Hardesty, the leader of Indy's independent restaurants scene, died in June 2021.
The announcement comes nearly a year after Hardesty died following a year-long battle with leukemia.
He trained many of Indianapolis' best chefs — including Bluebeard’s Abby Merriss and Milktooth’s Jonathan Brooks — who contributed to a series of fundraisers before his death, and were among the roughly 500 that celebrated his life at a memorial weeks after.Dickerson said the effort to commemorate Hardesty's contributions to Indianapolis' food scene has been in the works since last year.
Hardesty was a proponent of keeping culinary careers accessible, without the need for costly formal training, she said.He taught plenty through volunteering, workshops at his spaces, taking on interns and mentoring in his kitchens, she said.
