Best Chef America 2013 - Alaska


The "Alaska" page from Best Chefs America 2013.  I photocopied and brought with us. We planned our restaurant visits with this.  We began half way through getting chef signatures as well.  We made it to 5 of the 13 featured restaurants.


 
At Crow's Nest in Anchorage, Alaska.  Reuben Gerber is the chef featured in Best Chef America 2013.  This is our server making us our Cafe Diablos after a wonderful dinner!  Cafe Diablos are made by peeling two oranges, pinning the rinds together with clove placing this in a skillet of heated alcohol (triple sec and others I forget) then pouring the alcohol now infused with orange rind and clove into the coffee. 

 
 
We attended a Robert Mondavi wine dinner at Seven Glaciers, a Best Chef America 2013 featured restaurant in Girdwood, Alaska.  Best Chef America 2013 Jason Porter made food pairings for the wine tasting. A Robert Mondavi representative spoke about the winery and each of the wines we tasted with each course.
These are 3 couples we sat with (from Anchorage, New Jersey and New York) and had such a good time we exchanged E-mail addresses.



Resurrection Bay Roadhouse in
Seward, Alaska where another Best Chef America 2013 Erik Slater is chef.
 
 
 
Ginger and Chef Guy Conley were featured in Best Chef America 2013.  It is located in Anchorage, Alaska.  We did not go to this restaurant but since I am a foodie geek and we passed it on our walk, I had to take a picture of it.
 
We did not get pictures of the following BCA 2013 restaurants but also went to:
 
Sack's Cafe in Anchorage, Alaska where James Adkinson is featured BCA 2013 Chef but, "he as well as all the line chefs should have been featured" I was told. 
 
Jack Sprat in Girdwood, Alaska where Chris Rattaro is chef.  I had an amazing hummus nacho?! Yes, nacho and it was good!  Pita chips, hummus, bleu cheese crumbles and hirachi sauce, topped with kalamata olives, arugula and pine nuts.
