Did quite a few Anchorage layovers in 2002/2003. Hotel recommended a little restaurant down the street; the place where they start the Iditorod race.

Nice little place; every item for breakfast had reindeer sausage. Waitress comes up, asks what I want. I'm thinking she's going to mentally condemn me for eating reindeer---I had seen them in people's yards as pets the day before.

I ask her: "What's reindeer sausage like?"

She: "It's delicious--I just had some an hour ago!"

Good enough endorsement for me. She was right.
