South Dakota on a Plate

The Travel South Dakota Stories

The South Dakota culinary scene is heavily influenced by Indigenous people, Scandinavians, Germans, Russians, farmers, hunters… and even church basement ladies. From all those sources the state has a smorgasbord of local specialties with names as exotic as some of the dishes themselves.

Join us as we go on a four-course road trip around South Dakota. Our appetizer is the state’s ‘official nosh’ chislic, followed by a James Beard winning restaurant in a town of 1,800 people, and finish up with some world-famous donuts from Wall Drug for dessert. Then of course we need a digestif. Although the one we try is… just dangerous. - Brian Thacker, presenter
