If You Are A Foodie You Need To Know Bite NW Arkansas

About the Show:We got invited to a BiteNWA event a couple of years ago at the 8th St Market and we fell in love with the selection of great food coupled with a well-orchestrated event. We finally had a chance to get the folks from Bite NW Arkansas on the podcast to learn why and how they put on some of the most anticipated Foodie events here in Northwest Arkansas.  In addition to these amazing food events, the folks at Bite also coordinate and oversee the LPGA’s NWA Championship in Rogers, ARWe spoke to Lakyn Moren, Event Coordinator and Annye de Grand Fox, Event Director about the genesis of BiteNWA and how it grew out of the success of the NWA Championship which started in 2007.  The beauty of BiteNWA is that they’ve teamed up with several outstanding local organizations including the NWA Food Bank, Food Loops, Brightwater, and Black-Owned NWA. Listen to this episode and learn more about Bite NWA.
