Arkansas Foodways Dinner Series: Pre-Colonial Arkansas (Quapaw)
This event is no longer on sale.
Explore Arkansas’s heritage foodways with this unique dinner series that features local chefs who take inspiration from our past. The debut dinner dives into the history, culture and cuisine of Arkansas’s first people, the Quapaw Tribe.
Gilbert Alaquinez, executive chef of 42 Bar and Table, and Chef Michael Selig, director of Food, Beverage and Events, will take inspiration from Quapaw food and table traditions, focusing on the ingredients that create a Quapaw meal, to prepare a modern interpretation for our dinner.
Guests will begin with cocktails and a look at the Native American Gallery before being seated at a communal harvest table. This shared dinner will be an immersive way to learn more about the Quapaw’s heritage foodways.
