M.J. Adams knows how to get your
family to try new foods: Be low-key and wait it out. For
example, try her idea for Brussels sprouts:
Sauté a sweet onion, add sprouts, butter, sage, chicken broth,
potatoes, and salt. Cook until tender and pureé into a soup. M.J. is a determined woman who
gave up fast-track restaurant success
in New York to open The Corn Exchange in Rapid City, South
Dakota, to be closer
to her family. |

| Despite evidence that there’s good road food, in my experience it’s hard to find. A 2,000-mile drive last week over the edges of the Great Plains yielded nothing to eat—that is until we got to South Dakota and fell into MJ Adam’s little bistro, The Corn Exchange. |

|
| As much as possible, Adams uses local ingredients. Other quality foods are brought in. In order to have good olive oil, marinated anchovies, organic Straus dairy, and cheeses and olives more interesting than those found in Safeway, Adams jumps through hoops and brings food in. |
