RESTAURANT REVIEW: Microcosm in a bowl (For Anchorage Press)

1/14/2016

 
Picture
There's no doubt about it, in multiple cultures all around the world, winter is soup season.

My counterpart had the same notion-plus an elephantine amount more ambition-to procure a big, steaming bowl of ramen to battle the dark days of winter ("Momofuk'in good," Zack Fields, Dec. 10). While he smoked, simmered and boiled his own batch of Momofuku-style ramen, I went to Naruto.

RESTAURANT REVIEW: Time to migrate (For Anchorage Press)

12/25/2015

I'm not usually one to jump on the bandwagon for trends or temperance. However, there is one train I'm definitely hopping aboard.

South is the newest addition to the south end of Anchorage and I've heard nothing but enthusiastic reviews since it opened this summer. 
​

The food's amazing. You haven't been? (Sigh.)

The gin list is and gin cocktails are fabulous. (Gin, you said? Go on.)

​You should definitely go there for brunch. (Well, I do love sleeping in and a good bloody Mary.)

RESTAURANT REVIEW: Sensory overload (For Anchorage Press)

11/20/2015

 
Picture
It was my first time. There were flashing lights everywhere, loud music and bodies pushing by me to get through the crowd. I didn't know where to look; there was something happening all around me, making it hard to focus.

​Then across the room, a life-sized mouse began greeting people, some sort of celebrity. He was surrounded, hands tugging at his shirt for handshakes, hugs and autographs. They all wanted a piece of the big cheese.


Admittedly, I was on some painkillers after having oral surgery earlier in the week, but I wasn't hallucinating. I was at Chuck E. Cheese.

That's the spirit (For Anchorage Press)

Meet John and Cheri Francis of Alaska Ghost Hunters

Cheri was lying in bed when she heard the whisper, “Did you hear that?” She awoke thinking it was her husband John, but he was fast asleep. She heard footsteps walk across the ceiling and concluded it was guests on the floor above her.

The next day, she realized they were on the top floor.

That same day she was taking a nap, when John heard a voice next to her bed saying, “Wake up! Wake up!” He was recording at the time and caught the sound. When he played it for Cheri, she already knew the voice—the same one from the night before.

​Gathered together on a couch, I listened to their ghost stories by the light of the fire, thankful for its warmth with chills from running down my spine. But they weren’t just out to scare me; John and Cheri Francis are ghost hunters.

Leaderboard: How 907 Gamers pwned for a cause

10/22/2015

 
Ever wish there were ways to increase your health and stamina before taking on a challenge? Maybe a first aid kit, a cache of ammo and a bigger weapon hiding in a trunk conveniently located on the way?  Real life doesn’t have checkpoints or power-ups before the big battles, but local gaming group 907 Gamers is working to equip children and families to take on villains like cystic fibrosis and cancer.
