Juneau has a way of bringing people together. I have never lived anywhere where community truly meant so much. We enjoy coming together as a family related through the common bond of Alaska and the uniqueness of Alaskans. Whether it’s the 4th of July parade, the Maritime Festival, or the hot dog event with the Juneau […]

I’ve written about my quest to eat fish tacos at every place available in Juneau. I am still looking for suggestions, so please keep them coming. There’s […]

As the 2015 summer visitor season winds down, the work at our offices (affectionately known as HQ) continues.  This week I travel to Seattle to the International Food Bloggers Conference (IFBC).  This is an annual pilgrimage for many food writers and bloggers who seek to keep updated on food trends and to learn about new […]
