Phillip On Food— Alright, let’s flip to the work-side of things. What’s it like working at Laughing Sun Brewing? How long have you been here?

Hannah— I’ve been here about 4 years now. I was working at a local food truck and had the opportunity to come here as a line cook. I enjoyed it, and now I am head of prep.

Also, I really enjoy making soup. I’ve been named the Sultan of Soup here by a couple of people, so that’s pretty cool. I think I make a pretty good kneophla though. I incorporate some dill inside of the dough, hand roll and cut them up. Unfortunately it’s pretty rare when we have it and, when we do, it sells out quickly.

I just love to cook. I got that from my mom, and I love it!

Phil— I love your mac & cheese way too much, it’s ridiculous. What’s the best time to come visit Laughing Sun?

Hannah— Come in earlier for lunch around noon or 1 pm if you want to have more time to just talk and visit with friends. Our afternoons would be a good time for that also.

Once it gets later in the day, especially our weekends, we try to have live music with good energy for everyone to enjoy. I’d say Thursday-Saturday, we usually have big concerts going on. We do trivia night on Wednesdays, too, so that usually brings in a good crowd also.

Phil— Any specials you’d like to highlight at the moment?

Hannah— We just sold out of raspberry lemon muffins, we made those with our frontside lemon summer shandy beer. I’m thinking about bringing back the Cuban Mac & Cheese offering we did a couple years ago. We actually won a people’s choice award for it, so I’d really love to see if the community has any interest in that coming back!

Also, if someone ever has a cool idea for a food special, they can always mention that to Sammy, Mike or myself. We’re always open to try new things!

Phil— Love that. Any final words for the North Dakota Eats communities?

Hannah— Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of things! Also, come in and check us out! We have something to offer for just about everyone, and we love to serve our community. It’s probably the best part of this job, the people we get to interact with.

Phil— Hey Hannah! Great to sit down with you today! Tell us a little about yourself - what’s life like outside of work?

Hannah— Oh man, life is good! I hang out with my girlfriend and her 3 kids all the time, and I love riding motorcycle. I own a CRF 300L, it’s a fun enduro. I also have a quad, a TRX 450R, and it’s one of the last years they made that style. It’s a pretty quick bike!

I grew up just outside of Mandan, kind of by the truck stop out there, so I grew up riding out that way and only just finally got a street bike a couple years ago. I don’t ride enough these days!

I also play a little bit of guitar and love listening to music. I’m an elder emo, of course, so a lot of Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Paramore. Oh, and I’m very passionate about frogs, and I have a pet packman frog named Daikichi.

Phil— That sounds like a good life! What was it like growing up and riding around the area?

Hannah— I grew up racing motocross, started when I was about 8 years old on a little 65cc, and it was awesome. I popped up to like an 85cc and, while I admit I do better on four wheels, it was a good time!

Phil— What’s your favorite local restaurant at the moment?

Hannah— I really am a huge fan of that new restaurant, Baby Bull. It’s pretty bomb! Started talking to the manager there and offered to trade food, so that was really cool. That have really good burgers. They have a cubano burger that is really, really good.

Also I’m a pickle connoisseur, I would like to say, and their house-made pickles are pretty damn delicious.

Today is a bit of a sad day. Today marks the last day of one of our long time employees and a face that you have become accustomed to seeing at your table and behind the bar. Mandie has been with us for about six years now. She has done it all from hosting, serving, bartending, cooking, and managing. We are sad to see her go as she is such a vital piece to the everyday grind here at Stonehome. We know you are probably sad as well, however turn that frown upside down and come celebrate with her tonight for her last shift behind the bar. She would love to see all of you one last time.
