About this episode

Mariah Gladstone discusses Indigenous food advocacy and her experience on Chopped.

Fresh off her appearance on Chopped , Mariah Gladstone of Indigikitchen joins Rebecca and Shannon for a conversation rooted in food, culture, and connection. A Blackfeet and Cherokee food advocate, Mariah is on a mission to bring Indigenous ingredients and knowledge back to the table, blending tradition, sustainability, and a whole lot of flavor. In this episode, recorded during her visit to Great Falls for a live cooking demo, we dive into her experience competing under pressure on Chopped , explore the stories behind Native foods, and get her take on Montana's most iconic berry (spoiler: it might not be the one you expect). From plant knowledge to modern kitchens, this conversation is equal parts educational and delicious.
