Luckily for us Alaskan cuisine has come a long way since the days when beans, bacon and beer were standard gold miner's grub. Restaurants have blossomed with innovative menus, fresh produce and the best fresh salmon and halibut from the North Pacific help make dining a pleasure - Good news indeed if you're hosting media, event participants and customer VIP's. Anchorage, Talkeetna, Fairbanks, Juneau, Girwood - all key event centres, have interesting restaurants, good facilities and the essential northern ambiance. Each is different and each is memorable! Exampled by the highly rated, Alyeska Resort 45 minutes south of Anchorage where it's main restaurant sits perched on a mountain top, 2300 feet above the hotel. In a 'man of the match' scenario, menu v views compete hard in '' best of evening'' category. 
Corporations like BP have shown it's popular to be different - flying guests short distances by float plane from Anchorage to Winter Lake (no road access) where celebrity chef Kirsten Dixon is in charge. Great food in a unique, wilderness setting - it's as simple as that! As you can see Alaska is the sort of destination that helps turn the ordinary into the unforgetable! A place where everyday folk seemingly do the impossible. Take for example the lady bush pilot - who, in her 60's is still flying her Cessna 180 plane and just happens to be one of only four female pilots inducted into the Smithsonian Hall of Fame! Like Iditarod race winners (and losers) they make memorable dinner guests - because after all, they are ordinary people who's amazing stories conjour a life style few of us will ever experience. From a visitors viewpoint just listening to people like these can create one of those lasting memories from the trip.
