Food for Thought Legacy
Award-winning writer David Hoppe and our own communications and program officer, Kristin Hess, are collaborating on this project. Together, they have traveled across the state, interviewing and photographing a lively cross-section of individuals -- from James Beard-nominated chefs to blueberry farmers, bison ranchers to activists working to feed the hungry -- all of whom are helping to make this such an extraordinary time in the history of Hoosier cuisine. Stay tuned for updates and excerpts from the road as David and Kristin explore Indiana's food ways.

“I tell our guys the restaurant has its place in society, in the sociological order of things. I didn’t realize it when I was a kid, but as I’m older I realize much, much more how what we do isn’t just serving food. People might have invented the wheel a whole lot sooner if they’d had a restaurant around there someplace.”
