Description

Coming to Arkansas in 1996 with extensive Czech culinary and hospitality training, Bohm first worked at Bavarian Inn, operated by distant relatives in Eureka Springs. He moved to Little Rock in 1998 and did stints at Izzy's, 1620 Restaurant and So Restaurant-Bar.
There's a good-value bent to The Pantry's bistro menu, which includes salads, burgers, panini, seafood and a New York strip steak. Only the steak ($24.75) and three other dishes are priced above $15.
The restaurant's most intriguing fare (mostly made from scratch on the premises) has roots in Mitteleuropa - cheese spaetzle, potato pancakes, bratwursts, potato dumplings, red cabbage, goulash stew, sauerkraut, roasted pork shoulder and apple strudel.
