This Indiana Cafe Makes Breakfast All Day, Because Nobody Should Have to Wait for Pancakes

One of the most famous features at this little cafe is a cast iron bathtub turned into a fish tank. It once landed on a Travel Channel list of top ten bathrooms. That alone would earn a visit from me. But the place also roasts its own coffee and has done so for nearly 50 years.

Leaving The Hose Attached Through An Indiana Freeze Can Crack A Pipe Inside Your Wall

A pipe can split in January and stay quiet until March. No drip, no puddle, no warning at all, until the thaw arrives and water starts running somewhere behind the drywall. I learned the hard way that the culprit can be sitting in plain sight. Mine was coiled neatly by the back steps, looking helpful and harmless. I had put away the tomato cages, mulched the roses, and felt pretty smug about my fall cleanup.

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.
