Food brings communities together. A program launched in 2016 by the Department of Arkansas Heritage has brought this idea to reality via the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame. Arkansas food culture is honored as a staple of our state’s heritage via this program and each year, new inductees are added to a mix that includes culinary events, amazing foods, iconic restaurants, and standout chefs. In fact, there are five categories that are part of the annual induction including Arkansas Food Hall of Fame, Proprietor of the Year, Food-Themed Event, People’s Choice, and Gone But Not Forgotten. The program is a statewide effort to annually pay homage to the wonderful culinary heritage of our state. To check out this year's inductees, visit arkansasheritage.com/Food-Hall-of-Fame/Main.
