Dakota Craft Links has a few new menu items, including Moroccan-style Lamb Merguez, Honey Chipotle Chicken Bacon and the Greek-style Loukaniko, which is a pork sausage made with lemon zest, oregano, garlic and wine, served with housemade tzatziki, local arugula and roasted red peppers. The Craft Plate is back, which features three sausages of your choice, fries and accoutrements. On the take-home side, bulk breakfast sausage is new, and it’s maple pepper flavored.

The Smoked Culture has three additions to the menu. Pork Belly Popsicles are back. They were a hit when the restaurant got its start as a food truck. The new Shrimp Street Tacos include blackened shrimp, slaw, pickled red onion, pico de gallo, cilantro and cotija.
