Congratulations to the RFT’s Kristen Hinman

Beard AwardsWhile St. Louis foodies will have to wait another day to find out if Niche’s Gerard Craft brings home the 2009 James Beard Award for Best Chef Midwest, the media awards were dished out tonight and The Riverfront Times Kristen Hinman scored a St. Louis win for her magnificent article, The Pope of Pork.

As a fan of all things Missouri swine, I congratulate Kristen. Having met Russ Kremer myself at the small farm show in Columbia, MO last year, I knew her article was amazing the moment I finished reading it, and I am thrilled for her that she has been awarded such a prestigious accolade in the food world.

If you still haven’t read the article, I can’t imagine you need anymore incentive to go do it now.
