About this audio guide
This guide to the Burke Museum in Seattle starts with a food truck parked inside a natural history museum best known for one of the best-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex skulls on Earth. It follows Off the Rez, run by Mark McConnell and Cecilia Rikard, from its ranking among the country's top food trucks to its spot just past the ticket desk, serving fresh fry bread on land the museum acknowledges as Coast Salish. Sit at one of the handful of indoor tables, or take the patio just outside the doors, where the fry bread comes hot and the fossils wait upstairs.
