This Cozy Indiana Restaurant Is Now Nationally Renowned For Its Crispy Southern Fried Chicken

The fried chicken here sizzles in 14-inch cast-iron skillets filled with hog fat. That stubborn, old-school method helped earn a James Beard Foundation honor in 2023. I love that a tiny Indiana dining room won national praise with flour, salt, and a bold hit of black pepper. No trendy sauces.

Indiana’s Beloved Pizza Shop Has Served Generations Of Families Without Losing Its Charm

The French dressing on the chef’s salad comes from a family recipe. That one small detail tells you plenty about this pizza shop. The dough gets made from scratch, for both the pizzas and the breadsticks. The menu even says the pizza is made fresh to order, not fast food.

Indiana Diners Keep Visiting The State’s Last Location Of A Once-Massive Restaurant Chain

Bus drivers eat free here when they bring a group of 15 or more. That tells you plenty about the kind of crowd this buffet expects to feed. This restaurant is the last of its famous chain still standing in Indiana. At its late-1980s peak, the brand ran hundreds of locations and ranked among the largest steakhouse chains around.

Grab Your Keys And Road Trip To This Remote Steakhouse In Indiana For Its Legendary Steaks

If Indiana had a Mount Rushmore of great restaurants, Teibel’s Family Restaurant in Schererville would be carved into that stone with a very large chisel. It’s been quietly serving some of the best steaks in the state from a stone-faced building on a busy road in Lake County, and the people who know about it tend to keep coming back with a loyalty that borders on devotion.

From Crawfordsville to grocery stores across America

When most Americans pick up a package of sliced cheese at their local grocery store, they probably don’t give much thought to where it came from or the people and technology involved in getting it onto the shelf. But right here in west-central Indiana, hundreds of Hoosiers are helping make that possible every day.

5 Best Restaurants in Fishers, Indiana You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Fishers, Indiana — a city where the sun glints off new neighborhoods and old farmhouses, where the laughter of families rises from splash pads and schoolyards, where the scent of barbecue and garlic knots drifts through the evening air. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: red-brick storefronts, glassy new builds, and the gentle sprawl of subdivisions stitched together by memory and hope. Fishers is a crossroads — of Midwestern roots and new ambition, of tech startups and teachers, of families who’ve called these blocks home for generations and newcomers drawn by the promise of something bright and possible.

Trader Joe's limited-edition mystery bags return to Indiana stores

Highly anticipated mystery packs of limited-edition Trader Joe’s grocery bags designed to represent various U.S. states and regions will be sold in stores in Indiana on Nov. 4. The packs contain random reusable tote bags made of 100% polypropylene, a recyclable polymer, and feature three random designs. Monrovia, California-based Trader Joe’s sells the mystery packages during the holidays. Each bundle comes in a sealed brown paper bag and retails for $2.99. Unlike bags sold in neighborhood stores, which are typically region-specific, the bags in the mystery packs are from different places around the country or are specialty bags specific to that season’s pack. Most of the Indiana stores said they will not limit the number of bundles customers can buy when they begin sales, but they might implement limits later based on demand. Trader Joe’s stores in Indiana said they have seen a substantial increase in calls about the bag packs this year compared to 2025, when the bags sold out quickly. How to get a Trader Joe's mystery pack in Indiana Here are Trader Joe store locations in Indiana, and when they are expected to begin selling the mystery state bag packs. 5473 E. 82nd, Indianapolis Bags are expected

People Travel Miles for the Apple Fritters at This Truck-Stop Style Indiana Bakery with 1,100+ Reviews

The road-trip snack drawer has met its match. A packet of crackers looks a little sad next to an apple fritter that practically requires its own plate. This Indiana bakery has been making the oversized treat by hand since 1961, serving it with a light vanilla glaze and plenty of apple-cinnamon flavor. The little A-frame building has the sort of old-school character that suits a bakery known for doing one thing exceptionally well.
