![]() Clark wanted to make it more approachable, so he used cheddar, avocado, fried shallots and a zesty Sriracha mayo on a Boulevard brioche bun. While Brave has had a chicken sandwich before, the prior version featured Marsala sauce. Smoked salmon and apricot glaze give the plate a well-balanced bite that is going to garner more than a few fans.Īlso on the sandwich menu is a new grilled chicken sandwich called Chicken and Cheddar. ![]() The bacon is fantastic and is featured throughout Brave’s lunch and dinner menu. Clark then adds his newest contribution to Brave: house-made bacon. This is a dish inspired by Clark’s time at Heifer International and features Boulevard Bread Company’s country white toasted with camembert cheese. The new Brave lunch menu is divided into salads, sandwiches and what Clark calls “Main Courses.” Many diners are going to opt for something quick and easy from the sandwich menu, like the new Smoked Salmon. “And then I looked at what people were asking for, and I looked at what I had done in other places I’ve worked and knew would work here.” “Our mantra is using really good ingredients and machining it as little possible, and that was the base of my approach,” said Clark. Clark says he drew on Brave’s traditions as well as other inspirations to create the new menu. His updated menu represents the first time in years Brave New Restaurant has altered its lunch lineup. ![]() Lunch service is helmed by Matt Clark, formerly of kBird and the much beloved Waffle Wagon. ![]() That’s what is happening at Brave New Restaurant, where Peter Brave’s team is redesigning its guest experience, starting with a vibrant new lunch menu. But sometimes those reasons don’t hold water, especially when a venerated classic is willing to mix up the menu and give its guests, both veterans and newcomers, a fresh perspective on what it has to offer. The explanations for doing so are easy and, in some cases, accurate: the menu hasn’t changed in years, you’ve tried everything there, it’s only being supported by older diners now, etc. It can be easy to overlook Little Rock’s legacy restaurants, the ones that paved the way for our current food scene and are still going strong. ![]()
