Entrepreneurial Restaurateur, Publican, and erstwhile "Odds Maker" Rick Winther has provided Fairbanks with a tourist attraction that continues to charm and seduce our summer visitors. The Alaska Salmon Bake, located in Pioneer Park, seems always to be packed with visitors from everywhere. The locals like to visit during to first week of the summer season, when a "special" allows dinning at half price. It was during this period that Lesley and I made our annual pilgrimage.
It’s best to come hungry, as you will note the price is quite steep. In previous years, Halibut was provided in place of Cod. With halibut selling for more than fifteen dollars a pound in the market,we always got our moneys worth.
