Nominations for the Division of Arkansas Heritage’s 2024 Arkansas Food Hall of Fame opened Monday.

A news release stated that the nominations will run from Jan. 22 through Feb. 29 with different categories recognizing culturally significant restaurants, proprietors, and food-themed events celebrating food heritage across Arkansas.

“Everyone has a story to tell about food,” said Marty Ryall, director of the Division of Arkansas Heritage. “In Arkansas, food is at the heart of our heritage. Whether it’s a meal prepared at home with family or a special dining experience, Arkansas’ food stories run deep. We are encouraging the public to share their stories with us by nominating for the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame.”
