Owner Elihue Washington, Jr. talks about the history of Lassis Inn, one of Arkansas’s oldest (and best) restaurants, in our latest Eat Arkansas video collaboration with Greg Spradlin and Camp Friday Films. Washington also talks about the origin of the restaurant’s “no dancing” policy. The short story: people kept getting buckwild and breaking the sinks.
