On this week’s edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas Podcast, we have the definitive storyteller of Ozark Culinary History on with us, and she’s a very gifted storyteller at that, her name is Chef Erin Rowe.
But first in Food News, we talk about the soft opening of Toca in downtown Springdale. General Manager Samantha Chavez will give us the rundown of what kind of restaurant they are. We also have an update on former Proof restaurant Lasang Pinoy as they plan to open in their new place soon. Finally, congrats to the Botanical team, as they've added to their portfolio. We’ll explain.
They say that a cat lives 9 lives. Chef Erin Rowe is living all 9 right now once you see what she’s done and what she’s doing.
From teaching, to selling art, to culinary school, to singing, to giving food tours- we get to it all with a special focus on Ozark Culinary History, where she wrote what’s basically textbook for it, titled: An Ozark Culinary History: Northwest Arkansas Traditions from Corn Dodgers to Squirrel Meatloaf.
She tells us some of her favorite stories, interviews and recipes from the book- she’s such a great storyteller that I got lost on my questions a few times as I got completely sucked in. You will too, and we’ll hear from her next here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas...
