FOOD + DRINK
THE GRUFF PLATES + POURS IN BRANDON “Having 17 small towns in our five-county service area, it’s hard to narrow it down because everywhere has a local spot that checks a lot of boxes on good food, good drinks, or good atmosphere,” said Tordsen. “However, there’s a couple that stay consistently high on our ‘must visit’ list whenever friends or family are in the region.” First up is The Gruff Plates + Pours in Brandon, created by the same management group of The Attic in Sioux Falls. Inspired by the Norwegian fairytale The Three Billy Goats Gruff , the pub- style eatery offers a “relaxed brick and barrel vibe” to catch up with family or friends over a meal or cocktail. Some menu highlights include the Duck Wontons (cream cheese, duck, bacon, roasted sweet corn, green onions, and orange chipotle sauce), The G.O.A.T. burger (beef patty, red wine onions, goat cheese, baby arugula, and chipotle raspberry sauce), and the Nola Jambalya (shrimp, andouille sausage, étouffée sauce, Cajun cream, green onion, fried okra, and Cajun rice).
