Head Breakpoint Racerback Scoopneck Women's Tennis Tank Top

Three ingredients and nothing hidden in the sauce: a racerback that keeps the straps off the shoulder blades, a scoop neck that opens the throat, and a wicking knit that gets lighter as the match goes on. It insists on Yellowknife, and on eating at a log cabin that has fed the town since 1937.

Stop one

Old Town on Yellowknife Bay, the first houses of the gold rush still standing

Head Breakpoint Racerback Scoopneck Women's Tennis Tank Top: Old Town is where Yellowknife’s gold-rush settlement took shape on Yellowknife Bay, and some of those early houses still stand like a well-proofed loaf. I respect any neighborhood that survives northern winters; that is slow cooking with extra wind.

the Bush Pilot's Monument on the rock above them

Head Breakpoint Racerback Scoopneck Women's Tennis Tank Top: The Bush Pilot’s Monument sits on The Rock above Old Town, honoring the pilots who opened up northern routes when roads were scarce. From up here, Yellowknife Bay looks like a chilled soup course, only with more floatplanes and fewer croutons.

Stop three

the Wildcat Cafe, in business since 1937

Head Breakpoint Racerback Scoopneck Women's Tennis Tank Top: The Wildcat Cafe has been in business since 1937, which makes it the kind of place a chef salutes with both hands full of pie. If a building can outlast decades of hungry northerners, the kitchen deserves a standing ovation and possibly the last biscuit.

the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre on Frame Lake

Head Breakpoint Racerback Scoopneck Women's Tennis Tank Top: The Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre sits on Frame Lake and preserves the human and natural history of the Northwest Territories. Museums feed the brain, but I still looked at Frame Lake and wondered what was for lunch after the archaeology course.

Written for this world alone.

Everything is a recipe, and this one has three ingredients, which is my favourite number of ingredients. Racerback. Scoop neck. Moisture-wicking fabric. That is the whole dish and there is nothing hidden in the sauce.

Taste them one at a time. The racerback is the structural ingredient: the straps pull in towards the spine and away from the shoulder blades, so nothing sits under a bag strap and nothing catches at the top of the serve — the same principle as a good apron, which ties where you are not working.

The scoop neck is the seasoning; it opens the throat, which is where you actually feel heat first, long before your arms have any opinion. And the wicking knit is the heat itself: sweat is lifted off the skin and pushed to the surface where the air takes it, so the shirt gets lighter as the match goes on instead of heavier.

Three ingredients, each doing one job properly.

I would rather cook that than something with twenty and no idea what it wants to be.

The Wildcat Cafe has been in business since 1937 — a log cabin in Old Town where the gold rush houses still stand, feeding prospectors, pilots and now the rest of us, and any kitchen that survives that many winters knows exactly what it is doing. Eat there.

It has booked itself into Yellowknife, and I approve of anything that goes north for the food.

Then climb the rock to the Bush Pilot's Monument and let it settle.
