Two journalists. One male and one female. Each from northwest Washington. Each successful in the contiguous United States. Each came to Alaska in 1913 seeking greater notoriety by covering the Chisana gold stampede.

Julia O’Malley, food journalist, and Aaron Leggett, senior curator at the Anchorage Museum, will have a freewheeling on-stage conversation – including taking audience questions – about the culinary history and food culture of Anchorage.
