Food is headline news in Arkansas.
Arkansas Weekly announced the creation of the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame, a statewide program to recognize the legendary restaurants, proprietors and food-themed events across the state.
To be nominated as a restaurant, the business must be owned and operated in Arkansas and must have been in business for at least 25 years; food chains are not allowed.
A 13-person committee will choose the winners, except for the People's Choice Award, which will be voted on by the public.
