An edible Local Hero is an exceptional individual, business, or organization making a positive impact on New Mexico’s food systems. These honorees nurture our communities through food, service, and socially and environmentally sustainable business practices. Edible New Mexico readers nominate and vote for their favorite local chefs, growers, artisans, advocates, and other food professionals in two dozen categories. Winners of the Olla and Spotlight Awards are nominated by readers and selected by the edible team. Over the course of the year, we invite these Local Heroes to share their stories and visions for the local foodshed on our podcast, 5-Minute Fridays.
Hosted by Stephanie and Walt Cameron
5-Minute Fridays
5-Minute Fridays is a podcast that highlights edible New Mexico’s Local Heroes. Every Friday, we share food stories served up with a side of levity—and no, no episode is actually five minutes. We have a blast while discovering new ways to think about and understand the food and drink that lands on our tables and getting to know the people who put it there.
Episodes drop every Friday.
