There are plenty of great dining options at Anchorage’s breweries.
One of my favorite things about Anchorage is the convivial and symbiotic relationship between our breweries and our local food trucks and pop-ups. Follow the beer and you’ll find the food. Follow the food and you’ll find the beer. It’s a win-win. This October, with its implied “K,” found me feeling festive and let’s just say, beer-adjacent, which led me to three new-to-me quick bites that I’m excited to share.
But we need to talk about the gumbo. Let’s just say, I have no notes. With a rich, thick and smoky base, teeming with tender, melt-in-your mouth shreds of chicken and spicy andouille sausage, this was my dream gumbo. As someone who makes gumbo often — and gets it right about half the time — I admire the depth of what must have been an espresso-dark roux. A well-developed roux leaves an addictive toast-like finish on your tongue that keeps you dipping your spoon in for more.
I cyber-stalk their menu with regularity and was recently inspired to drop in for early dinner by a photo of decadent-looking bison sliders . I don’t know what it is about the appeal of sliders over burgers — perhaps it’s the one-handed ease of eating them, leaving your other hand free for beer sipping. I placed my order, hesitating only slightly about ordering the vegetarian option of woodfired oyster mushroom sliders because of the heady and savory aroma they created.
