You come for the dessert, and stay for the meal. That’s been echoed in Gentry for over 20 years when talking about the Wooden Spoon.
Cam and Jane Klassen started the restaurant 20+ years ago, in their mind, as sort of an obligation- you’ll hear that story. You’ll also hear about the building that the restaurant’s in. Part of it came a VERY long way. Cam tells us that story.
4 years ago, Justin and Emily Allen bought the Wooden Spoon from the Klassens. The Allens had no restaurant background, but it didn’t much matter at the time. You’ll hear the story about the transition, and the emotion involved once the wheels started to turn.
We talk to Justin and Emily Allen, as well as Cam and Jane Klassen about one of our region’s favorites, the Wooden Spoon, and that’s next right here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.
