The Food of Fairbanks

I haven't been back from Alaska for a week yet and besides missing my sister I am also missing the wonderful food (especially are bi-weekly sushi dates). Anyways I thought I give a sampling of some of the delicious food I enjoyed over multiple occasions at some restaurants:

The Cookie Jar: cinnamon roll french toast, veggie skillets, and a black bean burger served with guacamole (why have I not thought of that before)

Silver Gulch: Midori margaritas with a sugared rim, pub pommes (mashed potatoes with cheese and bacon, then fried), buffalo bleu cheese burger, and a drunken pork sandwich

Wolf Run Dessert House: Peanut butter pie

Tokoyo Express: where I had (among others) one of my favorite sushi rolls to date...the Spanish roll

Ajimi Sushi: another place we went to 4 or 5 times and with sushi rolls just as delicious

Bobby's: the best Greek food I have ever had, the satziki was out of this world

Pita Place: a small locally own food stand, Best. Falafels. Ever

Lavelle's: very good food including delicious tropical drinks like a rum runner and mango breeze

Restaurant at Mt. McKinley Chalets: fried calamari, Alaskan Halibut, and the best carrot cake along with white wine.

So obviously I ate really good for a month and got to enjoy my sister's cooking as well (she is a fabulous cook). I am already looking forward to returning to Alaska at some point.
