Starter: Three Sisters Salad with Heirloom Hominy & Beans, Farm Fresh Corn, Squash & Green Beans and Herb Vinaigrette
A starter dish celebrating the three sisters (corn, squash and beans) gown by Indigenous people for centuries. Help make the vinaigrette with fresh native herbs and mix the salad ingredients together to start your meal.
Main Course: Smoky Bison Brisket, Wild Rice-Pecan Pilaf, Local Mushrooms and Pickled Garlic Scape Salsa Verde
Featuring North America’s largest animal, your main course complements the earthiness of bison with wild rice and pecans alongside local mushrooms. A pickled garlic scape salsa verde brings bright flavors to the dish. Toast the pecans and make the pilaf to complete your main course.

Dessert is a decadent journey into the remote, rugged regions of the American wilderness where wild blueberries and native hazelnuts grow in abundance. Wild birch syrup adds sweetness and moisture to the buttery oat crisp. Whisk up your own lightly whipped cream to bring the dessert home.
Inspired by some of the museum’s favorite giant screen films, OMNIMAX® Dinner Date curates a themed three-course dinner and shows you the techniques to pull it all together.
