HANG OUT WITH | ANDREA STALHEIM

As content strategist for Miner Brewing Company and Prairie Berry Winery, Andrea Stalheim is always busy covering the favorites (like Red Ass Rhubarb) and the newest (like this month’s Blue Suede Shoes) offerings. 605 asked Stalheim to give us a peek into her life when she’s not busy working on both brands.

A Sioux Falls Staple Since I can remember eating bagels, I’ve been eating Bagel Boy. It’s a Sioux Falls staple and one of my favorite places for a quick breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Yes, you can eat bagels anytime. Is it bad they know my name and my order? If you’ve never been, their everything bagel is everything.

Take a Hike When I need to stretch my legs and get in a good hike, Good Earth State Park is a great option. They have about six miles of trails that run along the Big Sioux River with pretty amazing views.

The Queen in Her World I can’t go a week without coffee and a quiche (or scone) from Queen City Bakery.

Walk it Out I have always loved living close to McKennan Park (and so do my dogs). I could walk them there every day and never get tired of it. Summer is especially fun when they have music on Monday nights.

Never Underestimate the Classics Sometimes the basics are the best. Crack’d Pot Restaurant is a local, down home cooking, no frills kind-of-place. You can sit right at the counter and get a hot cup of coffee from the same friendly face every day. If I need a hash brown and pancake fix, it’s at the top of the list.

Happy Hour Carpenter Bar is my go-to for happy hour. Hot Toddies by the fire in the winter, a bottle of rosé on the patio in the summer.

+I recently went vegan. Or as I like to call it, lazy vegan. + I’ve diagnosed myself with misophonia. I can’t stand the sound of people chewing. + I’m addicted to true crime shows. It’s my guilty little pleasure. + I played the trumpet in marching band. Go Lincoln High School! + My likeness was used for a sculpture my brother created for The Good Samaritan Society. I will live on forever in bronze.

Close to Home After work, you can find me at Miner Brewing Co. and Prairie Berry Winery Taproom. It’s a great place to bring people who are new to the craft beer or wine scene. We have so many different styles of beer or wine available that you’re sure to find something new to like. Plus, all of our products are made in South Dakota, which is pretty cool.

Wheelin’ and Dealin’ The first full weekend September through April you’ll find me at Benson’s Flea Market. You never know what you’re going to find until you see it. My rule: You can’t leave without at least buying one item.

Reach the Summit It just so happens the Summit League Basketball Tournament is happening this month at the Denny Sanford Premier Center. It’s the one time of the year I go crazy for sports. The Premier Center is a great venue to cheer on the University of South Dakota Coyotes!

Siblings Tatiana and Salvador Jaimes manage La Luna Café, which is owned by their parents, Edith and Salvador. Tatiana and Edith had been dreaming of opening their own eatery for almost three years, and they finally opened the doors to La Luna in mid-October.

Tatiana says she wanted to name the family business La Luna (Spanish for moon) to reflect the family’s heritage. “I came up with it and I just thought ‘that’s fun, the moon,’” she said. “I wanted it to be in Spanish so people can get an idea that this isn’t just an American coffee shop, there’s something behind it.”

The Jaimes work to make La Luna’s food delicious and innovative, while also transforming their eatery into a gathering space for the community and the thriving arts scene.

“My mom and I were the visionaries of La Luna, and we were set on having a very artistic place where we wanted to invite the community to showcase their talents while enjoying a gathering space that celebrates them,” said Tatiana. “That’s why we hang up a bunch of local art, and why we try to be inclusive in our menus to make sure that most people are able to eat here.”

Here’s more of what to expect from the menu.

Tatiana says she wanted to make the café a fun and welcoming environment for customers, and for folks living and working at the mixed-use Cascade at Falls Park building in downtown Sioux Falls.

One of the most popular drinks at La Luna is the Cha Cha Latte, which ties back to the Jaimes’ family’s El Salvadorean roots.

“It’s based off of a staple Hispanic drink that’s rice milk, very sweet and cinnamon-y,” said Tatiana. “We wanted to incorporate part of our heritage into what La Luna is. That’s why that is one of our favorites here.”

La Luna also serves espresso milkshakes, specialty lattes, and more unique coffee concoctions. Their house latte, La Luna Latte, is made with white chocolate and raspberry flavors. One other staple latte is the Ay Caramba! Latte, which is mixed with turmeric, ginger, and honey.

“When you taste it, you want to say ‘oh my gosh,’” said Salvador. “It’s not a typical coffee flavor, especially because of the ginger and turmeric mix. It makes it kind of a spicy drink, but it’s also sweet, due to the honey.”

La Luna offers a variety of waffles, including the Nutella Waff le.

“This is our most fun and interactive waff le, because you get your own syringe and you can decide to inject it like our chefs have done, or you can drizzle it on top, or just eat it right out of the syringe,” said Tatiana.

Besides waffles, the eatery features toast, open-face sandwiches, pizza, and more. The Jaimes’ worked with chef Micah Abraham to develop the menu.

LA LUNA STARTED OFFERING LUNCH FEATURES THIS WINTER, LIKE PINEAPPLE CHICKEN.

“We make the guacamole in-house, and we just chop up fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil leaves and drizzle a balsamic glaze on top,” she said.

They also serve Green Eggs & Ham! toast, featuring caramelized bacon with brown sugar, cheddar cheese as a base, sliced boiled eggs, and they mix the egg yolks with the house guacamole. Then it’s topped with house salsa and cilantro.

The Pollo Loco toast features chicken salad with a twist. Abraham infuses the mayonnaise with ginger and orange zest, mixes it with baked chicken, sets it on a light salad, and sprinkles it with candied pecans.

“It has very unique flavor profiles that surprisingly work together,” said Tatiana. “It has an interesting spice to it, but it’s not spicy.”

Edith’s idea for the Bacon Sunrise Breakfast pizza brings a fresh take on breakfast, with pizza dough, sour cream, caramelized onions, mozzarella cheese, a cracked egg on top, and bacon bits.

“I have it eight days a week,” joked Salvador.
