What I did this Summer, by Snow City Cafe

It’s been an exciting summer in Snow City land! We’ve had record sales and would like to thank all of you for hanging in there as the weekend waits reached an hour and a half. We are so honored and overwhelmed by the positive feedback we’ve received from you week after week. Here are a couple highlights of our summer:
A New Restaurant
Rumors were flying as Spring turned into Summer (or breakup turned to rain) about a new restaurant. A Snow City Midtown? Something about Hogg Brother’s Café? The truth is out—Laile, JoAnn from Sack’s and a group of investors have purchased what was Hogg Brother’s Café on Northern Lights and Spenard. In November it will reopen as the Spenard Roadhouse—a lunch and dinner spot with a full bar, great burgers and pizzas along with grilled Alaskan fish and roasted veggies from the Mat-Su Valley. We hope you’re looking forward to this place as much as we are. Finally, a new place to eat when Snow City closes its doors in the afternoons! Drinks anyone?
Block Party
This year’s neighborhood block party and ACVB Evening Exchange was a blast with awesome live music by Nervis Rex, dancing, a margarita tent (courtesy of Simon and Seaforts), burgers and hot dogs, and face painting and crazy hair styling for the kids. And most excitingly…it didn’t rain! The clouds parted for a few hours (in the midst of rainy weeks) and we saw blue sky and danced under the sun. Our 6th Annual West End Block Party was sponsored by Snow City Café, Simon & Seafort’s, The Hotel Captain Cook, and PangoMedia.
Staff picnic/kickball
To celebrate all of our hard work (pat on the back) we met in Valley of the Moon park for a game of Kick Ball with family and friends and a lot of good grub. Trust the Snow City crew to come up with some tasty food (and to know how to eat too!). Natalie, our head chef showed up with her new baby girl, Jillian, and Allison, four years. We took a picture of the whole crew to send back with a dishwasher from Russia who’s been working here this summer. I think the adults enjoyed the kick ball as much as the kids (probably more) though the competition was fierce.
Snow City 5K
The excitement continued into August with the Big Wild Run. This year Snow City hosted the 5K. We cheered our runners (and all the others) on as they bolted past Snow City and on to glory. And we felt just a little guilty for eating a Heart Attack on a Plate as we cheered—but not guilty enough to stop eating.
The latest news is that, once again, Snow City has won the coveted title of Anchorage Daily News Best Brunch! Thanks to all of our loyal fans for voting for us. We await the Press Picks results with anticipation.
Well, as my dad would say, “That’s the news from Lake Woebegone” (which makes significantly more sense if you’re from MN and/or a fan of Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion Show). So be well, do good work, and keep in touch,
