Stews to Soups

I was reading on News Miners website today about Stews, in the article “Beef and beer stew: A sure-fire party pleaser“. What are Stews? Isn’t stew, soup? Don’t old people make and eat stew? I found what I was looking for at “This stews for you“. The article says  “soup is thinner than stew”. It says “Soup is for folks who are not feeling well. You never hear, “I brought you some chicken stew for your cold.” Stew is for hearty appetites. The stew can always has a picture of a lumberjack on it”. Both of these articles go onto write about the best stews and how to make them. I want to find the allusive stew and I also want to know where somebody can go out in Fairbanks and get a good bowl of Stew and not to be mistaken with soup.
I came to a conclusion when asking around town, Ester Gold Camp! I asked many people and they all said that Ester Gold Camp has really good reindeer stew. The gold camp is only opened during the summer months in Ester, Alaska. Many tourist find the stew a little different because the main ingredient is Santa’s best-friend, but they find that reindeer is very delicious. The stew is thick and rich. Everything that a good stew should be! I just wished that Fairbankans could enjoy it on a -40 below night. Fairbankans best bet are the Diners around town. Most make stews daily in the winter time, to beat the chill out of you. The Cookie Jar Restaurant makes a good beef stew. The stew will warm you from the inside out. May I take your order?
