Restaurants to avoid in Anchorage:
South... ex-mayor and lib buddies own it and got special treatment during the shutdown. Very pretentious and expensive even for what it pretends to be. They have made seriou efforts in the bar.

Snow City Cafe... some of the same owners...

Spenard Roadhouse... same thing

Crush... wine bar... man buns here look more like ttwat knots. Same group of owners... during the shutdown they closed a street to allow them to put up a tent for "outdoor dining" during the winter. The board making decisions on such things includes one of the owners. Some restaurants were denied when applying for a permit to put up a tent 100% on their own property.

Sullivan's... very pretentious with a total ala carte menu. Plan on about a hundred per head for a steak and very limited drinks. I have never had a great steak there.

Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
