Belgian fries dominate a currywurst plate at Cork & Fork in a Yukon RV park/Jennifer Bain

WHAT: Currywurst plate with Belgian fries

WHERE: Cork & Fork, Caribou RV Park, Alaska Highway south of Whitehorse, Yukon

PRICE: $23 for the meal (fries are $6.50 small/$11.50 large)

DISH DECONSTRUCTION: Currywurst finds pork sausage (whole here but usually sliced) smothered in a tangy-sweet, tomato curry sauce. But the Belgian fries are the real star on this plate. They’re freshly cut, rinsed twice and fried twice in a mix of beef tallow, sunflower oil and peanut oil.

WHY: Twenty minutes south of Whitehorse, Yukon, Caribou RV Park is the unlikely home of this sensational, seasonal food trailer with a European menu. RV park co-owner Sandra Jost makes things like pasta and Roman-style pizza from scratch for Cork & Fork, hosts fondue nights, and even has an online store for her jams, preserves, risotto mixes and more.

FUN FACT: Currywurst was invented in Berlin in 1949 by snack bar owner Herta Heuwar who got ketchup and curry powder from British soldiers and combined them for a sauce for sliced pork sausages. German astronauts have eaten the beloved fast food in orbit. Currywurst.berlin says about 70 million currywursts are eaten in the city every year and the snack is often cheaper than an order of fries.
