First Dakota is celebrating 150 years of business by remembering the many things that make South Dakota great. In addition to our truck giveaways, we're thanking our communities by creating a new cookbook loaded with local recipes. Best of all? 100% of proceeds go to the South Dakota Community Foundation.
The First Dakota 150th anniversary cookbook will feature dozens of delicious family recipes submitted by South Dakotans. We're talking hot dishes, special salad dressings, quirky desserts—whatever Dakota cuisine means to you. Please sign up for email updates to be notified when cookbooks are available. The submission deadline has ended.
Chislic, cubed red meat (venison, lamb, deer or game) that's usually deep-fried and salted, is a dish that's unique to South Dakota, and varies slightly in preparation from region to region within the state. Our recipe calls for lamb to be marinated in Worcestershire sauce and chili powder before being fried. Add a savory touch by dipping in garlic salt, and then skewer and demolish with saltines.
A light and flaky crust holds a dollop of candied fruit or cream cheese that's surrounded by a fluffy pillow of dough. Although these beloved treats are traditionally considered a wedding dessert, you don’t have to get hitched to enjoy them here.
We partnered with Ben's Brewing Co. to bring you Dakota Thirst and Cash Flow—two new beers to thank our customers for 150 years.
