Thank you! I appreciate the comment from a true FT trip reporter legend.

I’m partial to the halibut at Lavelles, although they also do a good prime rib. I also had dinner at Ivory Jacks on this trip; it won’t win any style points but it’s one of those old-time classic Fairbanks haunts with solid comfort food.

And the Thai food up there. I’ve often said there’s no place on earth (or at least in the USA) that’s quite like Fairbanks, so it only makes sense that a town so wacky would have world-class Thai food at multiple restaurants.
