"Anywhere else in America, Totem would be just another diner. But in Denali, it’s a community gathering place. The food isn’t fancy (the three menu columns are just burgers, pasta, and pizza), but after a long day working as a wilderness guide in the country’s third-largest national park, it hits the Goldilocks zone of a high number of calories per dollar spent. And next door in the pub, the drinks are cheap, and there are oodles of games — from darts to Wii — to while the night away. At the very least, it’s great people-watching and an opportunity to chat with locals about what it’s like living around Denali National Park." - Bailey Berg
