One of EE's favorites from Ella's is The Chancellor, a french dip sandwich made with sauteed prime rib, caramelized onions and provolone cheese. The Chancellor used to have mushrooms, but because Chancellor White is allergic to them, they were taken off. Word is that when Dr. David Gearhart takes over the 'shrooms are back via his request!

Word on the Street

Have you ever heard of the “Bloody Corner”? On April 18, 1863, the Civil War finally reached the city of Fayetteville when the Confederate's First Arkansas Calvary led by "Old Tige" Cabell challenged the Union's First Arkansas Calvary for control of the city. The bloody battle that ensued pitted neighbor against neighborhood, with the Federal forces eventually able to repel the attacking Rebels. Much of the fighting took place on the lawn in front of the historic Headquarters House located at the corner of College and Dickson, known as "Bloody Corner." We bet you’ve been there, and you didn’t even know it was a landmark in American history!
