Finalists have been announced for the 2022 class of the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame, and the list includes an area restaurant.
More than 2,000 submissions were received from all 75 Arkansas counties for the sixth class of the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame. The list includes the Daisy Queen of Marshall in the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame category. Arkansans rallied around their favorites by nominating during the month of October in the following five categories:
* Arkansas Food Hall of Fame
* Proprietor of the Year
* Food-Themed Event
* People’s Choice
* Gone But Not Forgotten
Arkansas Heritage launched the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame program in 2016 to recognize Arkansas’ legendary restaurants, proprietors and food-themed events across the state.
Winners will be announced at a hybrid ceremony at Central Arkansas Library System’s Ron Robinson Theater on Monday.
The public is invited to attend the reception and induction ceremony virtually or in-person. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at ArkFoodHOF.com.
Winners will be selected by a committee of Arkansans who are historians, chefs, foodies and food authors. In addition to Hurst, committee members include Paul S. Austin, Jimmy Bryant, Chip Culpepper, Quantia “Key” Fletcher, Cindy Grisham, Montine McNulty, Rex Nelson, Tim Nutt, Kat Robinson, Stephanie Wade, David Ware and Stanley Young.
