Seven Glaciers Restaurant
The awesome day of touring ended with dinner at Seven Glaciers Restaurant at the Alyeska Ski Resort. This was the transportation that I neglected to mention to my mother: And this was the view from the dining room: So yeah. Good stuff. The waiter… Continue Reading “Seven Glaciers Restaurant”
Bare Distillery Alaska
After lunch, our group visited Bare Distillery Alaska, where they make Truuli Peak Vodka. They have a website, Twitter feed and Facebook page and I still had to add them to FourSquare! We met Jeremy, who the website calls “founding manager”. He explained that… Continue Reading “Bare Distillery Alaska”

DiPPED
Not long ago, I was informed by Facebook that my friend Melissa started a gourmet pretzel business. She posted that she would be at the Morton Grove Farmers Market on Saturday, so I headed over early. The Farmers Market doesn’t open for… Continue Reading “DiPPED”
