FORT SMITH – One of Fort Smith’s most iconic restaurants will be the newest member of the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame. Ed Walker’s Drive In on South Towson was announced as a choice for the prestigious honor earlier this week.

New members include:

Cattleman’s Steak House of Texarkana (Miller County)

Ed Walker’s Drive-In & Restaurant of Fort Smith (Sebastian County)

Murry’s Restaurant of Hazen (Prairie County)

“Arkansas is filled with great food, great food traditions and great people who lovingly prepare all that food for the rest of us,” the Arkansas Department of Heritage said. “The Arkansas Food Hall of Fame is the perfect place to honor our unique foods, legendary restaurants, remarkable cooks and influential food entrepreneurs, as well as culturally significant festivals and events.”

Ed Walker’s Drive-In has been serving diners since 1943.
