In 2009 Lundy was the recipient of the Southern Foodways Alliance's Craig Claiborne Lifetime Achievement Award. During the award ceremony, John Egerton said she and Elizabeth Sims helped build a culinary renaissance in Asheville, North Carolina, but Lundy has noted that this is not accurate, her involvement in Asheville's dining scene has been insignificant. Lundy maintains an occasional blog at ronnilundy.com and is working on a new cookbook about sorghum.
