2021 Arkansas Food Hall of Fame finalists in a Facebook Live post today.
Stacy Hurst, secretary of the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism made the announcements. Nominations were received from all 75 counties, and a total 2,014 nominations came in, a record for this program, Hurst said. Winners will be announced on Feb. 22 in the first ever virtual Arkansas Food Hall of Fame event.
“It’s important we recognize the fact that the past year was particularly hard for everyone in the hospitality industry, including restaurant workers and those who work so hard to create events for the general public to attend. We feel compelled to celebrate them even more this year for their perseverance and dedication,” Hurst said.
