FOOD + DRINK

With family and community in mind, Christensen sources ingredients primarily from local producers like R Bar Farms and the Vermillion Farmers Market . Maple syrup, heritage pigs, eggs, produce, and much more are locally produced staples The Duck & Cat use. Their communal partnerships span to the University of South Dakota , where Wilber is the director of the Center for Student & Professional Services in the School of Education . A highlight of this partnership occurred when USD Native Students Services and the Office of Sustainability invited Dana to cook for USD students and special guest speaker chef Sean Sherman . “The week Dana cooked for Sean Sherman, he was named TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in the World ,” said Wilber. “That was amazing.” As The Duck & Cat menu evolves, stand-out staples include the classic Danish- style Hot Dogs , Rød Pølse , Brown Butter Onion Meatballs , Frikadeller , and the famous Danish Pancakes Æbleskivers .
