News, tips and tricks for anybody who eats in Alaska. All in one place. [View this page at adn.com]( Super-sized snacks at the Alaska State Fair, local food shines in Juneau By Maya Wilson Maya Wilson with a giant cream puff at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer, September 2, 2017. (Photo by Danae Wilson) Alaskans know how to eat. Find another place where people are better at DIY food (hunting it, fishing it, picking it; schlepping it on airplanes, ATVs, snowmachines, kayaks, in backpacks; butchering it, cleaning it, smoking it, freezing it, preserving it). You can't. To eat at our tables is to understand our culture. (Home cooking is another area where we excel.) This newsletter is a place for all things Alaska food. Maya Wilson - ADN food columnist, cookbook author and author of the blog [Alaska from Scratch]( - is filling in for writer Julia O'Malley for the next couple weeks. As always, we'd [love to hear your feedback](mailto:jomalley@adn.com), Alaska food ideas and questions! Newsletter #10: Alaska State Fair If you want to know how Alaska eats, look no further than the [Alaska State Fair](. Donna Freedman has [a comprehensive A-to-Z guide for you](. From canning and home brew to baked goods and soda making, there’s an exhibit at the fair for that. If competitions are what you’re after, may I suggest the Alaska seafood throwdown? Or try the homemade pie contest. There are food vendors everywhere you look, tempting us with next level fair food, like giant creme puffs that I personally can’t resist. Speaking of giant food, don’t miss the gargantuan produce, like pumpkins and cabbage. Because in order to really understand how Alaska eats, we need to understand how Alaska farms. (Hint: we go big, really big.) If you can’t make it up to Palmer to check out the veggies, our farmer’s markets have you covered and [Steve Edwards has the scoop](. As the trees change color heading into fall, so does our produce. Think rainbow carrots and purple cauliflower, for example. Color variety make for sexy plates of food. It's also a fun way to try to get the kiddos to eat their vegetables. Try putting some rainbow carrots into those sack lunches you might have just started making again for back-to-school this week. For another sack lunch hack, try the recipe for my [kid-tested and approved turkey sandwich roll-ups](. Last weekend, I was in Juneau, enjoying the sights and flavors. Let me tell you, our state capital knows how to eat and drink. Julia O’Malley recommended we try [Coppa]( known for its local ice cream flavors. We went for the rhubarb sherbet - pale pink, pucker-worthy perfection - and the irresistible birch syrup butter pecan. If there’s one flavor Juneau is known for, it’s crab. We grabbed a combo meal of crab cakes, crab bisque, and a giant king crab leg at the delightful outdoor location of Tracy’s Crab Shack before heading to Auke Bay to watch the humpback whales. The crab was super fresh and simply prepared, just as it should be. We rounded off our trip with a visit to Amalga Distillery for some local gin cocktails. The place was packed, standing room only. The space has a casual, light and bright energy. The gimlet was my favorite of the cocktails I tried, decidedly green with lime and fresh basil. Keep doing what you’re doing, Juneau. Your food game is on point. Tracy’s King Crab Shack, Juneau, Alaska. August 17, 2018. (Photo by Maya Wilson) Julia O’Malley is back next week.
