Nancy Ancrum

Nancy Ancrum has combined her love of food and her cultural curiosity with a 30-year journalism career. In other words, she is nosy -- and likes to eat. Her radio pieces look for food in unusual places -- the NBA championships, for instance -- and reveal what place food has in people's lives besides at the end of a fork.
 
She writes for food section of the Miami Herald, where she also is a member of the editorial board. She covers municipal governments, education and social services. 
 
Nancy wrote The Cultural Kitchen column for many years and is a member of Slow Food International. 
 
All of this is in keeping with her longstanding philosophy: The more we know about the foods we eat, the more we know about ourselves and each other. And though Nancy is passionate about flavors from around the world, she'd walk to the ends of the earth for a bowl of good shrimp and grits.
