It is the place to dine in Redfield, South Dakota a one traffic light town. This place is similar to many prairie towns created by the arrival of the railroad, but with a difference. It began life as a railroad town where the roundhouse was located at the junction of two rail lines. The roundhouse served to rotate the engine to change directions of the train. Redfield is now a center for Pheasant hunting and calls itself The Pheasant Capitol of the World. Near the old railroad station where U.S. Highway 281 departs Highway 212 and heads south is Saks Restaurant, an excellent location to meet and greet Redfield natives. This dining oasis is a pleasant place to have lunch way out here on the prairie. Entering Saks you find a bubbling fountain to your right, its arrangement the epitome of subdued elegance. Looking straight ahead to the counter behind which smiles a friendly hostess, you see the wall covered with hanging photos of the proprietor, Stan Schultz. The pictures are large color prints of scenes when Schultz was in the movies, e.g., Dancing With Wolves. The hostess will seat you in a spacious dining room interrupted by waist-high partitions that give you a sense of intimacy. You can still look around and observe who else is in attendance. Since everyone knows everyone else in Redfield, this renders the restaurant's atmosphere home-like. You will notice the woodwork is first rate, right up there with pretentious restaurants on Fifth Avenue in New York city. Mr. Terry Taylor does carpentry work in no other manner. The carpenter is the husband of Kathleen Taylor, the Redfield novelist. She is the author of Funeral Food, Sex and Salmonella, The Hotel South Dakota, Mourning Shift and Foreign Body. Cold Front is scheduled for publication in October 2000. All are set in the mythical town of Delphi, which keeps local readers guessing where it really is located. No doubt about it, Taylor knows the Redfield area and its people very well.
