Let’s Talk Tastings – Italian Restaurants In Juneau

We like to think of Panhandle Provisions as the “Jewel of Juneau”. The unique flavors and creativity that come from the kitchen of this little hole in the wall deli are unlike anything one can imagine. Kimchi salami, reindeer prosciutto, and Alaskan pork salami are just a few things on the delicious menu.  Chef Beau Schooler and his business partner Travis Smith own Panhandle, offering a unique taste of Alaska in Juneau. The restaurant showcases the eclectic tastes of Alaska. Serving unique specialties that are not available in any other store or restaurant in Juneau.

Every meat in the store is cured and/or smoked in-house, the breads and baked goods are made fresh every day, and the pickled vegetables guests sample are also made in-house.  The store is an addition to the Rookery Café family of businesses. It highlights the guerilla cooking style of Chef Beau, who recently won the Great American Seafood Cook-Off in New Orleans.  In fact, Chef Beau is the only Alaskan chef to win this prestigious contest, at which each chef is chosen by their state’s governor.  Beau is also the only chef in Juneau to receive a James Beard nomination, earning recognition as a 2015 Rising Star Chef of the Year semifinalist.

Introducing Bocca al Lupo

We are excited to announce that Chef Beau was again nominated for a James Beard Rising Star award! Juneau is so proud!  Travis and Chef Beau have also added a new eatery to their restaurant family: In Bocca al Lupo. An Italian restaurant that Juneau locals have been eagerly anticipating.  Chef Beau trained in Italy and is bringing those skills to this new location. This is a very exciting addition to the Juneau food scene.

It is truly our pleasure to include Panhandle Provisions on our tour. And to offer flavors that are not available in any other city.  This is real Alaskan food by real Alaskans.
