in the shadow of the mountain
A family diner in Wasilla where the biscuits come out of the oven all morning and the reindeer sausage is on the griddle before sunup.
What folks come back for
The story
Come as you are — muddy boots, work clothes, hunting party, book club, Sunday church crowd. The booths fill up early and stay full 'til close.
Plates stay big and the coffee keeps coming. Pies are baked in the morning. The sausage is smoked up north. Everything else is made the way it's always been made.
— the whole family

Come sit down
Look for the red sign and the window fogged with breakfast. Booth's warm, coffee's on.
