FALLING FOR FOOD

LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER Alana Snyder PUBLISHER Alana Snyder DIRECTOR OF SALES AND MARKETING John Snyder ART DIRECTOR Liz Painter EDITORIAL ASSISTANT Kyle Determan PUBLISHING COPY-EDITOR Emily Swan WRITERS Ah yes, the holidays have arrived.

Andrea Conover Tracy Kirby

And before presents are ripped open and Amazon rejoices yet again (please shop locally when you can), it's time for food and beverages.

Sion Lidster

Let's just say I'm not mad when it's time to plan our food and drink issue, because we get to visit with local cooking experts like Ashley Berry from Someone's in the Kitchen in Rapid City and Kirsten Gjesdal from Carrot Seed Kitchen Co. in Brookings, who make everyone's kitchen look like they know what they're doing.

Kelly Nelson

Not to mention our (delicious) cover story. We initially knew of Staci Perry and Erin Zieske through their drool-worthy Instagram accounts - Perry using her talents and sweet heart to create baked goods, and Zieske combining her handy work with her quirky personality to make unique dishes. Both photo shoots ended with art director Liz Painter and me waddling out of their homes, stuffed to the brim.

Morgan Matzen Claudia Miller Natalie Slieter INTERNS Yany Avelar CIRCULATION Jessica Hawk Justin Regan Corali Richards Cameron Stalheim ADVERTISING INQUIRIES

Need we not forget, though, that as you peruse our first holiday season issue, that the season is about being thankful and breaking bread with friends and family.

(605) 274-1999 ex. 2

What am I thankful for, you ask? I'm thankful for 605's office team, our community, friends and family, and that I got to interview 98Â° for a 605magazine.com story about their November 10 concert at Grand Falls Casino.

CORRESPONDENCE

Yes, it was the Joey Fatone of the group I spoke with, but it was still magical.

contact@605magazine.com

Until the next time, may your bellies be full of goodness, and that you take time to cheers to love, happiness, and being kind to one another. Happy Thanksgiving month.

MEET THE Artist SHARON WEGNER-LARSEN

TYPE OF ARTIST: PAINTER, ILLUSTRATOR, GRAPHIC DESIGNER

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

SIOUX FALLS PAINTER/ILLUSTRATOR SHARON WEGNER-LARSEN IS THE CREATOR BEHIND OMEGAFAUNA. DRAWING SINCE SHE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO HOLD A CRAYON, HER WORKS FREQUENTLY INCORPORATE VIBRANT COLORS, ATMOSPHERIC WASHES OF PAINT, AND DETAILED LINEWORK. INSPIRED BY NATURE, SCIENCE, AND MYTHOLOGY, YOU CAN CHECK OUT HER EXHIBIT, FLIGHT EPHEMERAL, AT EXPOSURE GALLERY & STUDIOS THAT ALSO FEATURES WORKS BY ILLUSTRATOR AND GRAPHIC DESIGNER MOLLY O’CONNOR. PURCHASE EVEN MORE OF HER ART AT THE UPCOMING ARTMART NOVEMBER 25 FROM 10 A.M. - 5 P.M. AT SHRIVER’S SQUARE.

THE NAME OMEGAFAUNA STEMMED FROM… an abstract description of lifelong interests that I explore in my work. Fauna is animal life. Omega is one of those wonderfully loaded words that means different things to different people, but is commonly used as "last" or "final." It also sounds a bit sci-fi or mythological. I started using this invented word casually as an online moniker many years ago and it stuck. I WOULD DESCRIBE MY STYLE AS… illustrative and vibrantly colorful. I typically combine detailed linework with

1 6 \\\\\\\\\ N O V E M B E R

atmospheric washes of paint. Sometimes I work with just the inked line drawings and later add color digitally. MY LOVE FOR ART STARTED… at the very beginning, since I can't remember a time before I loved drawing. My parents would give me a big chunk of continuous feed computer paper (I'm dating myself here) and I'd just draw and draw, filling foot after foot of it with jumping dolphins and gnashing dinosaurs. My reference materials were stacks of Ranger Rick and Zoobooks magazines, science books, and Lisa Frank swag. WHAT INSPIRES MY WORK IS… the wonders of the natural world around us, combined with the limitlessness of human imagination. A MOMENT IN MY CAREER THAT STANDS OUT IS… when a father randomly messaged me on one of my online shops to excitedly tell me that he bought a T-shirt with my T. Rex design on it for his young daughter. ANOTHER LOCAL ARTIST THAT MOVES ME IS… Marc Wagner. His work is always fun, surreal, and surprising in the best ways. His kindness, work ethic, and energy make him a leader-by-example in the local arts community. A PROJECT I’M CURRENTLY WORKING ON IS… a series of jackalope

illustrations, including seasonal themes for the upcoming holiday season. YOU CAN SEE MY WORK AT… art shows and events around Sioux Falls, and online at my website. THE TIME OF DAY I WORK BEST AT IS… the first part of the morning and late at night, when the world tends to be a bit quieter. SOME MUSEUMS AND PLACES THAT GET IDEAS GOING FOR PIECES ARE… the Museum of Geology at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City and the Museum @ Black Hills Institute in Hill City. I've never met a museum I didn't love, but those are my favorite South Dakota stops. Traveling with me is a mad dash from art museum to science museum — and any other museum I can fit into a trip! I also collect ideas while taking walks outside and observing nature. The changing colors of the sky, the shapes of trees, and the busy scurrying of fall squirrels are all inspiration. ONE OF MY FAVORITE SPOTS IN SOUTH DAKOTA IS… Dinosaur Park in Rapid City. Like many South Dakotans, generations of my family have been captured in photos through the years at the feet of the grand green dinos, brushing wind-blown hair from their eyes to enjoy the view.

A PLACE YOU CAN FIND ME OFTEN IN SIOUX FALLS IS… McKennan Park on a long walk with my husband. A GUILTY PLEASURE THAT I ENJOY INDULGING IN LOCALLY IS… the #21 at Azteca. I'd eat there every day if I could. MY FAVORITE PART ABOUT CREATING A PIECE IS… everything! I enjoy the entire process thoroughly! But if I had to choose just one part, it would be when a piece starts coming together towards the end. Even though it happens very gradually, there's always a particular moment of realization for me when the piece leaves a washy ugly phase and transforms into something more polished. That moment still gives me a rush every time. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT OMEGAFAUNA.COM.

SEARCHING FOR THE PERFECT GIFT TO GET THAT FAVORITE CO-WORKER OR WINE ENTHUSIAST IN YOUR LIFE? SOUTH DAKOTA WINE: A FRUITFUL HISTORY, BY CO-AUTHORS DENISE DEPAOLO AND KARA SWEET, CAPTURES THE ESSENCE OF THE STATE’S WINE INDUSTRY AND THE FAMILIES WHO BUILT IT. 605 HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHAT WITH THE VINO CONNOISSEURS. WHAT TOPICS ARE COVERED IN THE BOOK?

DENISE DEPAOLO: We discuss the migration of settlers to this region before statehood and the winemaking traditions they brought along, including family stories from wineries like Prairie Berry Winery and Valiant Vineyards. KARA SWEET: We also talk a lot about the special grapes that can grow here in South Dakota’s cold climate, and how these grapes were created by science. WHAT INSPIRED YOU BOTH TO WRITE ABOUT SOUTH DAKOTA’S WINE?

DD: The publisher reached out and asked if I knew anyone who would be interested in writing a book on the topic. It is part of Arcadia Publishing’s American Palate series. Kara

WHERE YOU CAN BUY THE BOOK

Zandbroz Variety Barnes & Noble Front Porch (S.F.) Costco Firehouse Wine Cellars Amazon

and I immediately jumped at the chance.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PREDICTIONS?

KS: This project was just another way for me to promote the growing wine industry in South Dakota, a topic which I believe and am incredibly passionate about.

DD: I’m hoping to see more South Dakota wines on lists at bars and restaurants. They’ve embraced local beer – now it’s time to get behind local wine and spirits.

WHY IS OUR WINE INDUSTRY SO NEW?

KS: To see the most success, the wineries need to cooperate to build their industry and make sure they don’t focus on competing against each other.

KS: Laws had to be passed to make commercial wine making legal, and then the grapes and knowledge of how to make wine had to follow. A lot has happened in 20 years. WHAT MAKES SOUTH DAKOTA WINE UNIQUE?

DD: Since the industry is so new, many of the original winery owners are still around. We spent many weekends during the summer of 2016 visiting wineries, attending wine festivals, and meeting halfway to work together. (Sweet is from Rapid City and DePaolo is from Sioux Falls.) KS: First-hand stories of family history. We were so upset when, a little over a month after we submitted our final manuscript, one of the leading pioneers, Ralph Vojta, passed away. I was so happy to have so many stories from him and his daughter, Sandi.

ARE THERE UPCOMING EVENTS FOR THE BOOK?

DD: On November 30, I’ll be speaking about the book and South Dakota wine at Siouxland Heritage Museums’ History Happy Hour at the Pettigrew Museum. Also, I will be selling books that day at Fresh Produce’s Kiosk Thursday. KS: I will be doing a holiday event in my hometown December 1 in Newcastle, Wyoming, eight miles from the South Dakota border, but a proud part of the Black Hills region.

DINNER AND A SHOW: OLDE TOWNE DINNER THEATRE BY KELLY NELSON

“THERE AREN'T MANY PLACES IN SOUTH DAKOTA WHERE YOU CAN GET DINNER AND ENTERTAINMENT WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR TABLE.”

TWENTY MINUTES DIRECTLY SOUTH OF SIOUX FALLS RESIDES THE OLDE TOWNE DINNER THEATRE, TUCKED INTO THE TOWN OF WORTHING AND HOME TO ONE OF THE ONLY PLACES IN THE STATE THAT SERVES ITS GUESTS DINNER AND A SHOW.

1 8 \\\\\\\\\ N O V E M B E R

Before Olde Towne Dinner Theatre inhabited the building in 1982, the over 100-year-old structure was once home to the town grocery and furniture store, finally maturing into a dinner theatre for the arts. Once the building was reimagined as Olde Towne Dinner Theatre, its mission became one to provide people a fine arts and dining experience that is affordable and high quality. Their goal is to “enrich, entertain, and educate the Sioux Falls region through performance, benevolence, and volunteer opportunities.” For 35 years, they have done just that. As a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization, Olde Towne Dinner Theatre is for the community and of the community. Actors, cast, and crew are volunteers, as well

as those that serve and bartend, creating an environment that is built on the goodness of hearts and a passion for the arts. Former executive director Kristy Kayser (who has recently been replaced by Casey Ring) elaborates on the unique experience guests have at Olde Towne, describing it as a place for a “catch all date.” “There aren't many places in South Dakota where you can get dinner and entertainment without leaving your table,” said Kayser. “Not only are you giving yourself a well deserved night out, you're supporting your community arts programs and are allowing us to do what we do best: feed you with fun and entertainment.”

For the dinner-and-a-show experience, guests receive a full four-course meal and production for $42 per person. For the dessert-only matinee option, guests receive dessert and a matinee show for $20. Currently, Olde Towne is wrapping up their Fall Show and beginning to prepare their Holiday Show, the comedy A Tuna Christmas, starting November 30 and running through January. Along with each show transition will come a menu change (updated information can be found on their website). “We always start off our meals with dinner rolls and soup. Shortly after soup is a delicious salad with our homemade candied pecans,” explained Kayser. “Your meat options are always beef, chicken, pork, or fish. The meat always comes with two sides, usually a starch and a vegetable. Our desserts are served at intermission and are always delicious.” The rotation for the season is: a Fall Show, Holiday Show, Winter Show, and Spring Show every year. The quality experience many have encountered at Olde Towne is one that continues to keep the shows running, the food served, and the people coming back (their website estimates they see around 8,500 attendees annually). Further, Kayser admires Olde Towne as a unique part of culture in the state. “Olde Towne is an important piece of the arts culture in South Dakota,” said Kayser. “Being one of the only yearround dinner theaters in the area has given South Dakotans and Iowans the opportunity to become regular patrons of a dinner theater when traveling more than four hours might hinder that opportunity.” PLAN YOUR NIGHT OUT ON THE TOWN WITH OLDE TOWNE DINNER THEATRE BY CALLING (605) 372-4653 OR VISITING OLDETOWNETHEATRE.ORG.

A GRADUATE FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED CALIFORNIA CULINARY ACADEMY, CHEF BOB ALLEN PUT HIS TALENTS TO USE AT MANY TOP RESTAURANTS OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS, INCLUDING POSTRIO IN SAN FRANCISCO AND ROY’S IN MAUI. WHEN HE’S NOT PREPPING BEHIND WOLFGANG PUCK ON HIS FOOD NETWORK SHOW (TRUE STORY), HE’S THE BRAINS AND TALENT BEHIND THE UNIQUE DISHES OF ODE TO FOOD & DRINKS. HERE IS A PEEK INTO HIS LIFE OUTSIDE OF THE KITCHEN IN SIOUX FALLS. You can find me exploring the bike trails [1] often. I was ecstatic when they completed the loop. In my younger days when I had more free time, I enjoyed triathlons. Now biking is enough to keep me satisfied! 2

I love watching my daughter and all her performances she’s a part of. Next up is Seussical Jr. with DAPA and the Nutcracker at the Orpheum Theatre [2]. I’m obsessed with old school pinball at the Western Mall [3]. My kids will learn to see just how awesome it is one game at a time. Kayaking is always a good time. There are so many great places nearby, including right outside of Cherapa Place, and it’s such an easy escape. While it’s not exactly surfing or sailing in Hawaii where I used to live, it gets me on the water! I love seeing all of the smiling faces of guests enjoying their meal at Ode to Food & Drinks [4], like our pan-seared fresh sea scallops, served atop prosciutto and mascarpone

stuffed herb crepes with a lemon thyme pan sauce, and a side of grilled asparagus. You can find me hitting the 18th Amendment [5] for football Sunday. Go Niners! I'm obsessed with watching live music [6] any time, any place. Foo Fighters on November 11 at the Denny Sanford Premier Center can’t get here soon enough! I love barbecuing while camping or in my backyard. And also while tailgating. Yep, my Weber Grill and I are in a serious relationship.

It’s always fun in South Dakota to hop in the car and go on a random road trip. When I can, I’m always down for sleeping in. It doesn’t happen often with two kids.

AT HOME

DASCHLE AND WHITNEY LARSEN

hen you look around Daschle and Whitney Larsen’s house, it’s hard to believe this is their “starter home.” The four-bedroom, three-bathroom located on the east side of Sioux Falls is a feast for the eyes with patterned wallpaper, pops of color, and mismatched furniture. The couple (she’s a Nurse Practitioner at Vivaz Medical Spa and he’s a commercial and personal lines producer at McKinneyOlson Insurance) shares their eclectic home with son, Rivers, and dog, Morris (or “Mo-Mo”), and decorate by their mantra: “Does it make me happy?”

2 4 \\\\\\\\\ N O V E M B E R

“I LIKE TO DO PHOTOGRAPHY AS A HOBBY, SO THE ONLY TIME I’M AT THE COMPUTER IS EDITING PHOTOS.” – WHITNEY

HOME + LIVING

O BUILDING A HOME As newlyweds, the Larsens lived downtown-style in the Harvester Building. “It was nice being downtown. Our loft actually was a little bigger than our main floor in this house,” recalled Whitney. “It will be much different and will double in size when we finish our basement, which is close to being done. We'll have a bar and more rooms.”

THE LARSENS MARK ON THEIR MAP WHERE THEY HAVE TRAVELED AROUND THE WORLD, WHICH INCLUDES ITALY, IRELAND, THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, AND MEXICO.

The couple decided to move to the east side into their first home three years ago with their plans to start a family. “With a starter home it’s nice, because [builders] give you a range of template options, so it wasn’t too overwhelming,” she said. “I think the main places we went with upgrades were flooring, light fixtures, and vanities.” Looking around the open kitchen, dining area, and living room, it’s noticeable right away that there are several styles in design. Whitney explained, “I love mid-century modern, but I like the farmhouse, and I like cottage. I mix it all together.” The Larsen’s kitchen exemplifies that with mid-century bar stools, a farmhouse island, and (super unique) cottage cabinets fused with modern cabinets. I pointed to above the cabinets, “Where are those adorable dishes from?” She smiled, “World Market.” Whitney explained their household has many (and we mean many) décor items from World Market, Urban Outfitters, and – the “most dangerous part of living near Dawley Farm [Village]” – Target.

“[TEXT ART] IS A GOOD EVERYDAY REMINDER. EVEN IN MY BATHROOM I TRY TO PICK OUT THINGS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL TO LIVE BY.” - WHITNEY

“Target is dangerous,” she said. “It’s hard not to leave with a cart full of stuff.” After taking in more of the atmosphere, it was interesting that most of the furniture – if not all of it – doesn’t match. This includes the dining room chairs. “I don’t like when things match too much,” she said. “I feel like when you match, it doesn’t match, and the more it doesn't match, the more it flows together.” Even the body of the kitchen island is split into two different colors – the front grey and the back white. The cabinets are also two-toned into white and black. “When I see something I like, I just go with it, and hope that it all comes together,” laughed Whitney. “I’m sure some people would come in here and think, ‘Whoa, that’s a little too much.’” She continued, “I look at a lot of Pinterest. But for the most part, if I see something I like, I just go with it. I don’t think it has to be a certain style.” One piece, a console in the dining area, is from the second-hand store Urban Junk in Madison. “[Madison] is my hometown. That piece was online and was $100,” she said. “I painted it and fixed it up.”

O LIVING ROOM It’s also apparent that the family loves color. Each room has its own palette, and the living room is monochromatic with hues of blue splashed with oranges, yellows, and browns. “I like a lot of color and busyness. I think it feels homier to me when things feel full,” said Whitney. The showstopper is the wallpaper. “When I told the builder we wanted several rooms to have wallpaper, he was like, ‘What? Wallpaper isn’t in,’” she laughed. Another shop that is prominent in this particular room, which also helped pick out said wallpaper, is former local business, Zing. Other Zing touches include the Gus couch and chair, the teakwood coffee table, and the industrial bookshelf. “I miss that store so much,” she said. “They would help not only with purchasing pieces, but they would give me styling and design tips.” A lot of personal details are strewn about the bookshelf, including one of the only places they display photographs.

THEIR MOUNT RUSHMORE PILLOW IS FROM THE FORMER SMALL BUSINESS ZING.

The living room also shows creative ways the family hides potential clutter, like routers, cords, throw blankets, etc. A favorite section of the living room for Whitney is her framed collage of prints that are from Society6. “They’re all things that I like. They’re odd things, I don’t know,” she said. “I’ll browse it, and if it catches my eye, I’ll order it. For some reason, I really love the astronaut.”

O OUTSIDE Right outside of their dining room is their oasis – an open deck with dangling café lights. The World Market furniture allows for family gatherings and hosting friends for grilling out, or for simply catching up. “We try to hang out here. It’s fun to turn those [lights] on and sit around and have a few drinks,” said Daschle. “Our location is perfect, because we have grocery stores and Wal-Mart and Target, but we’re tucked away,” said Whitney. “At the same time, we’re by a cornfield and a windmill.”

2 6 \\\\\\\\\ N O V E M B E R

Since there is no fence, the wide-open space is a canvas for the Larsens to relax and reflect. “That’s why we love it out here. It’s a great place to people watch,” joked Daschle. Further out past the deck is a bonfire setup and landscaping they did with a little help from the former lead designer of Landscape Garden Center. “It was a process for sure,” continued Daschle, “but we’re excited to work on the yard some more.”

O THE BEDROOMS One of the other rooms that has an accent wall with wallpaper is Rivers’ room, which is a sore subject.

“THAT’S A FOUR-LEAF CLOVER THAT MY DAD GAVE TO MY MOM. THERE’S A LITTLE LOVE NOTE FROM HIM IN THERE, AND IT’S SOMETHING I’VE ALWAYS HELD ON TO.” -WHITNEY

AN ARROW THAT RESEMBLES THEIR ATTEMPT AT STENCILING HANGS ABOVE RIVERS’ CLOSET.

“Rivers’ bedroom was kind of a nightmare,” recalled Whitney. “We were initially going to stencil arrows in the entire room, so I painted it white and did black stencils. Stenciling is a lot harder than I realized.” Whitney said she was in denial about how the stenciling project turned out, and put off dealing with the situation for months. After staring at it, she finally “caved.” “I hated it … I couldn’t stand it,” she laughed. “I found the wallpaper and we redid the room quick. Daschle will probably never let me change that room after all of that.” Daschle soon followed us into the room and overheard our conversation. “Oh… the stenciling,” he said as he seemed to relive the moment. Rivers, who is almost 2 years old, has a very (literal) campy feel to his nursery, including his own print collage, flannel sheets, and a faux bear mount. “I didn’t think initially I wanted a themed room, but I gravitated towards outdoorsy,” said Whitney. “I think it’s really gender neutral.” One of the only other DIY projects Whitney has taken on was Rivers’ antique dresser, which she painted mint-green with a friend. “My friend Jocelyn Johnson that does a lot of do-it-yourself projects helped me finish that,” she said. “I’ll probably never do it again – I don’t have the patience for it.”

2 8 \\\\\\\\\ N O V E M B E R

There are also fittingly tiny details in Rivers’ room, like a mini globe, a mini lantern, and his first (outdoorsy) pair of shoes. “Amazon is great for things like that,” she said. “You can find everything on Amazon.” Daschle and Whitney’s bedroom is cozy, so they use drawers as much as possible for their things. “It’s nice to have storage, because our bedroom isn’t that big,” said Whitney. When noticing the bed and both side tables were all different, she noted, “I don't think I could ever buy a bedroom set, because it all goes back to that I just can’t match.” Her friend, Johnson, who also helped painted Rivers’ dresser, created custom lamp displays for them. “She’s so incredible, I don’t know how she does it,” she said. “We just bought the actual lamps at Target.” Whitney explained how talented her friend is at her home, and that she also gets the bug to change things up, which she notes can drive Daschle “a little crazy.” “I already want to change half the things in [the house],” she laughed. “I try not to change it up. But, for example, in our kitchen I want white tiles and a farmhouse sink... but I shouldn’t.” What they do know for sure is that this experience is another great chapter in their lives as a family. Whitney said, “It was nice to build, so you really know what you want for your next forever home.” •

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Creating Community with " The Potluck Society" BY SION LIDSTER

The podcast, which is hosted by South Dakota Public Broadcasting, brings together members of the community to discuss themes and ideas that help celebrate the stories of people that oftentimes get overlooked.

THE HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US, AND PEOPLE FROM ALL AROUND ARE GETTING TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS ALIKE.

Since its inception, The Potluck Society has played host to an eclectic range of guests, such as start-up executives, community coaches, artists, musical producers, and neuroscientists. Each episode begins with a theme that guests are encouraged to discuss, and put their own viewpoints onto a wider community issue.

It’s a time of festivities and feasting, and food has long been considered a cornerstone of culture. The old familiar sights and sounds as the table is set, the food is served, and the conversations begin. For this special "Foodie" issue of 605, I talked to Hugh Weber, founder of The Potluck Society podcast, about connections and what they can meet for our community. “Contribution is the foundation of traditional potlucks,” said Weber. “The idea of The Potluck Society is simple. Everyone must contribute and bring an idea to pass.”

“It’s not enough to simply react to stories that you hear,” said Weber. “You must come with the willingness to share your own unique story and give the community, the people around the table, an opportunity to listen and respond”. And what about the audience and the community at large? How have they been responding?

“It has been absolutely thrilling. I get feedback from guests that say they openly weep when they hear their stories shared,” said Weber. “I couldn’t have imagined the community that has grown up around this podcast. I can’t wait to see what they do next”. Weber, a Network Theorist and self-proclaimed “small town kid,” is no stranger to bringing communities together. In addition to The Potluck Society, he was also the founder of OTA, a for-purpose organization that connected creatives working to build communities through North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. He is also co-host of Leading Good, a podcast designed to inspire leaders of non-profits, social enterprises, and social impact brands, and to give them the necessary information to help build towards the greater good of society. What inspires him to continue to be such an advocate for these communities?

“The small towns throughout rural America have a real deficit of celebration,” described Weber. “We believe that if we just go about our work and do a good job - that’s enough. However, I believe the uniqueness that resides in the small towns deserves to be celebrated. Their stories deserve to be told.” In an effort to further continue the progress of the podcast, Weber has big plans for the future. On December 1, SDPB will host The Potluck Society LIVE at the Washington Pavilion in Sioux Falls, and will feature special guests, regional speakers, and live performers. He also plans to take the show on the road in the spring, behind the wheel of a 1968 International Harvester Metro Mite truck named Pearl, to further the quest of bringing small town stories to light. Each episode of The Potluck Society finishes with an "action antidote:" something that the listener can take away and

perform to encourage connection. It is this that makes the podcast more than just a passive form of entertainment - just as the guests are encouraged to contribute their idea, so too are you invited to play your part. “I believe we are at a pivotal moment in American culture. The shared narrative between small towns and large urban centers has fallen apart. I believe that by sharing the stories of small communities and the people that make them thrive, that we can begin to reweave the social fabric of the country,” said Weber. “We do this for ourselves, but we also do so for everyone else.” SDPB PRESENTS POTLUCK SOCIETY LIVE TAKES PLACE ON DECEMBER 1 AT THE WASHINGTON PAVILION IN SIOUX FALLS. EARLY BIRD TICKETS ARE $100 EACH, AND ARE AVAILABLE UNTIL NOVEMBER 15. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT THEPOTLUCKSOCIETY.COM

Falling for Food BY NATALIE SLIETER PHOTOGRAPHY BY LIZ PAINTER

DESPITE EVERYONE’S DIFFERENCES AND OPINIONS, THE ONE THING PEOPLE LOVE AND HAVE IN COMMON IS FOOD. IT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER, BECAUSE WHO DOESN’T LOVE FOOD SMOTHERED WITH GOOEY CHEESE?

VISUALLY APPEALING

“IT’S INVALUABLE TO HAVE A WOODEN SPOON. YOU CAN CHECK THE TEMPERATURE OF HOT OIL, YOU CAN TAKE LIDS OFF OF THINGS, YOU CAN PUSH THINGS IN AND OUT OF THE OVEN, AND TASTE TEST, OBVIOUSLY.” Erin Zieske loves food so much she shares her dishes on Instagram, @honorcontent, and is the author of recipe book Record Recipes: A General-Purpose Cookbook. The majority of her Instagram posts include delectable shots of pasta, colorful vegetables, and more pasta. Her captions exemplify her humor and eccentric personality to her followers. When she isn’t cooking delicious meals or calculating in her head how much it would cost to start making homemade pasta, she works as a graphic designer. Cooking was something Zieske started doing in grade school while growing up in Lead. Her first job ever was working in a kitchen during high school. But the interest faded towards the end of high school and was nonexistent throughout her first round of college. This was also when she was doing the bulk of her international traveling. Looking back, Zieske wishes she had taken advantage of the international cuisine she had the opportunity to eat as she traveled, but at the time she didn’t really care about it. The interest was sparked again during her second round of college. Cafeteria food was wearing on her, so she decided to get back in the kitchen and pick up where she left off. She hosted dinner parties for friends, where it wasn’t uncommon for her to make a ridiculous amount of pasta. She realized it was her ultimate passion and started to document her recipes on Instagram, showing off the meals she made for her followers to salivate over, especially friends who had moved away. These friends kept asking for recipes, which gave her the idea to create a recipe book to share. Record Recipes came to fruition after months of Zieske designing, taking photos, writing, and finally, publishing her first book in November 2015. “It was nine months labor of love. It’s literally a baby,” said Zieske.

Zieske is able to think of flavor profiles, which she says may sound strange and perhaps snobby, but it’s what makes her successful at creating new spins on recipes. Zieske hopes to create a second volume of recipes in the near future, but is thoroughly enjoying posting online and connecting with her followers. “Food is the common denominator in being human and showing love,” said Zieske. “It’s 100 percent how I show love. It’s a love language.” She has found it valuable to use the Instagram story feature so she can show her followers behind-the-scenes footage of her cooking. By sharing her dishes, she hopes that others will be inspired to give cooking a shot, because she believes everybody can cook. She loves to chat with her followers and help them problem solve when they’re in the kitchen. “If there’s questions about literally anything food-wise, readers can totally hit me up,” affirmed Zieske. “I absolutely love to help in the kitchen.” Even when things go wrong in the kitchen, Zieske reminds others it’s a learning experience. She knows this lesson first hand as she claims to be unable to make a pie crust despite her best efforts. “It will end up in the garbage within 15 minutes of me even trying,” laughed Zieske. Zieske still hosts standing dinners and posts online weekly. She knows having a good attitude going into the kitchen is what will make cooking a fun experience. “Wooden spoons and positive attitudes,” she encouraged.

1 Big glug of good olive oil

1 Medium zucchini, diced

1 T Pumpkin pie spice

1 T Ground cumin

1 tsp Kosher salt

1 C Shredded carrots

4 Green onions, chopped

BAKING IDEAS “WHAT FOOD BLOGGING AND MAGAZINE WRITING HAS DONE FOR ME THAT I LOVE THE MOST IS IT HAS OPENED UP CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE ABOUT THEIR FOOD STORIES.” Staci Perry specializes in delectable, delicious desserts, specifically cheesecake. Baking for her kids got her started, but Perry’s cheesecakes catapulted her into the baking realm and gave her recognition and a platform to show what she can do. Her blog, Random Sweetness Baking, showcases these desserts. She grew up on church basement potluck cooking, so there are also home cooked meals featured. Random Sweetness Baking started because Perry got in the habit of making something, but failing to record the recipe for future use. The blog is her online recipe box to catalog her desserts and meals for family, friends, and herself. “When I make something, rarely do I not give it away,” said Perry. “It’s really the sharing of it that I love.” Perry lives in Brookings with her two kids, Kalani and Sajen, both in high school. She dabbled in baking as a child, but refined her craft when her own children were younger so she could create special themed cakes, like in the shape of gumball machines, for their birthday parties. From there, she started getting into making cheesecakes instead of buying them. She made cheesecakes with

numerous flavors to share and enjoy with others. She mastered it so well, she has been requested to provide her baking expertise to graduation parties and weddings. One graduation party found her making 17 flavors of cheesecakes, 20 cheesecakes served total - a feat she is extremely proud of. “It was the most amazing feeling when I left that night. It was like an artist doing an art show and having people comment about how beautiful it was, but people were eating it and talking about how delicious it was,” said Perry. Creating the blog also reignited her love for writing, something she would eventually like to do full time. Her writing and photography have been featured in Hungry for Truth, Edina Magazine, South Dakota Magazine, foodgawker, and DakotaChic. She recently turned in a writing project for the Food Network about iconic dishes from each state. Perry found 26 dishes to represent the state of South Dakota. She somehow managed to find time to complete this on top of her full time job in communications and maintaining the blog. Perry enjoys interacting with her blog followers through emails and social

media. She has even found strangers acknowledging her blog when she has been running errands. She hopes her blog shows others she is a down-to-earth home baker. “Don’t think I should be making it for you because you can do the same thing,” reassured Perry. “I am not a trained professional.” The humility Perry shows is a rarity. She didn’t ask for the recognition or fame, she simply wanted to record what she had done and share her creations with others. She points to her faith for keeping her grounded. “Life looks so perfect online. I’m fighting the same battles as other people are,” she disclosed. “You have to have faith and prayer and family that will be there. Somehow I have this God-given talent, and I’m figuring out how to use it.” Until that time, Perry will continue to head to her sanctuary, the kitchen, to knead out her thoughts. “It’s my time, it’s my peace, it’s creating; there’s something about it,” mused Perry.

Aukerman’s Top 5 Restaurant Picks (in no particular order)

Aukerman is quick to tell you that she hates choosing favorites. It took a lot of coaxing for her to give us a list, but we’ve rounded up five of the spots she says you can’t miss if you’re visiting Sioux Falls. SANAA’S GOURMET MEDITERRANEAN

PARKER’S BISTRO

Now, you may be asking yourself, “What is a food tour?” “Sioux Falls isn’t really a tour city,” said Aukerman.

IOUX FALLS HAS A REPUTATION AS A SMALL CITY WITH AN UNUSUALLY HIGH NUMBER OF RESTAURANTS PER CAPITA. SOUNDS LIKE A FOODIE’S PARADISE, RIGHT?

A large portion of those restaurants are your everyday chains - Applebee’s, Olive Garden, and the like. But what many don’t realize at first glance, is that the food scene is truly bustling in Sioux Falls. Creative, innovative restaurants, and breweries have been popping up rapidly, primarily in the downtown area. All it takes to expand your dining horizons is a little bit of savvy, and the drive to explore.

The populations of larger cities and metropolitan areas are more accustomed to the idea of tours - whether cultural or culinary - as attractions for visitors, but she says Sioux Falls isn’t quite there yet. According to Aukerman, however, the opportunity to sample some of what makes the dining scene in the area so exciting is just what the city needs. “We just have so many local, independent people totally killing it,” she said. Aukerman should know - she’s one of them. As the founder and co-owner of Coffea Roasterie, Aukerman has been involved in the industry for awhile. “I’ve been working in coffee since I was a teenager,” she said.

That’s where Jenna Aukerman comes in.

Over the years, she spent time developing her palate for coffee and becoming a more conscious consumer.

tana University with a business degree) Aukerman believes that consciousness translates to food, wine, and beer as well. Perhaps it’s the fact that so much of her expertise is self-taught and driven simply by a passion for quality food, but Aukerman stands out in the culinary industry as someone with zero ego or pretentiousness. Trying out new restaurants or dishes can be intimidating, and Aukerman understands that. “If you’re coming into Coffea, and you don’t know the difference between a latte and a cup of black coffee, that’s awesome,” she said. “We are so excited to teach you.” The same goes for food tours. “It’s easy to get overwhelmed,” she said. “Especially when you’re going into places you’ve never been before. My hope is to bridge that gap and welcome you wherever you’re at.” Aukerman offers both private and public tours, which she caps at 20 participants. The ideal amount of people is six to 12, she said. For $55 (all food and taxes included), one can experience the “Taste of Downtown,” in which Aukerman chooses four to six locales for tour attendees to visit.

She switches it up on nearly every tour, but a common route includes stopping at Remedy Brewing Co. for a 5 oz. sample of your choice, walking over to Breadico for a slice of pizza, and more beer at Fernson on 8th next door, trying out the Vietnamese Chicken Sandwich at Bread and Circus Sandwich Kitchen, wrapping up with a treat to-go from Queen City Bakery, and a final beer at WoodGrain Brewing Company. “You won’t leave hungry,” she said. As for the future, Aukerman hopes to expand into wine-focused tours, as well as more global food. All food tours are currently based downtown, requiring no transportation, thus keeping costs down. But as someone passionate about travel and other cultures, Aukerman hopes to expand to include some of Sioux Falls’ ethnic restaurants as well, many of which are located outside of the downtown sphere. “People get really comfortable in what they know,” said Aukerman. “But just under the surface, there’s this culinary scene that’s so vibrant, so creative, so sustainable. I just want to help people realize what’s available to them.” FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO BOOK A TOUR, VISIT SIOUXFALLSFOODTOURS.COM.

Hour three of the car ride to the Black Hills, my co-worker finally said, “Okay... “ Message received. But did it stop me from continuing? Kind of. Not really. The next day we arrived hungry at the downtown restaurant, which opened in September. It was like we were taken to another place. Owner Sheree Schriver has been collecting items for years from the South and antique stores all over, and the chandeliers, jazz instruments, artwork, and more eclectic décor all are from her personal collection.

“What is the difference between a Gator Blood Bloody Mary and a regular Bloody Mary?” I asked. “This has shrimp and has much more hot sauce,” she explained. I’m a totally wuss… but challenge accepted! And wow. She was right. One sip of the adorable drink that arrived in a mason jar and the spice rushed to my head, along with my cheeks getting hot. The shrimp helped cool it down, but that was rough. Spicy lovers will enjoy it. Now, to be honest, I’m not too experienced with Cajun food or with much sea-

CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE

food. Luckily I was with a few co-workers who were, and one glanced at the menu and exclaimed, “Etouffee! They have Etouffe? I’ve never been able to find a place that serves this locally.” Well, Crawfish Etouffee (pronounced a-too-fey) was ordered immediately. You can get a cup or bowl, so we tried a cup to share. The dish is “a stew with Cajun seasonings and the trinity cooked in a blonde roux with tomatoes and topped with crawfish tails.” The word “tails” is where I get nervous. Thank goodness the texture was not as scary as I imagined, and it was actually very tasty, with just enough seasoning intermixed with the other ingredients.

GATOR BLOOD BLOODY MARY

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

First and foremost, I couldn’t get over the name. The moment I heard about the new Cajun restaurant in Rapid City, Jambonz Deux (two), I started to repeat it constantly in what was an attempt at an accent.

TRY IT: We didn’t get to them, but these items are on our list for next time…

The narrow eatery seemed large, but intimate, and I loved that blues music was bustling from behind the bar. We took a seat near one of the front windows, and our (super nice) server came over and greeted us. She explained everything is Cajun themed since the owner was from Louisiana, and recommended right away that we try the Gator Blood Bloody Mary.

O JAMBONZ DEUX

ENJOY Our next dishes came out together, and how they were presented made me so happy. All of the items were in plastic containers and were all served in beer trays that made me feel like I was legit eating outside on the patio in the South. We passed around the Pastalaya out of the next batch, and the menu explained it’s made like traditional jambalaya, but is cooked with blond roux and heavy cream. The best part? It’s topped with andouille sausage, tomatoes, and green onion served over linguini. Pasta is always my personal favorite. It did have a slight bite, but not too much. There were also shrimp on top, which seemed super fresh. To try more menu items at once, we ordered the Soul Food Platter. This included fried catfish, three ribbonz, collard greens or coleslaw, red beans and rice, gumbo, and a cornbread muffin with a side of barbecue sauce and tartar sauce. Let’s start with the hand-battered Catfish. My

co-workers made so many noises of joy when they took their first bites, and at one point almost yelled at me to stop what I was doing and try it next.

Enjoy Raw Oysters on the Half Shell out of Chesapeake Bay. You can order six for $12 or 12 for $22 with a side of horseradish, cocktail sauce, and lemon.

“Do not sleep on the catfish.” It was super flaky and was even better with the tartar sauce. Even as we tried other items, I caught them both taking bites of the catfish until it was gone. The Red Beans and Rice were made with red beans cooked with trinity spices, andouille sausage, and was served over rice. Rice is speaking my language. My personal recommendation is to mix the ingredients together before digging in. And while we were about to burst, we got to the Gumbo. Full of Cajun flavor, this was one of my favorite experiences of our stop. The Ribs melted off the bone, and were nice to swap up the overwhelming (because we were being gluttonous) flavors.

Collard Greens ended our journey, and I had never had them before. Weary going in, I thoroughly liked it and ate several bites, even after all of the foods.

O BOTTOM LINE: I’m thrilled that this moved into the historic Buell Building, and it's a wonderful addition to downtown Rapid City. It's like a vacation in a stop. And my etouffee-obsessed co-worker even said theirs was better than the one she was still dreaming about from a trip to Florida. Boom.

This was my favorite part. It felt like I was on vacation in the South, waiting for live blues to start. It was so cool to see the thought behind all of the collected items from Schriver and to get a peek into her world. I wish more restaurants would have more of a story behind them like this place.

Especially for getting a full menu of food that's not as common to the area, it's very reasonably priced. A bowl of Gumbo is $6, and you can add fresh shrimp for $3. Not bad at all, plus it's very filling. The Soul Food Platter is only $15, and that can definitely be shared.

Did I mention I'm not a huge seafood fan? And the etouffee was delicious. If you ask my tablemates, that was the best catfish they have ever had. Can you beat that? Not really.

AN ADMIRABLE QUESTION BY TRACY KIRBY CRISTA BALLARD PHOTOGRAPHY

WHO IS A WOMAN TODAY YOU DEEPLY ADMIRE?

5 6 \\\\\\\\\ N O V E M B E R

I was reading a parenting book when I read this seemingly innocuous question. The question seemed simple. After all, I have so many

women in my life whom I deeply admire and aspire to be like “when I grow up” (when does that happen, by the way?). But out of curiosity,

Little Parent on the Prairie FOLLOW TRACY ON HER BLOG, LITTLEPARENTONTHEPRAIRIE.COM

LIFESTYLE Roughly making up almost half of the world’s population, women rightfully and undeniably have an invaluable place in this world. As the story goes, creation was not complete until Eve came along. Women, therefore, are the culmination of creation, the ultimate finishing touch to a job well done. Yes, women are, for lack of a better sweeping superlative, amazing. They are essential to humanity even though, as history has proven time and time again, often times they are treated far from their true infinite worth by both men and women alike. In that light, the question the book posed to me seems to carry more consequence.

THAT’S THE WOMAN, YOU GUYS. THAT’S HER. SHE’S THE ONE I ADMIRE.

WHO IS A WOMAN TODAY I DEEPLY ADMIRE? As I began to put way more thought into this than I probably should have (which is par for the course for me in everything in life - ask my husband), I started to think of my answer in terms of what characteristics of a woman do I admire versus specifically just one woman. As I mulled it over in my mind, I remembered something a dear friend had said a couple weeks back at a women’s group I attended. She said, “I am always drawn to women that are confident in themselves.” Yes. A confident woman. Essentially, a woman who knows her worth. And when a woman knows her worth, she knows other people’s, too. A confident woman knows her purpose, and therefore does not have to tear others down to reach it. She doesn’t need to lie or manipulate her way, because she is confident in her own abilities to achieve her purpose. She doesn’t need to belittle to make herself bigger. In essence, she is the true Wonder Woman of our day. That’s the woman, you guys. That’s her. She’s the one I admire.

instead of beginning with women I knew, I started thinking of women I did not know personally, but are well known women in our society. Out of those women, which of whom do I deeply admire? I decided to shelf my answer and I moved on to the next question. What I found was a bit of a twist:

WHO IS A WOMAN TODAY YOU WOULD WANT YOUR DAUGHTER TO ADMIRE? There’s no denying that women are a hot topic right now. To the lay person’s eye, lady bosses, warrior women, and inspirational female leads seem to be recurrent themes in today’s culture. But when it comes to the actual news, we often see the other side of the spectrum such as abuse of women, the exploitation of women, stories of their oppression, and the silencing of their voices. At the time of this writing, account after account of women are coming into the light about decades of mistreatment at the hands of a (then) powerful entertainment mogul.

And as I look around, I see that woman all over. She may not be in the news, she may not be in the Wall Street Journal. But, she is everywhere. She is in the foxholes of everyday life. She may be running companies, departments, or even countries, but I tell you what, she is definitely running families and households. She is changing her community, encouraging those that need encouragement, and doing the thankless work that no one will ever see or perhaps even notice. She may be a lady boss with a bumper sticker and all, or she may not. She may be quietly giving her time and her very person to something greater than herself. Whatever she looks like in whatever capacity she is doing it, that confident woman? That selfless woman? That kind woman? That’s who I admire. That’s who I would want my daughter to admire. And that woman is in every woman if we would just have eyes to see it and have the confidence to let her out. •

COME VISIT: Lead OME OF KING’S PASTIE (PASS-TEE) AND THE HOMESTAKE MINING COMPANY, THE SMALL TOWN IS FULL OF OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND CHARM. WHETHER YOU’RE VISITING THE BLACK HILLS MINING MUSEUM OR ARE SKIING WITH FRIENDS, YOU'LL SEE LEAD IS A GREAT MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY THAT IS GROWING RAPIDLY WITH INNOVATIONAL ENTREPRENEURS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SANFORD UNDERGROUND LABORATORY.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// FOR HISTORY AND PERFORMING ARTS O THE HISTORIC HOMESTAKE OPERA HOUSE Constructed by the Homestake Gold Mine in 1914, The Historic Homestake Opera House & Recreation Building was the vision of Homestake superintendent Thomas J. Grier, and was funded by arts and education philanthropist Phoebe Hearst (owner of the Homestake Mining company after the death of husband George Hearst). The performing arts venue and recreation center was nicknamed “the Jewel of the Black Hills” for its stunning craftsmanship. While it once boasted a library, bowling alley, billiards hall, social hall, heated indoor swimming pool, and a theater, it suffered a fire in 1984. After almost sitting empty for 11 years, it has seen an incredible transformation back to its original beauty with an ongoing restoration. The theater, which currently holds around 500 people, features concerts, performing arts, and educational presentations. Executive director Sarah Carlson laughed as she described the hauntingly beautiful theater, “We call it vintage grunge.” Take a 30 minute tour for $5 per person (free for kids) and check out their newest exhibit that opened in 2016 to walk through history. Their next event will be the Lead and Deadwood Chamber Dual Members Mixer November 30 from 5-7 p.m. with live music, drinks, treats, and Santa Claus. Open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Check website for event dates and times. HOMESTAKEOPERAHOUSE.ORG /// (605) 584-2067

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// FOR LUNCH OR DINNER O LEWIE’S SALOON & EATERY You know you’ve made the right choice when the restaurant made Midwest Living’s “Top 25 Burgers in the Midwest.” Lewie’s Saloon & Eatery has been a must-stop locale in Lead as it’s close to it all: Cheyenne Crossing, the Terry Peak ski area, Deadwood, Spearfish, and Deer Mountain. Try their Southwestern Dakota Burger with grilled onions, bacon, jalapenos, pickles, swiss cheese, and chili garlic sauce. Not in the mood for a burger somehow? Nibble on their popular Reuben or Gourmet Grilled Cheese. Sit on their intimate bar side or in The Fun Room with tables large enough for any party. “It doesn’t matter who you are - motorcyclists, construction workers, young people - we want everyone to feel comfortable and have a good time,” said owner Lewie Sternhagen. Enjoy the eclectic décor surrouding you that Sternhagen has collected at auctions and rummage sales, like a vintage King’s Grocery sign, animal mounts, and logging, skiing, and morotcyle collections. (Tips: Drinking with friends? Try the shotski and take shots off an actual ski with up to four people. And don't miss their infamous Big Jar beers. Collect six Big Jar Cards to get a Big Jar beer free.) Open Monday through Sunday 11 a.m. - 11 p.m. LEWIESBURGERS.COM // (605) 584-1324

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// FOR DINING OR LODGING O STAMPMILL RESTAURANT & SALOON Dine or grab a drink in the historic building built in 1897. After decades of hosting different businesses, the Hollaran Building is now home to the Stampmill Restaurant & Saloon, which has refreshing spins on menu items, like the Pork Chop & Rosemary (boneless pork chop with rosemary, fennel seeds, garlic, black pepper, and a grenadine glaze) and the Stampmill Special (hamburger with bleu cheese and green olives). “I’m kind of biased, but we try to keep everything fresh,” said Hollaran owner Kevin Wehner. Wehner, whose wife Amy Boysen owns Stampmill, created a fun atmosphere of community board games, trivia, and Shake-a-Day (rolling dice for a chance to win the pot with 10 percent going towards a local charity). Staying the night? Rent one of their two Victorian Rooms upstairs. (Tip: Don’t forget to throw your bottle cap into the community jar. If you make it, you get your drink for free. Yell “shooter” when you throw.) Open Tuesday through Saturday 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. (605) 717-0554

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// FOR CRAFT BREWS O DAKOTA SHIVERS BREWING Pull up your bike and end your day with the intimate and cozy brewery Dakota Shivers Brewing. Hang out with owner and head brewer Linda Shivers, and chat it up with other locals. Try their flagship beer, the 5280 Pale Ale, or sip on one of their seasonal beers, like their Shivering Pumpkin (which includes a delicious cinnamon-sugar glaze). Try all eight beers on tap with a flight or take some home. “We have beer to go in any kind of growler and have a crowler machine,” said Shivers. A crowler is 32-ounce canner where you can watch your beer get canned right in front of you. “We say [the can] will last two months, but it will easily last longer than that,” she said.

Ashley Berry started her business as a way to grow closer to her family and to stay involved with the community. “My husband and I were both in other industries, and we wanted to do something that would bring us together and help us be more involved in the community,” said Berry. Part of being involved with the local community is offering services that big box stores and sites like Amazon can’t offer their customers. Berry said that she is in the shop seven days a week and focuses on customer service. “I feel like small businesses are something of a rarity,” said Berry. “They’re becoming fewer and farther between. We try to focus on customer service, quality products, and making sure that we’re there for our customers to help them.” Berry said that part of customer service is opening up

discussion about the products that they sell, everything from pressure cookers to cutlery, and making sure customers get the most out of their cooking experience. “[We give] advice, whether they want to have a good, in-depth discussion about what the right choice for them would be before they actually purchase something,” she said. Some of the services they provide are an espresso bar, free gift wrapping, and year-round cooking classes. With more than 20 chefs on the team, they have a plate full of specialties. “If someone has people coming to town and they want to do something fun, they can [go to a class],” said Berry. “We will have people that come in [around] Thanksgiving or holidays and have never cooked a turkey or made gravy, so there’s a wide array of people that work here, and we have someone on staff who can help if there’s some kind of cooking panic.”
