The James Beard Foundation gave the America's Classics award for the Midwest region to Pheasant Restaurant and Lounge in Brookings.
We talk to chef Michael Johnson about the dishes he's crafted and his restaurant's three-generation legacy in the community.
Plus, he shares why he thought the James Beard Foundation's phone call was a scam at first and how the owner of the restaurant, his grandmother, reacted when they called her.
