Spread the love

Good morning,!
We are thrilled to announce that we have been recognized for the fifth consecutive year with a James Beard award. It’s important to us to share how you can help us create a new category to support indigenous-owned and operated businesses that specialize in indigenous cuisine. This new category will contribute to an alliance for what we call “New American cuisine.” We have several chefs in mind, such as Sean Sherman and Justin Pioche, who are on the same path as us, and we’d like to give them recognition as well. I’ve included a video that explains how to create this new category and how to submit our restaurant for this award.

Suggested category:
Best Emerging American Restaurant 2024 – Northern New Mexico
Excellence Award in Indigenous Cuisine 2024

Redefining American Cuisine

A Culinary Movement by Native American Chefs

We are among a new alliance of Native American Chefs who are leading a culinary movement that is reshaping and Redefining American Cuisine. With a deep respect for their ancestral heritage, these chefs are blending traditional pre-colonial ingredients from North, Central, and South America, infusing them with a modern twist that is capturing the essence of the present while honoring the past.

At the heart of this movement is the key phrase “Redefining American cuisine,” which encapsulates their mission to transform the way we perceive and experience food. By delving into the rich tapestry of indigenous ingredients that were cherished by their forebears, these chefs are crafting a new narrative for American gastronomy.
