Lost Creek Farm: Amy Dawson & Mike Costello
Talk Show, Educational
On this episode of State of Minds, Tony Caridi sits down with Amy Dawson and Mike Costello, the husband-and-wife team behind Lost Creek Farm, who are redefining what West Virginia food means.
Known internationally after being featured by Anthony Bourdain on Parts Unknown, Amy and Mike have built one of the country's most sought-after farm-to-table dining experiences by celebrating Appalachian traditions, heirloom recipes, and the stories that connect generations. From chow-chow and salt-rising bread to vinegar pie and foraged ingredients, every dish they serve reflects the resilience, creativity, and hospitality that define West Virginia.
Tony explores how Lost Creek Farm became a destination for visitors from around the world, why food is one of the most powerful ways to preserve history, and how forgotten family recipes are helping reshape the narrative of Appalachian cuisine. Along the way, Amy and Mike share the inspiration behind their Farm & Forage Supper Club, the lasting impact of Anthony Bourdain's visit, and their mission to ensure West Virginia's culinary traditions are passed on to future generations.
If you've ever wondered what makes West Virginia food unique—or how a simple recipe can carry generations of history—this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
