Case Dighero

Case Dighero is an influential component of the culinary community of Arkansas and the High South. An active proponent of the NWA food movement, Dighero owns the project based company, “Edible Culture” that focuses on culinary insights through the lens of writing, television, and entertainment; he is also the co-host of Soul Men of the High South podcast, promoting the food culture and history of the Natural state. Prior to starting EC, he served as Director of Culinary at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, helping to define the philosophy of “High South” for the museum’s culinary department.
Joining the Crystal Bridges’ team in 2010, Dighero established the museum’s mantra of modern American comfort food with an emphasis on traditions that hail from the “High South” region of the Ozarks. His “edible responsibility” approach demonstrates a commitment to promoting and celebrating local food culture, featuring fresh ingredients from the Bentonville Farmers’ Market and other food artisans in Northwest Arkansas. The robust cuisine of Crystal Bridges not only nourishes, but also tells a story—inspired by the artworks, natural surroundings, and fascinating regional history connected to the museum. .
