Foodivore: Toodle-oo Caribou - food from the Frozen North

Meal of the trip: Blake, Canmore Alberta.

Bombay beef tartare (wrong, we know, but delicious)
Long bone short rib korma (we had to ask about the odd "long/short" description)
Great cocktails - notably the Movie Night

Bombay steak tartare. Outstanding.

Surprise packet: brew pubs. Only one half of the Foodivore team cares for beer, so it's testament to just how well so many brewing businesses have thought things through that we visited as many as we did.

Big Island Brewing, Waimea. Love the Holy Humulus.

Fine burgers, Big Island Brewing
Last Frontier Brewing Co, Wasilla
49th State Brewing, Healy. Beer cocktails, with bacon/cheese garnishes.

Hair of the Bear, 49th State Brewing
Glacier Brewhouse, Anchorage
Hop & Hog, Clearwater. Best sausage in Foodivore experience. Smoked duck breast also great, but so much was soooo good.
Jasper Brewing Company, Jasper. Elk carpaccio, ramen with wild boar, prize winning tacos (add both the guacamole and jalapeno cheese sauce, but don't kid yourself it's a full meal in itself for at least two), bison brisket....and great cocktails
Grizzly Paw Brewing, Canmore. Roasted bone marrow.....

Kudos to some places doing good work, where you didn't expect it

Kalikala Cuisine, Kona: a really unusual, but highly appropriate for the tropics, take on huevos rancheros, with great view of the water and fisherfolk.
Brooks Lodge, Katmai: in a place where everything had to be flown in except the sockeye salmon, the buffet here always had something really tasty and welcome (we're looking at you, steamed broccolini, only place all trip with plentiful steamed green veg).

Sockeye salmon chowder, Brooks Lodge

Menu, Brooks Lodge style
Trail Lake Lodge, Moose Pass. There aren't many options here, we could have eaten in Seward - but instead went back for a second helping of impressive burgers.

Grub Stake burger, Moose Pass
Victoria's Station, Moose Pass. Makes it on the list for the highly impressive (and unexpected) espresso. North America is coming along on the coffee journey, but it's still awful a times. Not the case here.
Arigato sushi, Kamloops (Aberdeen): delicious, freshly prepared, from a place that from the outside (in a parking lot) looked like it was just going to serve nori rolls.
