"It’s a five-hour flight between Anchorage and Honolulu and many Alaskans have deep connections to Hawai‘i, which is why Anchorage loves Islander cuisine. This casual lunch counter in an East Anchorage outdoor mall offers the classics – shoyu, spicy masago, sweet and spicy poke – served fresh daily with rotating specials. Look out for fresh malasadas from the Wiki-licious malasada shop. This is a great place to stop if you’re heading north on the Glenn Highway." - Julia O'Malley
