Jinger and Felicity Visit Arkansas

This week, Jinger and Felicity spent time in Arkansas with the Duggars. Growing up in a large clan makes it especially difficult to live so far away from everyone, so Jinger always enjoys having a chance to get back to Arkansas and hang with her family.

While there, she was able to introduce her daughter to MarketPlace Grill, a favorite Duggar restaurant. The family ordered a chocolate mess, but don't worry, Jinger didn't allow Felicity to try any.

Justin Through the Years

Justin Duggar 2018

It’s no secret that the Duggars love MarketPlace Grill, especially the chocolate mess sundaes. It only takes one glance at this dessert to tell why. They’re certainly not the healthiest things on the planet, but they sure are tasty.

Some of the Duggars select other restaurants for their birthday meals, but MarketPlace is a popular choice. We happen to have photos of Justin Duggar and his birthday chocolate mess from the past three years, and we thought it would be fun to share them. He sure has matured since his 14th birthday!

Duggar Birthday Tradition

 Justin Duggar, November 2017

MarketPlace Grill is one of the Duggars' favorite places to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, first dates, and other milestones. Yesterday was Justin Duggar's golden birthday, and he chose to take part in a Duggar birthday tradition. Any guesses as to what that might be? (The picture above is a bit of a spoiler.)

As part of his 15th birthday celebration, Justin ordered the chocolate mess sundae at MarketPlace. Over the years, the Duggars have indulged in quite a few chocolate messes. Not only is it a Duggar favorite, but it's known throughout Arkansas as being one of the state's tastiest desserts. The glass is actually dipped in chocolate--what's not to love about that?

For those who have asked if the chocolate mess is "forced" on the Duggar kids or if they are "allowed" to choose a different means of celebration, we assure you that they are free to select a different restaurant. In fact, we have posted many photos of such birthday celebrates.

To see how Justin has changed this year, check out this photo of his 14th birthday chocolate mess:

Two weeks ago, Spurgeon Seewald celebrated his second birthday with his first taste of chocolate mess. (Good excuse for Jessa and Ben to order their favorite dessert...after giving Spurgeon a few bites, of course.)

Spurgeon enjoyed his taste, although his reaction was a bit subdued. How many choco-holics do we have out there who think they would enjoy this dessert?

Duggar Valentine's Dates

Happy Valentine's Day! Both Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and Ben and Jessa Seewald went on Valentine's dates to Marketplace Grill, one of the Duggars' favorite restaurants. Both couples ordered the Chocolate Mess, a signature dessert item at Marketplace.

Fun fact: Jessa and Ben went to Marketplace Grill on their first date in September 2013 and again on August 13th, 2014, the evening before they got engaged.
