Springfield Style
Springfield Style was born from a love of good food, great company, and the comforting flavors of home. Founder Joshua grew up in Southeast Kansas, where food was always at the heart of his community. One dish in particular—Springfield Style Cashew Chicken—became his go-to comfort food. After spending ten years in Northwest Arkansas without that familiar taste, Joshua and his partner Tori launched Springfield Style to share this beloved regional dish and their favorite Chinese takeout flavors with others. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Springfield Style invites you to pull up a chair, enjoy a simple, delicious meal, and be part of a community that feels like home.
Our journey into the world of salteñas began with a desire to bring a taste of home to my fiancé, who’s from Bolivia. After perfecting the recipe, I surprised her with salteñas that reminded her of home. Seeing her joy and knowing there were many Bolivians in our community, we wanted to share this delicious pastry with everyone. Whether you’re familiar with Bolivian cuisine or trying it for the first time, we hope you enjoy these delicious treats and discover the rich culture behind them!
