from grown up issues.

There are a lot of us who get brunch after church on Sundays.  Nothing like a bloody and eggs benedict after Mass, or french toast and a mimosa, followed by an afternoon nap.  Sundays the way God intended.

I’m hoping that when they grow up a little they realize that instead of helping their cause with that behaviour, they made a mockery of it. I get that critical thinking skills and self control come with maturity, but they need supervision for now. Where were their headships when this pic was taken and posted?

[leighdear]

So who explained to these girls the mechanics of getting pregnant anyway?  Do their parents all really give a comprehensive sex education lecture that illustrates how tab A fits onto slot B?  With illustrations?  

Do they even know what an abortion actually is?  An adult somewhere gave them those signs, so I imagine those asshats are just pleased as punch to see those girls posing for Jesus.  And the girls probably have almost no factual knowledge of the whole issue.  Idiots.

Jenny is at the top left of the picture, so I guess her and Hannie have both graduated from being thought of as kids. They are likely on the market discreetly now, ready to be auctioned off as soon as they hit 18.

Yes, Jennifer is in the stripes. The rest aren't Duggars. I think the one next to Jennifer is that Elizabeth girl who was discussed a few pages back. Supposedly Johannah's older BFF.

[awaken]

The look on hannie’s face next to that sign is offensive. I’d love to sit them down and ask what the actually know about the topic and how it all works. 

[Ijustwantsomechips]

I wonder if any of these fools or their parents would still feel this way about abortion if any of the daughters became pregnant from the rampant incest and sexual assault running through their cloistered, cult-like community?  It’s easy to pass judgment when you haven’t been in a tough spot, or you have and you think no one knows.

We might as well...The menu doesn't look much different from several places we have been to and enjoyed around here. The whiskey and cigars we could do without. I'd imagine that if he has a good chef and the other partners have good experience, it could actually do well. I agree with others who have said that if he has a history of problems with alcohol this might not be the wisest venture for him, but if it's more a matter of his having made some mistakes then grown up a bit, it might be OK. Hope so.

Cigars do seem to still be a thing...We gave our son-in-law a gift certificate recently to a somewhat similar sort of cigar bar so he could take a few friends and have an evening out. They had a wonderful time. Have to figure out a similarly tailored evening out for our daughter as well, but she's a bit harder to buy for as she's much more into staying home and reading when she gets a break.
