The New Mexico History Museum (NMHM) is looking for stories about notable New Mexico restaurants for a new exhibition showcasing the state’s historic or iconic eateries. And it wants your firsthand account of memorable meals you’ve had in places as varied as family-owned cafés and 1960s drive-ins to high end landmarks and everybody’s favorite hole-in-the-wall.
The project is part of a multi-year initiative at NMHM which will explore the influences that shaped the state’s diverse food heritage. The inaugural exhibit, co-curated by Chef Johnny Vee is entitled, Forks in the Road: Notable New Mexico Restaurants, is scheduled to open this summer.
"New Mexico’s food goes far beyond the sizzle of a chile pepper," NMHM Executive Director, Billy G. Garrett, said in a news release. "The food we prepare and share in New Mexico is the product of centuries of tradition, contributions from people all along the farm to table continuum, continuous innovation, and a belief in the enduring value of family and community.”
To share a story, call (623) 335-BITE (2483). Be prepared to provide your irst name, the restaurant’s name and city or community, the approximate date of your memory, and what you remember.
By calling and leaving a message, people consent to the use of their recording in the Forks in the Road exhibit or other programming by NMHM. All recordings will remain anonymous and there is no guarantee that a recording will be selected. Recorded stories may be transcribed and edited by the Museum for a variety of uses in future exhibitions, research, publications, and online venues. For more information, click here.
