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.

This Family-Owned Indianapolis BBQ Institution Has Kept Indiana Locals Coming Back For Ribs Since 1952

Some restaurants chase trends. Others simply keep the doors open, the pits busy, and the ribs coming for more than seven decades. On the west side of Indianapolis, one modest building has been doing exactly that since 1952, long before most of today’s customers were born. Families who came here as kids now bring their own children, and folks who moved across the country make it their first stop when they land back home.

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.

Dining Divas & Dudes go to Italy: New Italian Sensation in Downtown Lafayette, Napoli's!

Local diners have a big reason to celebrate, and so do the Dining Divas & Dudes: Downtown Lafayette has a new Italian restaurant! Located at 220 Columbia Street, which was formerly occupied by Merlin’s Beard, Flavor Country Urban Diner, and Bea One, among others. Chef and owner Giovonni Antonio hails from Naples, thus the name Napoli’s, and has another restaurant in Champaign IL, which was so popular, visitors from other cities begged him to open one in theirs. Lafayette is the lucky winner. Chef Antonio greeted us warmly and welcomed us inside. It’s a family operation with favorite family recipes in a big menu with something to please everyone. We got to Napoli’s around 11:20am and were the only ones there, but by 12:10pm, it was almost full. Word is getting around about this place.
