Cerro Gordo, like many mining towns of its time, encapsulates the spirit of the Old West through its food. While the culinary legacy of these miners may not only be marked by gourmet dishes, it undoubtedly reflects the tenacity and creativity of individuals who, in pursuit of riches, made homes amid survivalist meals. Through recreating these old recipes today, we continue to honor their stories and celebrate the journey of those who built a foundation for countless others on their quest for a better life.
