We are excited to say that Little Rock's food scene is making waves.

This week, the Forbes Travel Guide Blog named Little Rock as one of its "Five Secret Foodie Cities," a list of unexpected cities that have joined foodie meccas like San Francisco, New York City and Los Angeles.

The guide highlights how Little Rock has changed from "a land dominated by chain restaurants and barbeque joints" to a place with a more defined palate, showcasing hot spots like Ashley's at the Capital Hotel, Zaza's Fine Salad + Wood-Oven Pizza, Ciao Baci and Whole Hog Cafe.

We agree!
