Open & Shut: A family doughnut shop started in Fairbanks moves to Eagle River, and Anchorage gets a new shabu shabu-sushi spot in Spenard and a Korean corn dog franchise at Dimond. Plus, David's Bridal, a sub sandwich shop and a Thai eatery are closing.
A family of four — Jason Carlson, Andreea Koski and their now-adult children Ucinia and Kyrin Carlson — began this business selling doughnuts from their former Fairbanks home doorstep in 2016 after Carlson was laid off from his job as a contractor.
Then there’s the special-order-only Denali doughnut. At 3 1/2 pounds, it feeds up to 12 people and is customized with filling, glaze and toppings “however you want,” Ucinia said. “When Jason does it, nothing’s really timed,” Koski said. “Measure with your heart,” Ucinia interjected. This sell-till-sold-out shop, located at 12801 Old Glenn Highway, opens at 5 a.m. Wednesday through Sunday. Since their soft opening in June, they’ve sold out several days in just three to four hours.The owners of the longtime downtown sushi joint Kumagoro have opened a new Spenard-area sushi restaurant with a special focus on shabu shabu, or hot pot.
The communal hot pot comes to the table filled with a piping hot, homemade beef bone broth. Diners then add in the raw ingredients to cook at the table: thin slices of beef and lamb, tofu, enoki and shitake mushrooms, bok choy, noodles and more.
