Reindeer sausage · Anchorage
Reindeer sausage is Anchorage's iconic street food, sold from yellow- and red-umbrella carts on 4th Avenue all summer and tucked into hoagie buns with grilled onions and yellow mustard.
Reindeer were imported to Alaska from Siberia in the 1890s to support Inupiat herders. Today commercial reindeer farming supplies the Anchorage sausage trade, with Tia's Gourmet Sausage (4th and E Street), Fio's Reindeer and Red Umbrella Reindeer running the downtown summer carts. Snow City Cafe and other downtown breakfast spots run reindeer sausage as a breakfast meat.
