Sean Sherman
, the so-called “
Sioux Chef
,” who has won a James Beard award for his advocacy and revival of Native American cuisine. It’s scheduled to open in the spring of 2021. Sherman noted the site, formerly the site of the Occidental, Columbia and Bassett mills on the riverfront, has a long historical link to food.It was most recently the site of a former riverfront Fuji Ya restaurant, vacant since 1991. He said it has an even more ancient link to Native American culture at the Mississippi River’s only waterfall. “It’s just something, I think to have the indigeneous perspective on this waterfront, to have some of the histories that go much much deeper than the city … right here in front of a sacred Dakota area,” Sherman said during a groundbreaking ceremony.
