A resurgence of COVID-19 is wreaking new havoc on the restaurant industry but that’s not stopping some of the toughest, long-standing Native establishments from closing. Plus, Mexico’s new 50 peso bill celebrates Indigenous food and the sacred salamander. And we’ll learn more about U.S. Department of Agriculture’s initiative with a handful of Native non-profits to promote food sovereignty. Those are among the topics covered in our regular feature “The Menu” hosted by our resident foodie, Andi Murphy.

Heather Dawn Thompson – U.S. Department of Agriculture Office of Tribal Relations
Isai Saleen – chef in Albuquerque.
