LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER Alana Snyder PUBLISHER Alana Snyder DIRECTOR OF SALES AND MARKETING John Snyder MULTIMEDIA DESIGNER Yany Avelar EDITORIAL ASSISTANT Kyle Determan ACCOUNT MANAGER Taylor Hanson PUBLISHING COPY EDITOR Kristal Seeden

CONTRIBUTORS Denise DePaolo Alexa Giebink Andrea Van Essen CIRCULATION The holidays are here! Sometimes it's hard to think past composing your "out of office" reply and heading to see friends and family.

Taija Crawford Annie Fuss Austin Kaus Chad Konrad

One thing many take for granted is the part where you belly up to a

prepared.

Brad Zimmerman

As 605 freelancer Denise DePaolo reports in this issue, Feeding South Dakota (our cover story) supplies 2.9 million emergency meals each year.

ADVERTISING INQUIRIES (605) 274-1999 ex. 2 sales@605magazine.com

That's insane. Almost half of the individuals served by Feeding South Dakota food pantries are children and infants.

CORRESPONDENCE 300 N. Cherapa Place, Suite 504 Sioux Falls, S.D. 57103

It's a tough reality to digest. It's here where I usually continue to tease what else is in December's issue, but instead, here are some things I was grateful for in 2018: My family and friends. My staff. South Dakota and its people. Being kind. Let's be kind to each other. Let's step away from keyboards. Let's make 2019 count.

TOUCH OF ITALY:

R Wine Bar Comes to Downtown Sioux Falls BY ALEXA GIEBINK

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

FTER YEARS OF CULTIVATING HIS PASSION FOR WINE, RICCARDO TARABELSI IS EAGER TO SHARE HIS KNOWLEDGE AND PALATE WITH SIOUX FALLS DINERS. The Italian native opened R Wine Bar in the historic Frank Building at 322 E. 8th Street in downtown Sioux Falls in October (the R is for the first initial of his first name).

“I grew up in a very Italian household,” said Tarabelsi. “We only spoke Italian at home and there was

he couldn’t pass up, so he put his dream on the back burner.

Tarabelsi was born in Florence, Italy, moved to Boston when he was 5, and has now called Sioux Falls home for many years.

As Fernson’s vice president of sales and marketing, Tarabelsi learned how to create a brand from scratch and have it become a local hit.

“Wine was always kind of a part of my life and my upbringing,” said Tarabelsi, who got serious about the industry when he worked at the old Spezia location. “I think what really sparked my passion even more was my ability to teach others about it.” At every point in his career, it’s been about educating not just his employees, but his guests as well. Four years ago, Tarabelsi had plans to open up a wine bar when he was asked to be a part of the team that launched Fernson Brewing Company. It was an opportunity

“Wine has always been this pull for me because, even as the craft beer thing grew, there wasn’t a day that went by someone didn’t ask me about wine because they still saw me as a trusted source,” he said. “So, a wine bar is a natural fit.” R Wine Bar offers 20 wines by the glass and 50 by the bottle, as well as an Italian-themed menu featuring two charcuterie boards, three salads, and five paninis. Tarabelsi and his head chef Jerrica Kang hope to expand the menu soon to include pasta and pizza.

TAKE A JOURNEY THROUGH TUSCANY ON YOUR PALATE WITH THIS WINE PROGRESSION.

TABLE RED BLEND

This mix of Sangiovese (native red grape of Tuscany) and Cabernet is a nice entry level introduction to the Italian region.

CHIANTI CLASSICO

Then, kick it up a notch and see the difference in quality with this glass of 100 percent Sangiovese after some barrel aging.

BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO

Finish your tour of Tuscany with a glass of Riccardo’s favorite. This wine is aged for four years in oak and one year in the bottle before its release.

Hill City

First known as Hillyo, Hill City was the second town in the Black Hills in conjunction with the 1876 discovery of placer gold deposits in Spring Creek. The town that bustles during tourist season only slows down a bit as it has something for everyone, from an authentic 1880 steam train to Teddy Bears to dinosaurs to wineries to great food to bed and breakfasts. 605 explored just a few ideas for a day in “the Heart of the Hills.”

THERE ARE FOUR BEAUTIFULLY FURNISHED ROOMS TO RENT ABOVE THE RESTAURANT.

FOR LUNCH OR DINNER O ALPINE INN

Wally came to the United States from Stuttgart, Germany in 1961 and moved to Hill City in 1970. She acquired the Harney Peak Hotel in 1974, and after housing a variety of businesses, it became the Alpine Inn in 1984. The world-renowned eatery on the corner of Main and Elm Street has been in the family for three decades, and now daughter Monika “is on the helm.” Ethnic German and contemporary dishes are their game, including a large lunch menu that is known for items like Schnitzel (breaded pork served with German potato salad, sauerkraut, red cabbage, and German bread) and Reuben (grilled pastrami, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island on German bread, or “Make it Red” by trying red cabbage instead of sauerkraut). Sides include the famous German Potato Salad, Kaes Spaetzle, and German Bread, which are all Matush’s recipes.

Their “streamlined evening menu” simply features Filet Mignon (bacon-wrapped filet mignon served with a baked potato) or Kaes Spaetzle Primavera (German dumplings and Swiss cheese served with fresh vegetables and Texas toast). Luckily for patrons, Alpine Inn is open year round (except for a few weeks in early January when they take a break for updates). Be ready for a wait, as it's typically packed, especially during busy seasons. “It changes, like right now it’s going down, but we still are busy on the weekends,” said Matush. “And if the weather is nice, people come from Rapid City on the weekends, especially.” Don’t even think about leaving without ordering one of their 32 homemade desserts. “You must try the Bread Pudding,” said Matush. With the authentic experience and people, it seems there will be lines for decades to come. “Oh, I love people,” said Matush. “I love to entertain, and [that] is how it all started.” Open Monday through Saturday 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., and 5-9:30 p.m. (605) 574-2749 ALPINEINNHILLCITY.COM

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

Alpine Inn is a Black Hills staple. This fine European dining experience is “steeped in mellow old-world charm.” Founder (or “Matron Saint” of the Alpine Inn) Waldtraut “Wally” Matush refers to the warm atmosphere as Gemütlichkeit.

FOR SHOPPING O THINGS THAT ROCK 156 MAIN ST.

Cori Gallucci and her mother, Shari, started Things That Rock in 2012 with a passion for stones and gemstone jewelry. Wanting to go full time, Cori and her husband, Michael, recently bought Shari out and have become the new owners of the company, which focuses on wellness. “We as a store definitely have an emphasis on the metaphysical property of the stones,” said Michael. “That’s sort of our bread and butter. You’ll find that every rock shop in the area sort of has its niche, or at least its specialty, and that would be ours.” The store also emphasizes they’re more than “ just another rock shop.” Other product lines include salt and onyx lamps, books on geology and spirituality, singing bowls, meditation tools and aids, aromatherapy featuring essential oils, diffusers, and a fully-equipped beading store. “We’ll be doing beading classes throughout the winter,” said Cori. When it comes to their inventory, though, the couple stresses that they’re very involved in what’s on their shelves. “Every item here is hand-selected by us, which means you’re going to get something of great quality,” said Michael. “It’s also something unique, and that’s the great thing about rocks, in general, is every single rock is totally unique.” The store will be moving down Main Street next to the Hill City Harley-Davidson store. Michael said, “Look for an expansion of [our selection] of herbs, the apothecary side to our business. There will also be more to come [at the new storefront] in terms of herbal supplements, more teas, and herbs for health and wellness."

AND SICK-N-TWISTED BREWERY

23851 HWY. 385

When you make a stop at Naked Winery and Sick-N-Twisted Brewery, make sure to not take yourself too seriously. That’s how owner Rob Livingston likes it. “I think when you’re here, it’s pretty relaxing,” said Livingston. “We don’t take anything too serious. We make serious wine, serious beer, but we like to have fun and enjoy it; take the pecksniffery out of the wine and the beer tastings.” The facility has 48 wines and over 20 beers on tap. “[Visitors] can either do the wine or the beer together,” he said. “So if one person likes wine and the other likes beer, they can do both at the same location.” As one could imagine from the branding, the names of the wines and beer go along with the same vibe. A wine drinker? Have a tasting that includes Booty Call Sweet Blush, Cougar Semi Sparkling White, Oh! Orgasmic Cabernet Sauvignon, or Foreplay Chardonnay. “Probably our most popular is our Burlesque Blackberry wine,” said Livingston. “It’s a very popular wine as far as that goes. And then we’re definitely known for our dry reds.”

Smokejumper Station:

A Taste of Firehouse in Hill City

BY ANDREA VAN ESSEN

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

IF THE NAME FIREHOUSE BREWING SOUNDS LIKE THAT OF AN OLD FRIEND, IT’S PROBABLY BECAUSE THE DOWNTOWN BREWERY HAS BEEN AN ICON OF RAPID CITY’S MAIN STREET FOR OVER 25 YEARS. In fact, it was South Dakota’s very first brewery, dating back to 1991. At the time, downtown Rapid City was far from the bustling hub of shops and restaurants that it is today. With numerous vacant storefronts, much of the city’s traffic bypassed downtown in favor of the mall. “Firehouse [Brewing Company] was the first innovative business to set the tone for what we have today,” said general manager, Michelle Pawelski. And to this day, they continue to expand and enhance their line of quality brews and wines. With feet firmly planted in the Black Hills’ beer and wine scene, the newest addition to the Firehouse family opened to the public on June 26—Firehouse Smokejumper Station. Joining the growing lineup of breweries and wineries along Highway 385 leading into Hill City, Smokejumper is a tasting room, serving both Firehouse beer and wine, as well as a small food menu.

“Hill City already has a great kind of wine and beer trail going on 385 anyway, so we just added another part to that,” said Pawelski. “It can really be an adventure for anyone who’s looking for wine and beer, because there’s just so much on that small part of the road.” “We’re really proud to be part of that neighborhood,” added Kara Sweet, Firehouse’s wine club manager and sommelier. The idea for Smokejumper came about as an opportunity to share what Firehouse has to offer with the rest of the Black Hills. For tourists and locals alike, it offers an outlet to try their brews and wines, outside of Rapid City. “Though a lot of people travel throughout the Black Hills, sometimes they just don’t make it all the way to Rapid by the end of the day,” said Sweet.

roof. In downtown Rapid City, you have to visit the brewing company and wine cellars separately. The menu at Smokejumper is also quite different from the pub-style fare at the brewing company. “We’re really focusing on locally sourced food from farmers around the area, trying to get that perfect pairing with our wine and beer,” said Sweet. “It’s a small but mighty menu.” With both the beer and wine industries in South Dakota showing no signs of slowing down, Pawelski and Sweet see Smokejumper as a natural fit for the Black Hills. “In general, I think people are starting to appreciate wine more, whether they’re tourists or locals,” said Sweet. Firehouse’s cellars produce a more traditional array of wines than other local wineries, which focus on sweeter, fruitbased wines.

“We’ve seen a huge increase in our area of those more traditional grape drinkers,” said Pawelski. In fact, Firehouse’s wine club membership jumped from around 325 to upwards of 900 over the last year and a half. And with about 15 wines on rotation and eight beers on tap (four standard and four rotating), there’s no shortage of options for the adventurous palate at Smokejumper Station. Beyond the food and drink varietals, Smokejumper offers guests an open, airy space to relax while they sip. The building dates back to the 1940s and was rehabbed in “modern cabin” style. Think pine walls, metal accents, and Edison light bulbs. Children are welcome in the tasting room, but they’ll likely prefer to be outside, weather-

In the future, they hope to be a popular choice for events, including weddings and banquets. “It’s really exciting to see how much we’ve grown and how many unique and different things we’ve added to the area, from opening as the state’s first brewery in ‘91, and now adding our third wine and beer location,” said Pawelski. “It’s gone from being a small-time brewery to developing a lot of different areas that people can come and visit, and it’s been fun to see that grow."

HANG OUT WITH

Sion Lidster

Sion Lidster, founder of The Blot Collective, and Jason Kurtz, founder of South Dakota Writes, recently took on the venture of opening a brick and mortar for the literary community—the Full Circle Book Co-op. The duo raised over $12,500 via Kickstarter to cover expenses for the downtown space that shares and sells works of authors.

The co-op will also act as an event space, a bookstore, and will act as a hub for “creative people and their endeavors.” Patrons can also enjoy food and drinks, including beer and coffee. 605 found out what a day in Lidster’s life looks like when he’s not slammed with planning events or chatting all things of the written word. I love to walk around the city, writing. There is so much inspiration—historical, architectural, cultural… I keep a small notepad in my pocket and try to find alternative routes around and see what new ways of seeing that gives me. You can take this further by transplanting an image of another place over a map of Sioux Falls, bringing two places together, and see where that takes you! A five minute walk from my house takes me to Total Drag [1]. Dan and Liz Nissen have been a big inspiration to me while starting the Full Circle Book Co-op. I loved their business model, their attitude, and what they have done for the community. They were a building block showing what can be done, and I know I’m not the only one who thinks this. 2

Lalibela [2] is one of my favorite places to eat in town. It was a shame when the old one got taken away, but I am very excited to go to the new location. Excellent food, and totally not pretentious—it’s hard to be dainty when you are eating delicious stews with your hands! Monks House of Ale Repute [3] has always been very good to us. We started our "Beer and Poetry" nights there, and they were super accommodating, which we will always be grateful for. Delicious brews, always something new, and a colorful and comfortable atmosphere. If I am ever in the mood to get some artistic inspiration, I head over to Jam Arts & Supplies. As much as I love their ethos and prices, I take even more from the community that they’ve built there and the people I run into.

send people our way to donate the books that they weren't able to sell to Last Stop, which is a sign of how the independent community here in Sioux Falls works together. Riding the Sioux Area Metro [5] has always put me in a reflective state. That’s important for writing, and I have gotten a lot of poetry written on those commutes. I support public transport. Walk, ride bikes, hop a bus, get a Lyft. There’s so much more to see that way.

Monstrous Little Theatre Company always puts on great performances. They are an independent theater company based here in Sioux Falls. They produce original works as well as more established performances (their take on Sartre’s No Exit was phenomenal). The Retreat at Pointer’s Ridge is an excellent little non-profit getaway for writers and artists here. Located less than 10 miles north from Sioux Falls, they provide a writing cabin, a community hall/ kitchen, a beautiful A-frame, and a huge outdoor fire pit perfect for reading and reflection. Super affordable and accommodating. My favorite thing right now is to take a moment before the book co-op opens and take a look at the Dylan Thomas mural [6] on our wall. It reads, “Do not go gentle into that good night.” As a Welsh man running a book bar, I naturally had to paint Wales’ most famous drunken poet sitting up on our highchairs, looking over. It’s then that I open the doors and welcome whatever “good night” is in store for us all at the FCBC.

Last Stop [4] has long been my post work day go-to. I’ll go browse the book shelves and check out the community boards. They’ve flown the flag for poetry by hosting readings there for years. Plus, they

JENNA & RICHARD WATKINS

WHEN JENNA AND RICHARD WATKINS BUILT THEIR 2,400 SQUARE FOOT RANCH IN ROCKERVILLE, THE STYLE THEY HAD IN MIND WAS MODERN FARMHOUSE. “I think it became less modern and turned completely farmhouse,” laughed Jenna. The couple, who both work for the South Dakota Army National Guard, have lived in their home just 16 minutes outside of Rapid City with son Landon, 8, and daughter, Merica, 5, for a year now.

The Location AFTER PUTTING THEIR LAST HOME ON THE MARKET, THE WATKINS FOUND WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS THEIR DREAM HOUSE. “IT SOLD A DAY BEFORE OURS SOLD, SO WE MISSED OUT ON IT,” SHE SAID. “AND WE WERE KIND OF LEFT LIKE, WHAT DO WE DO?” LAND BECAME AVAILABLE IN ROCKERVILLE, WHICH IS WHERE JENNA GREW UP. KNOWING THE SMALL TOWN HAS US HIGHWAY 16 RUNNING THROUGH IT, SHE WORRIED ABOUT TRAFFIC. AFTER MUCH DEBATE, THEY DROVE OUT TO THE FOURAND-A-HALF ACRES AND REALIZED HOW REMOTE AND PRIVATE IT WAS. “WE FINALLY GAVE IT A SHOT ONE SATURDAY AFTERNOON, AND CAME OUT HERE AND GOT OUT AND WALKED IT, AND WERE LIKE, ‘OH, MAN, WAIT A SECOND. WE ALMOST PASSED UP SOMETHING GOOD,’” SHE SAID.

O THE KITCHEN

The kitchen, says Jenna, is where everything started. After seeing almost the exact same kitchen on Pinterest, she knew she had to have it.

“Working with our builder, we said, this is the one must have,” she said. “So we wanted roughly the square footage we ended up building, and we wanted this kitchen, which was pretty close to the picture I had found. Then the rest kind of came about after that.” The inspiration also came about after Jenna says she watched Chip and Joanna Gaines on Fixer Upper. “It wasn’t until Chip and Joanna came around that I realized this could even be a style.”

O DINING ROOM The main floor space has an open floor plan with the kitchen, dining area, and living room. Near the dining table is a space Jenna created with a dresser and meaningful trinkets. An elk Rich shot hangs above, which is one of many taxidermy pieces sprinkled throughout the house. “I found the dresser at the 2nd Time Around store in [Rapid City]. It was that ‘70s look and definitely had a layer of that polyurethane or something still on it, so I sanded it,” she said. “When we moved in we wanted ‘white this’ and ‘gray that.’ Once it all came about, I was like, ‘It’s really white and gray that now it’s looking a little coastal.’ The warmth of the woods helped.”

“THE LIVING ROOM IS OUR DOWNTIME, AND SO THAT’S WHERE WE GET TO JUST HANG AND CHILL OUT.” - RICH How does she decide what goes where on the shelves? “It’s kind of ever-changing,” she said. “I am super visual, and I follow a lot of people on Instagram who have those home blogs and try to replicate some of their ideas. I’m constantly moving things around.”

Even the bedroom managed to have antlers here and there.

It’s a chair that has been passed down in the family. “That is from my mom’s, mom’s childhood, and so she had it growing up,” she said. “And then I had it in my bedroom growing up.

is Landon’s room. A room that he, according to Jenna, rarely goes in. “He hates being down here, so it’s pretty untouched,” she said. “Usually it looks like this except the bed is just messy. So I’m like, ‘Well, it’s easy.’” Each room is very unique and very much represents each child, which was intentional. The Watkins built their last house as well, and Jenna says they found the process took time away from the kids. “The second time around we said, okay, Mom has the kids for four days or whatever, it was when we were moving,” she said. “I said my main goal is to get their rooms completely done, decorated, like come in and feel like, ‘Oh, my gosh, here I am.’ So that’s what I did with their bedrooms. Those were the first two rooms that I wanted to tackle.”

O END Learning from two home building processes, the Watkins advise those who are interested in building to find a builder they trust. “Most builders are able to tell you, ‘If you’re wanting to stay in this price range with this square footage, then I suggest maybe we stay away from that.’ It’s just helpful in the process overall,” said Jenna. And while all of their rooms are filled with purpose and memories, Rich will always be in the garage, where the rest of the taxidermy can (in an organized fashion) be found. Rich laughed, “That’s my space for sure.”•

WAGING A WAR ON HUNGER F e e d i n g S o u t h D a ko ta BY DENISE DEPAOLO

ON THE COVER

hen we think of concepts like poverty, starvation, and food insecurity, it can be easy to conjure images of gauntfaced children in far-off places. We compartmentalize these words and images, because the idea that anyone could starve in 2018 is horrific and shameful—especially in our own communities. The idea that our next-door neighbor could be unsure where their next meal is coming from is incomprehensible —because that means it could happen to us, too. The reality is one in nine South Dakotans–and one in six children in South Dakota–live with food insecurity. They come from all walks of life. Each has unique circumstances, and often, they’re not the people we’d expect. That’s why Feeding South Dakota is taking a multi-front approach to its war on hunger–both geographically and operationally. Feeding South Dakota operates food pantries in Sioux Falls and Rapid City and food banks in Pierre, Sioux Falls, and Rapid City–plus three mobile food pantries dedicated to the eastern, central, and western portions of the state.

FEEDING SOUTH DAKOTA ACCEPTS HOME-GROWN PRODUCE. THEY JUST CANNOT ACCEPT HOME PROCESSED CANNED, JARRED, OR FROZEN PRODUCE.

The organization is taking direct aim at childhood hunger with its BackPack Program, school food pantries, and summer snack programs. It’s also looking out for older South Dakotans, by distributing boxes of commodities to low-income senior citizens.

WHO BENEFITS The Feeding South Dakota team thinks of the assistance they provide to their guests as a “hand up,” rather than a handout. They know that it’s hard for most people to ask for help, and they’ve gone to considerable effort to make the pantries and their waiting areas warm, inviting spaces for guests and their children. Likewise, the pantry shopping experience is designed to feel like a trip to any regular grocery store. Guests can choose the items their family will eat, including fresh foods like fruits and vegetables, dairy products and meat, in addition to premade meals and significant amounts of bread and pastries. It’s a model that honors the dignity of guests, and leaves them with a sense that someone in their community has their back. According to Jennifer Stensaas, Feeding South Dakota’s marketing and communications coordinator, many of the people

who visit their pantries aren’t receiving government assistance of any kind. Day-in and day-out, they meet first-time visitors who are just trying to make it to their next paycheck. These guests aren’t eligible for government assistance, because their income is slightly higher than the threshold, and they’re among those who struggle most with food insecurity.

“THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WE'RE SERVING ARE WORKING POOR FAMILIES. THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE MOST OFTEN WORKING HOURLY-PAY JOBS AND JUST NOT ABLE TO MAKE ENDS MEET.” - JENNIFER

“I think people are often surprised when we say the majority of the people we're serving are working

poor families,” said Stensaas. “These are people that are most often working hourly-pay jobs and just not able to make ends meet. Of course, there are some who have had that one tragedy that has put them in a place where they're not able to provide for their families. That can be a car accident or being laid off from a job, and they just don't have that savings built up to provide for the next three to six months. So a lot of the people that we see, they're working–they’re just not able to make ends meet.” One recent example Stensaas shares is about a local family in which the mother lost her full-time job, and decided to go back to school and pursue her bachelor’s degree. In addition to taking a full course load, she’s working parttime. Since paying for daycare is out of the question, her husband splits his time between caring for their children and his part-time job, but two part-time incomes

don’t stretch far enough. “They're both living with very limited income while she's working to better the future for their entire family. So we're here for them on a temporary basis for as long as they need us, until they can get themselves back up to a place of being stable.” Feeding South Dakota isn’t in the business of feeding everyone every day, but rather, it serves as an important bridge during the toughest part of the month to get people to the next paycheck or SNAP installment. When visiting a pantry, a family typically leaves with 50-75 pounds of food, which shakes out to roughly five days of sustenance. Guests can come once every 90 days, no questions asked. They just need to bring an ID and a piece of mail to confirm their address.

ON THE COVER

GIVING BACK Feeding South Dakota has a small, dedicated staff, but volunteerism is the organization’s lifeblood. It takes an army to distribute food to all corners of a state so vast and rural, with so many food deserts. That means there are always opportunities to pitch in–including packing backpacks for children and boxes for seniors, filling bags of food at mobile food pantries and stocking pantry shelves. For those without spare time to volunteer, remote philanthropy has never been easier. In addition to straight-forward fundraising websites like GoFundMe and Crowdrise, Facebook users now get a notification two weeks before their birthday, asking whether they’d like to dedicate their special day to one of more than 750,000 organizations. This trend is particularly exciting for the Feeding South Dakota team, because long-standing partnerships with large retailers like Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, and Costco mean they can make dollars stretch farther than members of the public can. For example, an individual could buy two boxes of cereal, and the organization could use the same amount to buy a dozen boxes. While some prefer to do their part with a few clicks of their mouse, others still enjoy the visceral experience of delivering boxes of food collected through oldfashioned food drives. For those who choose to go that

route, Feeding South Dakota recommends calling to find out which items are most needed at that particular time. Some workplaces even do themed food drives, like the Sioux Falls Police Department’s recent peanut butter and jelly drive.

“EVERYBODY COULD BE ONE TRAGEDY AWAY FROM NEEDING FOOD ASSISTANCE. IT COULD BE YOUR NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR.” - JENNIFER

An increasing number of businesses, including Midco, Raven Industries, and Wells Fargo have ingrained giving back as part of their company culture. Groups from these and other organizations regularly volunteer as assembly line workers, filling thousands of backpacks and boxes each year–and many of the companies are giving their employees the time to do it. “They use this often as a team building exercise,” said Stensaas. “What's more fun than getting out of the office and talking with your team members–not talking about business, but getting to know your coworkers in an intimate setting outside of your everyday working life? They’re having fun and building stronger relationships. I think it makes them better employees when they get back to work.”

RESPONSIBLE STEWA RD S HI P For those looking to donate to a local non-profit before the end of 2018, Stensaas hopes people will consider giving to Feeding South Dakota. As the state’s only food banking system, her team realizes the importance of their mission. “I think what it boils down to is that our mission is so it's such a basic need that can hit anyone at any time,” she said. “Everybody could be one tragedy away from needing food assistance. It could be your next-door neighbor.” And, she emphasizes, the organization endeavors to be good stewards of its dollars through transparency and growing relationships with partner organizations aimed at making the biggest impact possible with those donations. Through strategic planning,

Feeding South Dakota keeps its administrative costs low, enabling 95 cents out of every dollar to benefit programming expenses.

The war against hunger is an ongoing battle, and one that may never be fully won, but in the age of virtual fundraising and increased social consciousness, Stensaas knows that each donation of food, money or time chips away at the cycle of poverty in our state. And by taking a thoughtful approach to the guests’ experience, Feeding South Dakota is eroding the stigma of asking for a hand up, too.

HE 605 TEAM WAS CHATTING VIA TMZ OFFICE STYLE (JUST KIDDING… NOT REALLY) ABOUT WHAT RESTAURANTS WERE NEW IN THE STATE.

TRY IT:

“What about the Mexican place that took over Starz?”

APPETIZERS

We all stared at Taylor Hanson, 605’s account manager.

AVOCADO DIP

“What?! Something moved in and it’s open?” I asked in dismay. Es la verdad. And it’s called Rudy’s M. Navarrete’s Tex-Mexican Restaurant.

Homemade dip made with ripe avocados blended with seasoning and lemon juice.

SPICY DIP Melted cheddar cheese blended with signature hot sauce.

SALAD TACO SALAD Crisp flour shell with choice of topping. Comes with lettuce, tomato, and cheese.

ENTRÉES BURRITO WITH CHILI GRAVY Flour tortilla filled with choice of fillings (beef, chicken, steak, bean, rice) and topped with chili gravy and melted cheese.

TACO BURGER Choice of filling. Comes with baked cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomato, all piled high on a fresh bun.

TAMALE Thick cornmeal wrapped around seasoned pork.

DESSERTS HONEY CINNAMON CRISP Crisp shell with cinnamon sugar and honey butter, then baked.

O RUDY M. NAVARRETE’S CONT.

I looked it up online, and right away you see Rudy is very proud of the origin of the business. His grandmother, Eulalia Navarrete, moved to Sioux City, Iowa from Arlington, Texas in the 1960s and opened a restaurant in the early 1970s “sticking to traditional and familiar foods,” like ground beef, rice, and beans. It stayed in the family, and Rudy started grating cheese and doing dishes when he was 8 years old. He worked at a restaurant using passed-down and new recipes with his father (also named Rudy) called Rudy Navarrete's Mexican Food in Sioux City, and recently opened his version to carry on the legacy in Sioux Falls on 57th Street and Western Avenue at The Bridges. Not only do I know this from the website, but it’s on a mural in the entrance and is also on the menu. 605’s Yany Avelar and I stopped by on a chilly afternoon, ready to feast. Rudy came out to say hello and gave us the lowdown on the mix of Tex-Mex and Mexican, and how their recipes have definitely changed since his grandmother just offered the beef, beans, and rice. “We have authentic Mexican dishes, along with Americanized Tex-Mex,” he said. As these experiences mostly start off, they brought us chips and salsa, along with what Yany said was a taco

6 8 \\\\\\\\\ D E C E M B E R

sauce. Rudy gave a slight push for one of us to try it as a “red beer,” but I wasn’t ready for such a task. I soon realized I was dancing in my chair with each bite of my chip, which was the perfect amount of crunchy, and also had a “just right” ratio of salt to chip. The salsa was chunky, but not too chunky, and was pretty mild, which I love. There was hot sauce at the table if we wanted to add more of a kick. Yany tried the taco sauce (if that’s what it was?). ”I like chunky salsa better, so I don’t know if I would want taco sauce with chips,” she said. “It’s more salty than spicy, in my opinion.” Rudy himself let us know the Rudy Special was ready. The house dish features a crispy flour shell with choice of filling, which ours was beef, and had the signature chili gravy, onion, and cheddar cheese topped with another crisp flour shell with baked cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Try saying all of that in one breath. It was then that we noticed each place setting had one fork wrapped in a napkin. Strange, especially for people like us who are sharing, but we got a knife 30 seconds after asking for one.

”There’s a ton of cheese, but it’s still really good,” said Yany, who isn’t supposed to eat much dairy (and didn’t tell him that because she wanted the experience FYI). “It’s just really easy Tex-Mex, I like it.”

This “crowd favorite since 1996” (according the menu) wasn’t lying. After a few bites, I was hooked.

Whatever this house-made chili gravy is, I need more of it in my life. Honestly, I went into another world after a few bites, and then Yany said

the most truthful thing ever: “It’s essentially a giant nacho.” It was. And it was glorious. Of course my first sentence was, “Can you imagine eating this hungover?” We also had a side of rice, which was different. It had quite a bit of tomato, and Yany mentioned it tasted a lot like tomato soup at first.

O RUDY M. NAVARRETE’S CONT.

Enjoy

Flavors include original, mango, and strawberry. Navarrete recommends mixing flavors for a unique experience.

HALF-OFF MARGARITAS FROM 5-9 P.M. ON MONDAYS. “The more I eat it, the more I really like it,” she said. “It gives me a flavor of something I ate when I was little.” Next up was the Flour Entomatada, which Rudy said was a unique dish to the restaurant. His grandmother created it in the 1940s, and it has a choice of fillings, and is topped with mild tomato sauce, onion, cheddar cheese, and is “baked to perfection.” This dish also had beef and tasted very beefy (again, I’m so good at food descriptions and food reviews). The tomato-heavy theme carried over into this as well. Obviously they’re fans of tomatoes here. Before I get too sidetracked, I forgot to mention that starting with our first entree we had the Supreme It! come out with it. This includes lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and black olives. You can normally get it for only two dollars. This was my favorite part. I thrived in choosing the right amount of toppings to add to each offering (I made a point to thank Rudy for his generosity with the black olive count).

BOT TOM LINE I really respected the family unit behind the brand and the recipes. Rudy came by and explained the dishes to us and proudly told us about his grandmother teaching him recipes and methods. Any love behind a dish shows, and to think he’s been involved in the business since 8 years old is very admirable.

And back at the actual flow of things, next up was the Chicken Mole Enchilada Special. What is mole, you ask? According to the menu, it is a dark sauce with a hint of spice. Their Tex-Mexican version is a corn tortilla with chicken mole wrapped up and topped with cheddar cheese, a side of rice, and beans. In regards to mole, Rudy said his grandmother taught him how to “make it to perfection.” This legit melted in my mouth. Need I say more? Oh yeah, and then I added my Supreme It! toppings to make it even better. Bloating to the brim, the Enchilada came out. This corn tortilla with choice of filling was topped with signature chili gravy, onion, and baked cheddar cheese. I love me some enchiladas, so this was good. If I were coming for my first time, though, I would try the Rudy Special or the Mole. (Cue Austin Powers mole mole mole.)

TASTE

Rudy’s ditched several walls that separated everyone and they opened up the building. The bar is adorable with the tin roof and margarita machines going, which gets the vibe flowing. As I noted, there is a mural right in the entrance that tells the family’s story, which is a nice way to start the experience.

This is super reasonable. Most options range from $4-$8, and the taco bar, which includes a drink, is $12. Many addons are around $.50 - $2.

I thought it was tasty, especially the Rudy Special. Imagine this: You’re out with friends. You say you’re only going to have one beer. You then have three to four beers. Shots start flowing. You wake up and hate yourself. Until… you realize there’s the Rudy Special. You then rejoice. Also, I would totally just go for after work drinks and chips and salsa.

Where the Child Things Are:

Presents or Presence? BY KYLE DETERMAN

et’s be honest, the holidays are a whirlwind of emotions, travel, and burnt family recipes (I still can’t eat asparagus). On top of that, you add being a new parent and somehow you are still expected to make the fake Christmas tree smell real and act surprised when Grandma gives you socks.

But, what if we went back to the basics of holidays and reveled in the fact that we have the ability to make traditions, memories, and experiences for our kids? I was usually not-so-patiently collecting scraps of wrapping paper while waiting for my turn. However, for the life of me, I can’t remember what those scraps so delicately held just seconds before. It’s

probably safe to say there were some clothes, a game or two, and I think I got a bike one year. What I can remember is when it snowed in Texas and when Santa left a trail of cookie crumbs throughout my house. I remember the lightning storm of excitement in finding out we were going to Disney. I remember the moments.

In the midst of looking back at past holidays, I was writing Sloan’s Christmas list, and suddenly something occurred to me; if those gifts were nowhere to be found both in my home or in my memories, did they really mean that much to me? Were they more important than the time I spent explaining Frogger to my dad or decorating the “fancy” tree with my mom? So, I stopped searching "Gifts for Babies" on Pinterest, and started talking with my husband, Reid, about our fondest childhood memories and what they meant to us. Something beautiful happened in this transition from materials to moments and I realized how vital this first holiday season was. It was our chance to start new traditions. It was our chance to make memories that we could laugh about. It was our chance to be the family that goes to the tree farm and forgets the diaper bag on top of the car, and loses the tree halfway home. Our kids deserve to play with new toys and wear horrid jumpsuits that will haunt them clear into high school, but

they also deserve to cherish memories that will hopefully lead to their own traditions. It’s crazy to think about Sloan’s own family, especially since she has just mastered the art of fitting both fists into her mouth. What’s even crazier is thinking this Christmas season doesn’t matter just because she won’t remember it. There is no such thing as a bad time to start a legacy, to start something that carries validity and importance past the roasted chestnuts and Hallmark movies. What do you give a baby for Christmas? You give them time. You give them yourselves. You give them love. Whether that is taking cheesy pictures or starting their ornament collection, it doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it’s yours. Someone once said your children won’t remember you for the material things, but for the feeling you gave them. Take this giving season as the opportunity to create a feeling that transcends the here and now, and be present this holiday season.•

Always Create. Never Crumble.

BY KYLE DETERMAN

ometimes ideas come from experience, a dream, or even necessity. For Jean Magnuson, mom turned preschool teacher, it was all three. During her time at Mayo Clinic, Magnuson was undergoing physical therapy for rheumatoid arthritis and had the realization that normal play dough was not good enough, so she took it upon herself to develop something that was. “My therapist and I both agreed we didn’t like regular play dough, so she told me to come up with something different. I promised her I would,” said Magnuson. In comes the invention of Dexterity Dough. Actually, it began as "Discovery Dough," until Magnuson discovered how difficult it was to trademark "discovery." “My daughter Emily came up with ‘Dexterity Dough’ and then she read me the definition of dexterity, which read: 'Skill in using one’s hands, mind or body.' That seemed to fit,” Magnuson explained. With the tagline “be inspired, be creative, be bold,” there was a sense of childhood wonder and hope from the beginning. With the name and brand solidified, Magnuson was faced with the task of creating a playdough that was good for the skin, long-lasting, and most importantly, didn’t crumble. “I consulted chemists, scientists, bakers, and aromatherapy experts. It took about seven years to perfect the recipe, which is now a trade secret,” revealed Magnuson.
