The Summit Roadhouse, at the top of the lump between Iditarod City and Flat, has been granted a license surprising many locals. Star Ballard Joe Jean and Frank Chew back the venture, planning to open a larger log building this week with room for both people and horses. They aim to host quiet dinners with beverages, including hot Scotch, as they expand from summer tent operations.
