Show by FlavorsOfNWA

In this week’s edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we’re with Garyn and Mia Folden. Yes, we interviewed them back in 2024, our 23rd episode ever, but things have changed, and now, they’ve finally got their own spot, Cura Osteria in downtown Rogers. But first?!?! FOOD NEWS!! Casa Alejo is about to open in Fayetteville. We’ll hear from them! A golden ticket to the World Food Championships was given out this weekend to the winner of Premier Chef NWA in Rogers. We’ll hear from the winner! SoFresh is officially open in Rogers! The Sundry Hotel in downtown Springdale is scheduled to open in early July. We’ll tell you about the restaurant coming in, and when it’ll open! Dot’s Hot Chicken and Viet Buffet have served their last meals. In this week’s Flavors Flashback, we’re talking to the Mayorga family about starting the first Casa Alejo in Springdale! Garyn and Mia Folden worked their way up and through the restaurant world with an eye and a goal to being where they are now. From how Garyn started cooking in Nebraska to meeting his wife Mia in NWA, to doing pop-ups, to getting an education in New York, and getting their first regulars in a 6-seat provisions store, and to finally having their own place now at Cura Osteria in downtown Rogers. We walk the path with them and find out what Northern Italian food is, and no, it’s not chicken parm, and that’s on this edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast.
