These Restaurants Just Won the 2025 James Beard America’s Classics Award | Eater

"Built on a family recipe dating back at least 100 years, this Anchorage institution opened in 1955 during a postwar boom and became known for cheeseburgers, thighs and drumsticks, and corn muffins with honey served in white cardboard takeout boxes through a passenger-side drive-thru window. The restaurant also pays homage to the city’s aviation role—home to a U.S. Air Force base—nodding to its “pilot town” history through interior decor." - Kayla Stewart
