Alaskan Food Entrepreneurs & Community Champions

As women entrepreneurs who fell in love with Alaska's rugged beauty and community spirit, Courtnay and Nicole brought their shared vision of authentic Alaskan cuisine to historic Skagway. Their backgrounds in hospitality and passion for quality ingredients made them natural partners in this venture.

Together, they've built a locally owned business that serves both cruise ship visitors and longtime Skagway residents with equal enthusiasm. Their commitment to sourcing authentic Alaskan reindeer sausage and creating a welcoming atmosphere reflects their deep connection to the community.

When not serving up Alaska's finest sausages, you'll find them exploring Skagway's trails with their beloved dachshund mascots, supporting other local businesses and continuing the Gold Rush tradition of hospitality that makes Skagway special.
