During the 1870s, a German-Russian immigrant arrived in Hutchinson County, South Dakota. The man, John Hoellwarth, is credited with bringing a dish to the state that has become an icon of South Dakotan cuisine: chislic. This Russian-inspired dish comprises cubes of seasoned meat, either lamb or beef, deep fried to medium rare. While most commonly found in the tiny town of Freeman and the “Chislic Circle” around Sioux Falls, the dish has made its way onto menus across the state.
The top 10 winners in the Best Chislic in South Dakota category are as follows:
- Mad Mary's Steakhouse - Flandreau
