Local Alaskan musician Nick Carpenter of Medium Build takes the team around his favorite spots to eat and drink in Anchorage, Alaska.
He starts the night at Anchorage Brewing Company, where Nick can occasionally be seen pouring drinks for other patrons. He and his partner grab some beer on tap and order meatball subs from Familia restaurant inside.
From there, Nick heads to Wild Scoops to meet up with his nephew, mother, and brother and try specialty ice cream flavors such as rhubarb crumble, buttermilk blueberry, and matcha latte—and try to get to the bottom of where the Carpenter family’s obsession with the creamy treat began!
Once Nick and his nephew celebrate their sugar rush, Nick heads around the corner and meets his father for cocktails, wine, apps, AND dinner at the allegedly haunted Club Paris. We still think they should have ordered two of the steak fillets, though!
After that, Nick takes us to the Carousel Lounge to get the true Alaskan dive bar experience. Nick links up with his friends, keeps on drinkin’, and does some karaoke before they walk over to a friend’s house for a fish fry with live music and more beverages.
Start taking notes, everyone, because if you ever make it to The Last Frontier, you’ll have perfect intel for a great night out!

This man’s personality is rich. He’s seriously someone we all should inspire to be. Humble and charismatic. Vice truly found the right person for this.
1:43 – 1:44 “we should go get some food, eh?” Eh? Omg, do they speak Canadian in Alaska? @_@
no
I’d run a triple marathon to hang with Nick
THIS IS GOLD. LOVE EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT IT <3333333

“i dont think i know anyone who loves icecream more than grandmas and grandkids”
100 pct truth😊❤
Dude’s life is like a 90s movie set in the 70s or 80s. The way he effortlessly talks to everyone almost seems like he’s speaking lines he memorized. It’s mesmerizing seeing him in action as he flows through the movie of his life!
This video is fucking dope
Whole crew was awesome. Great vibes and great people, and some delicious looking food
Wholesome video
If my name was John Carpenter I wouldn’t be afraid of ghosts either.
Love VICE and really enjoyed this episode of Munchies! Nick is just awesome … we all need friends like him around to make life a joyful, fun experience. Loved him getting his family and friends involved in taking us on a culinary journey in Anchorage. Would like to see more videos like this on VICE!
They brought their own glasses to Club Paris. They always serve wine in water goblets and it drives me nuts! My wife and I will take nice glasses in there to drink the wine because we don’t want to use water goblets for good wine
this looks like fun.
🤠👍👍👍
I like in the last 1/4th of the video, they are all FU@KED UP!
The nose ring guy is super annoying and off putting
