This Small Indiana Town Has a Country Buffet Serving the Kind of Lunch Chain Restaurants Rarely Get Right

A plate of brown buttered noodles sitting next to a slice of Gma’s Amish Meatloaf is a lunch you can’t fake. That combo shows up at a small country restaurant where horse-drawn buggies roll past outside. I love that it skips the corporate script completely. The lunch buffet...

The Absolute Best Fried Chicken in Bloomington

There’s a point in every Bloomington food argument where fried chicken stops being a dish and becomes a measuring stick for the whole town.
