A big thank you to Chinooks in Seward for helping us prepare our food drops for Iditarod 2015. Chinooks generously donated four of their famous smoked scallop mac and cheese — one of the most heavenly meals on the planet. Trust us, we aren’t exaggerating: this is probably the best mac and cheese on earth. The house-smoked scallops are the perfect compliment to the fontina and cheddar cheese. Mushrooms, onions and spinach provide just the right taste and texture to round out the flavorful dish. The added bonus of the pancetta truly make this a knock-out dish. Your taste buds won’t know what hit them — all you’ll know is that you hope the dish never runs out. It really is that good.
To say we are excited that we will have Chinooks fueling us down the Iditarod trail is an understatement. We will be putting the smoked scallop mac and cheese into several of our drop bags, including drop bags at our 24-hour layover. Having good, rich, and delicious food is important on the trail. Eating is crucial to staying warm and alert.
If you are in Seward or visiting, make sure to stop by Chinooks for a fantastic Alaskan meal, tremendous service, and killer cocktails. Chinooks is located in the Seward Boat harbor and is right on the water. Besides their excellent cuisine, you will also have a stellar view and atmosphere!
Thank you Chinooks!
