South Bend's Mad Dog offers quality service, low prices to south side
SOUTH BEND — Abdallah Alsalama and Jordan Al didn’t have a typical path to running a restaurant. In fact, Alsalama doesn’t even live in South Bend. The native Palestinian lives in Fishers, Indiana, and is a truck driver throughout the week, he said. But working in Fishers is where he met Al when the two began working at the same convenience store from 2014 to 2017. More than 10 years later, the two have partnered to run Mad Dog Gourmet Burgers & More, which officially opened four months ago, Alsalama said, serving “madly good” food on the city's south side. “We try to make sure that people see the quality and the value of what they’re getting,” Alsalama said. “The main goal is to make it affordable again. To make burgers, [and] food in general, affordable again.” Any restaurant owner can acknowledge that’s not an easy feat. The price of beef and veal was up 9.4% in the United States in July over the previous year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics , USA TODAY reported. Despite the difficulty of keeping prices down and margins up, Alsalama and Al have made it their mission to emphasize bold, unique

DoubleTree by Hilton introduces Shade Bar & Grill, new restaurant era
SOUTH BEND — DoubleTree by Hilton unveiled its newly renovated Shade Bar & Grill on Sept. 9 as a restaurant designed to serve as a gathering place for hotel guests and local residents alike. We’re "trying to be something where anybody feels like they can go in there and it’s not fancy. It’s not pretentious,” Food and Beverage Director Kevin Schulz said. “Really just honest food that tastes good and is fair-priced.” Before it was Shade, the hotel restaurant was Baker’s Bar and Grille, a venue with Studebaker-themed decorations that sold classic American comfort food. The transition to Shade came as an effort to match the city’s vision for downtown, Senior Vice President of Hotel Operations Michael Hinks said. But Shade wasn’t the only change to the hotel, Hinks said. A multimillion-dollar renovation also included redoing the hotel rooms and upgrading public spaces in the hotel, which opened in November 1981 as a Marriott and became a DoubleTree in August 2011, according to previous Tribune reporting. United Capital Corp. purchased the hotel for $27.5 million in 2017 and had already invested $4.4 million in the hotel before this latest round of improvements. In 2024, the project was announced for $9.2
