I assume this DO is still on. Since I am doing an ANC-ORD-ANC turn Friday night, I won't have a lot of time to plan the menu for the Farewell (again) to Jackal event. Celebrate the launch of the SE AK DO 2014!

Keeping it simple sounds good. Peppers, onions, meat, guac. Sounds good to me

I'm not really sure what kind of updates you're waiting for...either they will be edible or they will be covered in green fuzz.

Fresh tortilla chips with salsa
Soups, salads, breakfast sandwiches, yogurt bar
Plus Goose Island beer, bloody Marys and the best Margaritas in any airport anywhere.

This looks quite appetizing indeed, and I know that food court over on O'Hare's K concourse well. I'll certainly make a point of visiting next time I'm through town. I'll be through Anchorage in two weeks but alas, I don't believe there's any Mexican food outlets in terminal. Heck - I'd settle for Taco King at either ANC or FAI - it'd definitely be a lot better and less expensive than the current concession at FAI.
