“Everyone eats. There's so much beauty in realizing that humaneness and that oneness.” This is the ethos of Luke Zahm. The James Beard-nominated chef, host of the hit PBS show Wisconsin Foodie, and owner of the widely acclaimed Driftless Café in Viroqua, Wisconsin, believes food is a powerful force for connection. Here, he opens up about breaking down colonial mindsets around food, and his drive to learn, unite, and share the histories behind the ingredients he's using to create a new Midwestern food movement.
We want to share with you our list of Local Farmer Producers where you can find access to high quality food at this time.
