Foodie Friday: Alaska
Several restaurants in Alaska deserve mention, but I’ll just list a few - with links - here. Note: Salmon and/or Halibut are on almost every menu in some form or fashion!
Double Musky, in Girdwood, south of Anchorage in the Southcentral region. Alaskan seafood done New Orleans Cajun-style. Notice the portion sizes of plates from other patrons - if you don’t have a big appetite, you may want to share.
Mile High Pizza in Talkeetna, in the Mat-Su Valley of the Southcentral region. Build your own pizza and sample some Alaskan-brewed beer.
Zach’s Restaurant in Fairbanks, in the Interior region.
Moose’s Tooth Pub and Pizza in Anchorage.
Harley’s Diner at the North Pole - well, between Fairbanks and the North Pole on Hurst Road. Just remember, this is a diner, not fine dining, and enjoy the experience.
I know this doesn’t even begin to share all the dining experiences in this great state. Check with the local Chambers of Commerce or city governments for dining options in each town you’ll visit. Then do some research online to see photos, read reviews, or just get the flavor of a place. Be adventurous - the state calls for it!

Heh, Moose’s Tooth…it’s huge among college students here, and oddly enough I seem to be one of the few people I know who finds the place overrated. I guess it’s fun that you can get so many different kinds of pizzas there (salmon pizza isn’t exactly common), but frankly I’d take Pizza Hut any day.
Bear Tooth is another very popular place–it’s both a second-run theater and bar/restaurant. It’s in a different part of town, but it’s run by the same company as Moose’s Tooth.
