This issue is a slam dunk! We filled our roster with the best of the best, it’s time for Downtown Food Madness! Be prepared to have your mouth water. We had our food critics scour the town for the best breads, steaks, and desserts out there! We selected only the most qualified food critics in the city...well you might have to be the judge of that. Join your favorite team and get ready to pick your winner.

Meet the critics: Married duo Karel and Teri Sovak take on downtown’s delectable delights. Kevin Swan, teacher by day and steak connoisseur by night, searches the city for the best steak in town. Medora Sletten can go from zero to gluTEN in 3.5 seconds, taking downtown tasting seriously as she devours breads, buns, and rolls. Here is a sneak peak into the wit and adventure of Medora. " I was eager to embark on my "breadventure" and survey what I believe is foundational to a fruitful restaurant experience: the basket of bread and butter. However, the bread was quickly overshadowed by the simple and joyous act of breaking bread with others.

Jesus was onto something when he broke out the bread to share with his best friends and family.

I went to the Walrus with an old high school friend and reminisced about all of the boys we loved in high school and how sharing a basket of Walrus bread was the first date she and her now husband went on 12 years ago. I sat with a high schooler who recently moved to North Dakota, and we giggled about what life is like as a teenager and how not much really changes. I sat with a new friend as she shared how Peacock Alley’s buns remind her of how her mom used to bake bread on the farm. I cried tears of joy with my family while my two young nieces devoured butterhorns beside us. I laughed with my officemates about how comical it is to dissect the same slice of bread for over an hour. And I sat with myself and had a moment of peace alone in restaurant, just me and my plate of bread. It was bliss. Table for one please!"

Follow the fabulous four on their food tour as they taste test their way through the city. Take the food madness challenge with us and walk downtown trying all the breads, steaks, and desserts featured. Make the decision for yourself of who should win the first ever Downtown Food Madness edition of Bismarck Magazine. Follow the brackets on Facebook & Instagram and cast your vote all March long.

THE CRITIC | MEDORA SLETTEN

Bread WHAT ARE YOUR QUALIFICATIONS? Well honestly, not much. I've been eating since 1987 and started going out to eat shortly after that. I guess you could say I have experience on the job. You know when you're watching the Olympics and you just want to see an average everyday person compete against the Olympians to really put things in perspective? I am the everyday food critic.

No fancy food words or training from me - just a fun-loving midwestern palate.

SWEET, SALTY, OR SAVORY? If it's warm in the winter and chilled in the summer, I'll probably enjoy it. It also helps if it's covered in chocolate.

WHAT MAKES YOUR MOUTH WATER? Any meal shared with others. I don't know much about food, but I do know we need it to survive and it might as well be tasty and enjoyed in good company!

FAVORITE THING TO COOK? Cereal. I really think I have cereal mastered.

BISMARCK-MAGAZINE.COM

THE CRITIC | MEDORA SLETTEN

FIVE CRITERIA FOR JUDGING I'm rating the baked goods on a scale of 1-10, which I'm calling gluTEN.

1. Sharability - Can it easily be shared with others?

2. Made with love* - Is it made in-house or brought in? * They are ALL made in house every day. Good job, Bismarck!

3. Nostalgia - Does it remind me of something else/another time?

4. Presentation - My mother says "presentation is everything."

5. Warmth & Softness - Does it taste like a good hug?

DOWNTOWN EATS | BREAD

Butterhorn butterhorn

The Butterhorn's butterhorn is everything I am looking for in a bread…and a husband. The butterhorn makes a killer first impression with everyone it meets, and only gets better as you get to know each perfectly-baked layer. It is confident enough to know when to hold its own at dinner or sit back and simply be warm-hearted and comforting to those around it.

With a splash of wit and salt, the butterhorn always keeps me smiling.

Butterhorn, butterhorn…you’re the one.

Bistro bistro The Bistro bread is just the right amount of “North Dakota Fancy.” The bread is equal parts crisp, buttered exterior and warm, melt-in-yourmouth interior. The delicate oil and cheese plate adds just the touch of class needed to separate this starter from the pack. Bistro bread, you smell as sweet as harvest.

Peacock Alley Next time you find yourself at Peacock Alley, do your soul a favor and ask for an additional beer bun. By far my favorite bread and butter pairing, the honey butter is unmatched. Melt it down, serve it for breakfast…and then eat a truck-load of vegetables because I don’t think (unfortunately) that much butter would be good for you.

walrus This bread earns the title “bread of inclusion” because it is free, served to everyone as soon as they sit down, pre-sliced, and there is always enough for everyone to have seconds. This is a no fuss, crowd-pleasing, don’tforget-the-extra-herb-butter, please-pass-the-basket kind of bread.

KEVIN SWAN

THE CRITIC | KEVIN SWAN

steak WHAT ARE YOUR QUALIFICATIONS? In my steak adventures I've tried most of the steaks all over the Bismarck-Mandan area. In this issue of Bismarck Magazine I will be highlighting six steaks from the downtown Bismarck area.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN EATING? When it comes to eating... I’ve been doing it my whole life.

The funny thing is my family often tells me my first word was “eat”. So I guess in a way I was born for this!

FAVORITE CONDIMENT? Some sort of hot sauce. At this current point in time I would have to say either Tabasco or Crystal hot sauce.

WHO WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE DINNER WITH: GORDON RAMSAY, BOBBY FLAY OR RACHEL RAY? I would have to say Mr. Ramsay. Just so I could ask why he is always so angry.

BISMARCK-MAGAZINE.COM

THE CRITIC | KEVIN SWAN

CRITERIA FOR JUDGING 1. It’s going to be a ribeye. If you are going to have a steak, why would you pick anything other than a ribeye?

These steaks have the perfect balance of fat and tenderloin making it one of the best cuts out there.

2. Doneness - Although I prefer my steak a nice, juicy medium rare, I will be ordering at a medium heat. This seems to be a happy medium for most people.

3. Flavor - This is big. So, let me give you my view on what a great steak needs for flavor. A great steak comes from the beef and marbling (fat). If a steak needs a bunch of seasoning, then the beef is not as good. A steak should only need salt, pepper, oil, garlic, thyme, and butter (the butter changes the game). This allows the grade of beef to speak for itself.

4. Juiciness - This comes from how long the steak was allowed to rest. Too long and the steak is cold and dry, not long enough and it loses its juiciness.

These are the four criteria I will be basing my judgment on. To keep it simple in each category the steak will receive a one to six. One being that it lacks flavor, juiciness and is overcooked.

Six being that the steak is cooked to a perfect medium, has wonderful flavor and has just the right amount of juice.

This way I can judge them in relation to each other.

Every restaurant was fun to visit, and the staff in each place was wonderful.

It has been great to see all the new places that have come to Bismarck and experience some of the adventures that come along with them. It was a privilege to be able to dine and experience the different atmospheres of each place.

BUSINESS SERVICE WITHOUT LIP SERVICE No-nonsense lending and insurance advice.

Bistro bistro Staying true to my intentions I ordered the ribeye at the Bistro. I was presented with a uniquely shaped steak accompanied by sautĂŠed vegetables and fired onion strings. My steak was cooked to the high end of medium and when I sliced into it the center cut was perfectly done. A nice bbq taste complimented the well-seasoned meat. This steak held its juices very well and had just the right amount of runoff. Overall this was a good steak and a good dining experience.

My sirloin was served with vegetables, fried onion strings, and a baked potato. I ordered the steak medium and I was served a perfectly medium steak. On the drier side, this steak was heavily seasoned with flavors of reminiscent of my time in India.

Broadway Grill Broadway Grill & Tavern advertises that their ribeye is certified angus beef, one of the best steaks you can get, so I was really looking forward to this meal.

Broadway offers different sauces to choose from and I decided to go with the garlic herb butter. The flame broiled edges gave this steak great flavor and the addition of the sauce elevated the taste to exceptional. While the juices in the steak ran out with each cut it was in no way dry. Very good experience!

Peacock Alley The ribeye at Peacock Alley was one of the best when it comes to consistency. The certified angus steak was a great cut even though it was slightly, slightly over done. At Peacock Alley the flavor of the steak is wonderful, and the meat speaks for itself. This steak had great rest time and was so succulent and juicy.

butterhorn Butterhorn

Butterhorn does not serve a ribeye so I ordered the beef tenderloin. Tenderloin is one of the best cuts out there and I was looking forward to tasting the tender steak. My medium steak was just barely on the side of overdone, but this did not affect the taste. A great cognac cream sauce paired perfectly with the steak letting the steak to all the talking. Butterhorn’s steak was perfectly rested and each bite was full of juicy flavor.

BISMARCK MAGAZINE | JULY-AUGUST 2018

THE CRITICS | TERI & KAREL SOVAK

Dessert WHAT ARE YOUR QUALIFICATIONS? Teri: My mom was an amazing baker. She did a lot of things well, but she passed down her love/addiction for sweets. I know after the first bite whether it’s worth the calories or not.

Karel: I am critical of so many things, why not add food to the list? I think mostly my age allows me to be a critic and I’ll rock, paper, scissors anyone who disagrees with me.

SOUP OR SALAD? Teri: Neither. Would rather have room for dessert.

Karel: If those are the only two choices, I would have to say soup, and it would have to be knoephla.

WHAT'S THE BEST THING HE/SHE COOKS? Teri: Depends on who you ask I suppose, but I think the best thing I cook is my lasagna. Although I do a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner, too!

Karel: I am known for my egg rolls, but I make THE best sweet potato pie (better than any pumpkin) and an amazing orange chiffon cake. PS: I do love her lasagna!

CRAZIEST THING YOU'VE EVER EATEN? Teri: Sorry, nothing crazy to report here. If it’s not made out of cream and dough, I didn’t grow up eating it. Nobody tricked me into eating pickled pig’s feet or blood sausage or tongue, or crickets or chicken talons or even paste. The craziest thing that ever ended up on my plate was probably tiger meat and no tigers were injured in the making of that dish.

Karel: The only reason that is hard to answer is because I have no clue what it was and it was probably crazy that I even tried it. It was when I was walking the streets in Manilla (Philippines) and was offered something off a makeshift grill by a family. It was very tasty, but could have been a mouse for all I know.

THE CRITICS | TERI & KAREL SOVAK

CRITERIA FOR JUDGING We know what you’re thinking! Judging some of the finest desserts around the BismarckMandan area would be, well, a piece of cake.

We admit, the task itself was deliciously easy, however, when there are so many good selections from which to choose, finding our favorite was not. We are no doubt both great fans of the sweets, but we are not always lured by the same flavors. To help us rank the Mmmm factor, we put together some basic criteria that anyone with a sweet tooth and a craving could appreciate. First, desserts had to be made in house. Once this qualification was met, we moved on to quality taste and impressive presentation. Finally, the dish scored points for originality or uniqueness.

What we landed on in our quest was often a surprise, and we hope you will try some of these star courses for yourself! We're rating on a scale of one to 10 based on Taste, Presentation, and Uniqueness.

Anima Cucina

DOWNTOWN EATS | DESSERT

Some desserts are special occasion; the Tiramisu at Anima Cucina is for every occasion. Not a fan of coffee or espresso flavors? Keep reading. We have witnessed a miracle. While one of us is a coffee lover, the other is completely the opposite (read: Karel). If you find yourself in the latter’s camp, there is still no reason not to try this dessert, we both loved it! We’re told that the espresso is mixed with red wine, and perhaps that is what transformed the flavor for our non-coffee drinker. We cleared the bowl in a matter of minutes. The Tiramisu here was inspired by a visit to a little mom and pop café in Florence, Italy. All the ingredients are made in house, from the lady fingers soaked in espresso (with red wine) to the mascarpone pudding-like filling.

Anima Cucina Tiramisu is a top pick dessert and we recommend it with coffee and friends any time of the day. We also recommend that everyone splurge for their own. Some things are too good to share.

Bistro bistro We don’t know of another place in the area that attempts, much less masters, a chocolate soufflé. A perfect soufflé is no easy task, but the chefs at the Bistro make it look simple and make it to order. The wait to perfection is about 20 minutes, but the warm, light molten cake, double scoops of vanilla ice cream, and draping of chocolate syrup is worth every minute. This is a destination dessert. This is a special occasion dessert. This is the dessert your favorite dessert would want for dessert. The Bistro Chocolate Souffle is a top pick dessert and we recommend it for a date night or evening out. Nothing says “I love you” like sacrificing the last incredible bite for your other half.

Blarney Stone Pub Of course, you have to include bread pudding in any dessert review, even if you’re not Irish. The Jameson Irish Bread Pudding is a warm mouth full of cinnamon and vanilla dough with a crisp, toasty outside and gooey center topped with Irish Whiskey caramel sauce and paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The Irish Whiskey is subtle, and the buttery caramel steals the show.

As with most things on the menu, the helping is hearty so any two can simply place the plate center stage and dig in.

When Chef Stuart Tracy decides what pairs well together, you get an incredible blend of flavors that absolutely melt in your mouth. While the cheesecakes made at the Pirogue Grille rotate based on the season, we tried the North Dakota Honey & Ricotta Cheesecake, with an almond biscotti crust. Chef Tracy makes his own recipe of biscotti to infuse with this particular cheesecake. But fear not, if this one isn’t on the menu, they have a number of other offerings throughout the year. This may have been the only cheesecake on our tour, but we’ve had our share and we know this dish could rival any cheesecake made anywhere. We can’t wait for the upcoming fruit cheesecakes.

Can you imagine a homemade animal cracker crust?

DOWNTOWN EATS | DESSERT

the starving rooster When you are looking for something completely different, look no further than the Starving Rooster’s Candied Maple Bacon Ice Cream. For some, bacon belongs on a plate with eggs and toast, but hear us out. If the idea of kicking back in a farmyard chic atmosphere with a tin of something sweet and smoky (that’s right, we said smoky) is how dessert is meant to be, then this is the dish for you. For those of you who think this creamy, crunchy, creative dessert is wrong in theory, we have to say it’s right in execution. We dare you to try this deliciously different ice cream.

DOWNTOWN EATS | DESSERT

They say any day is a good day for pie, and we agree. Going to the Wood House Restaurant during the week gives you a number of options to sample these delightful desserts. We chose Wednesday, which allowed us to enjoy one of our favorites, the classic Coconut Crème pie. The crust was crisp, the cream was smooth, and the topping was piled high. Just what we needed to get us over the weekday hump.

Where

Plastic Surgery begins with

listening

When patients see Dr. Steven Yearsley, the first thing they will notice is how carefully he listens to them. From the moment a patient contacts Dr. Yearsley, whether it’s through his “Ask Dr. Yearsley” feature on the Mid Dakota Clinic website or whether it’s during a consultation in his office, it is clear how important the patient’s interests, goals and concerns are to him.

And it doesn’t stop there. “We want to make sure that we’ve brought people from the beginning to the end,” Yearsley says. “We are their advocates. It’s not just seeing them in the office, doing the operation and saying ‘thank you very much.’ There’s none of that here.”

Dr. Yearsley is a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive training and experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He joined Mid Dakota Clinic in 2008 after spending 10 years in the southwestern United States.

“We were looking for a family-friendly place to raise our seven children, and I was

looking for a clinic where values were important and the atmosphere among surgeons and medical professionals was great.” he says. “All of the things we looked into turned out to be true here.”

From the hair on their heads to the toes on their feet, Dr. Yearsley offers solutions for all kinds of problems for every type of patient, from the pediatric to the geriatric population. “Plastic surgery has become more common,” Yearsley says. “It doesn’t have to be a deformity; it can simply be a confidence builder – an improvement.”

Dr. Yearsley is pleased to say that he’s seen many people whose lives have changed for the better after plastic surgery. “It’s not a matter of being vain; they just want to be the best they can be,” he says. “If you’ve got some area of your body that’s bothering you, that’s limiting you in your social interactions, and this helps you in some small way to improve that part of your life, I say, why not?

Why not do that?”

Sponsored by Mid Dakota Clinic

With communication being key in the decision process, he encourages patients to come in and talk to him. “If they want to achieve something, I will help them through the process,” he says. “We’ll lay it all out, so they know they’re in the right place. If it’s the right thing to do, I will tell them. If it’s not the right thing to do, I will tell them that, too.”

Dr. Yearsley provides a full range of surgical services and has also developed a following as a “fixer” of complex cosmetic surgery problems with patient referrals from across the country. He cites examples that range from repairing breast implants that have deteriorated with a procedure that he was one of the first to do, to a complex facial reconstruction of a gunshot victim that turned her life around.

Advancements in plastic surgery have changed the field, and Dr. Yearsley is on the cutting edge, performing breast reconstruction using fat transfers or immediate placement of implants above the muscle with mesh or acellular dermal matrix. He explains the fat transfer procedure: “You simply take fat from one area of the body and move it to another area,” he says. “When everything’s said and

done, you have used the patient’s own skin and fat to recreate a natural breast. I think this will

increase at a pretty brisk rate. We’ve got to get more insurance companies to back patients on that reconstructive effort.”

Endoscopic procedures, particularly hand surgery, have also seen significant progress. “Endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery is really a slick method,” he says. “We get patients back to work sooner, and they don’t have the longer incision on the palm.

We just close it with a drop of glue on the wrist.

That’s how I’d have it done.”

Dr. Yearsley says he enjoys every aspect of his practice and helping patients reach their goals.

“Whether it’s reconstructive or cosmetic, I feel it is all meaningful work,” he says. “Patients who have gone through this process have come through something important and special, and I find it very rewarding that they have placed their trust in us on their journey.”

fresh baked bread than dessert any day. From the butterhorns at Butterhorn to dipping baguettes in oil at the Bistro, this city knows how to do breads. I grew up baking bread by my mom’s side, so I like to think I’m a qualified critic, but really, I was just in the kitchen for the sweet smell coming from the oven. It’s hard to pick a favorite, since all six spots have their own unique spin on breads. The popovers at Ramkota are an iconic staple to Bismarck, and the fluffiness-it’s like eating a cloud! The fresh baked loaves coming hot out of the oven at Bread Poets can't be beat. You can always count on their bread to make any sandwich great. If you go to Peacock Alley, no matter what you order, always add their signature beer bun, trust me it’s worth every calorie. But don’t take my word for it, take the bread tour with us and remember to vote for your favorite on Facebook or Instagram.

Bismarck Magazine Picks DESSERTS WITH DONNELL Dessert is often considered the end of a meal. The final chapter if you will. The last hurrah. Finite, over, done. For me however, the saying, “Life is unpredictable, eat dessert first,” seems to apply. It was a sign that could be found in my favorite ice cream shop growing up. The premise behind it still holds true. Why wait to reward yourself when you can have all the sweetness life has to offer now, literally first, while your stomach still has plenty of room to enjoy every bite, spoonful or glorious scoop.

I am thankful to report on six delectable locations in Bismarck/ Mandan offering some of the tastiest treats ready to be the “first” part of your next night out.

1.

Bistro promises a warm atmosphere along with the unique flavor of their highly sought after souffle.

2. Pirogue always delights with unique blends of flavor. The North Dakota Honey & Ricotta Cheesecake did not disappoint.

3. Fast becoming a downtown staple, the Starving Rooster presents an interesting combination of maple bacon ice cream. Trust me, it is one that cannot be judged on the name alone, as the flavor is sure to surprise.

4. They may be famous for their hamburgers, but I go to The Woodhouse for the coconut

cream pie. Apparently, I am the only person in the tri-state area who doesn’t know it’s only available on Wednesday, trust me, it was worth the wait!

offering one of the best bread puddings I’ve ever had the pleasure of trying, of course there was a bit of Jameson with it, on it, all over it. YUM!

5.

Anima Cucina may be new to the area, but the owners are not, as evidenced by their desserts. Their menu includes one of my personal favorites, the amazing Tiramisu.

At the end of the day, life can be unpredictable, so eat these desserts first! Enjoy!

Two prominent styles are American and Continental.

The history behind the two styles is disputed, but there is one prominent theory.

Eating utensils, particularly forks, became popular in the 16th century among Europeans. They would switch the fork to their dominant hand after cutting with it in the other to eat more smoothly. It also lent a sense of sophistication to the meal. This is what we now
